It +makes extensive use of the GNU Scientific Library (GSL), and includes a +battery of pseudorandom number generators (PRNG) and testing algorithms for +research and cryptographic applications. + +The software saw its last release in 2011, and differences with newer versions +of autoconf are starting to become apparent. Patches are applied mostly to +overcome these differences, as well as one trivial fix to appease C99. The +build installs the dieharder software as well as the libdieharder libraries +that can be called from your program code. |
