I'm currently working on a binding to Brian Gladman's C/assembler AES implementation. This code is sufficiently small that it makes little sense to create a separate C library for it; furthermore, it isn't typically packaged by the various linux distributions, never mind other OSs. As a result, I'd like to make it part of the cabalized AES package. This works well enough with the pure-C variant of the implementation, but it also has assembly-based implementations of the core encryption routines for x86 and x86_64, specifically using yasm, which I would like to use when possible. So, two problems.. - First, I need to make cabal detect yasm's presence, and call out to it when appropriate. The former I can do with a configure script; the latter, I'm not quite sure how to do. Currently, cabal can only do C; basically, I'm looking for a way to let it use any language that can be compiled to .o files. - Second, having manually compiled the C/asm bits to .a and .so form, I did eventually get cabal to link (seemingly) correctly against it, but it then did not proceed to copy libaes.so into ~/.cabal/lib/AES/.... I'm not sure how to make it do that, either. I suppose I'll have to use hooks, but I'd appreciate a little advice on how, exactly Well, I've put a snapshot of my current code at http://brage.info/~svein/aes/, so you can have a look. I'd really appreciate the help. -- Svein Ove Aas
