ELL - Embedded Linux library
****************************

Copyright (C) 2011-2014  Intel Corporation. All rights reserved.


Compilation and installation
============================

In order to compile the source code you need following software packages:
	- GCC compiler
	- GNU C library

To configure run:
	./configure --prefix=/usr

Configure automatically searches for all required components and packages.

To compile and install run:
	make && make install


Kernel dependencies
===================

In order to use this library you need a Linux kernel with support for
epoll and timerfd.

For checksum usage you need if_alg (crypto user-space API) with MD5
and SHA-1 algorithms enabled.

For Diffie-Hellman usage the KEYCTL_DH_COMPUTE command for the
keyctl() syscall is required.

Kernel configuration checklist:

	CONFIG_TIMERFD=y
	CONFIG_EVENTFD=y

	CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API=y
	CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH=y
	CONFIG_CRYPTO_MD5=y
	CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA1=y

	CONFIG_KEY_DH_OPERATIONS=y
