Re: [Boost-users] md5 in boost sandbox

I have succesfully build your code, though I remember I have to add #include <boost/cstdint.hpp> in one of your header. I compared the computation result with other md5 library and it match so far. 

Thanks for your tip about crypto, I'll try it too.

1.  Don't start a new message by replying to an existing one.   
Threading mail- or news-readers will group this message with its  
"original," although they're really unrelated.

2.  The MD5 stuff is some code I just whipped up (I'm improving on it  
as we speak!) to be part of a Boost.CRC successor.  It currently does  
calculate (hopefully correct) MD5 results, so it's usable if you  
want.  There's a more extensive library with MD5, SHA-1, etc. called  
"crypto" by Kevin Sopp.  Look at <http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/

ticket/1777> for more details.

3.  The MD5-Sandbox library does have a mandatory source file  
("md5.cpp").  You probably wouldn't want me to dump that much
code  
into a header file, and therefore into every one of your files.   
Since it's non-template code, I can let the optimizer work on it once.

4.  On my setup, the project file has 6 targets: Boost.Test,  
Boost.Serialization, my md5.cpp, my md5basic.cpp example, my  
md5check.cpp example, and my unit tests.  The first three are set up  
as static libraries, the latter three are command-line executables  
that link to the libraries as needed.  For your own work, just  
include md5.cpp somewhere in your project/make-file, either with all  
of your source code directly or in a separate library target.
