+ | |||
+ | Newer Linux distributions are now shipping with GCC 11 which has depreciated some functions used in the Makefile for Cryptlib 3.4.5 causing the compile to fail. To work around this, either the source code needs to be updated, or a copy of GCC 9 must be installed in order to compile Cryptlib. | ||
+ | |||
+ | These steps outline the instructions for compiling by installing an older gcc rather than making any changes to the actual source code. Thanks to Alisha Stutz of swissIRC BBS for the steps below used to compile Cryptlib 3.4.5 on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: | ||

+ | sudo apt-get update | ||
