samth / bcrypt.rkt

A Racket interface to bcrypt

A Racket interface to bcrypt

This is derived from bcrypt interface from the Python 'cryptacular' library by Daniel Holth, available here: https://bitbucket.org/dholth/cryptacular/

Includes the C sources for a version of bcrypt, which are compiled as part of raco setup bcrypt. The version of bcrypt is by Solar Designer, and is available here: http://www.openwall.com/crypt/

A C compiler is required at installation time, and is automatically found by the dynext library.

bcrypt.rkt's Issues

linker error on Linux

Not sure if this is a bcrypt or dynext issue. Or maybe it tries to do it this way to find the library during FFI at runtime.

Anyway, installing into a user scope on Linux (non-root user), I get an ld error due to it trying to write into the main installation.

link-extension: can't find an installed linker

On a fresh AWS instance (kindly provided by @samdphillips), with Racket 8.5 installed from PPA, installing the package results in the following error:

raco setup: pre-installing: <pkgs>/bcrypt/bcrypt (bcrypt)
link-extension: can't find an installed linker
  context...:

It makes sense that some tools are required for installation, but that requirement should be made explicit and documented.
