Questions
Answers
1. Compiling and Using the Library
1.1. Is OpenSSL required? ^
At this time, the xml-security-c library requires OpenSSL to perform cryptographic operations. However the library has been written to easily interface to other cryptographic providers. Future versions will provide interface layers to libgcrypt (the GNU Privacy Guard crypto library) and the Windows Crypto API.
1.2. Is Xalan required? ^
The library can be compiled without linking to Xalan-c. However doing so will disable support for XPath and XSLT transformations.
To disable Xalan-c support either use --without-xalan when running configure on UNIX, or use the VC++ "without Xalan" settings.
