PBC Wrapper

Arcanum provides a wrapper around PBC by means of a tiny and efficient layer that enables the communication between the two libraries.

To use the wrapper a shared library written in C must be compiled and installed properly.

To compile the shared library, Arcanum provides a cmake style build configuration file.

Here are the instructions to compile the shared library under a unix-like environment.

Install PBC:
Look here for instructions.
Compile the Shared Library:
Starting from a Arcanum distribution, go to the arcanum-pbc folder and type in a shell the following:
```
ccmake .
```
Here is a screenshot of the shell.

Now press c and then g .
A Makefile file will be generated by cmake. Now in the shell type
```
make
```
The output should be:

If everything is OK then in the build folder you'll have the shared library compiled. Move the library to a system folder where Java can see it. Have a look to the "java.library.path" property to know where to place the library.
