Ben Noordhuis f68a116c3c src: ensure that openssl's PRNG is fully seeded Ensure that OpenSSL has enough entropy (at least 256 bits) for its PRNG. The entropy pool starts out empty and needs to fill up before the PRNG can be used securely. OpenSSL normally fills the pool automatically but not when someone starts generating random numbers before the pool is full: in that case OpenSSL keeps lowering the entropy estimate to thwart attackers trying to guess the initial state of the PRNG. When that happens, we wait until enough entropy is available, something that normally should never take longer than a few milliseconds. Fixes #7338.		2014-03-26 11:31:32 +04:00

README.md

Evented I/O for V8 javascript.

To build:

Prerequisites (Unix only):

* GCC 4.2 or newer
* Python 2.6 or 2.7
* GNU Make 3.81 or newer
* libexecinfo (FreeBSD and OpenBSD only)

Unix/Macintosh:

./configure
make
make install

If your python binary is in a non-standard location or has a non-standard name, run the following instead:

export PYTHON=/path/to/python
$PYTHON ./configure
make
make install

Windows:

vcbuild.bat

You can download pre-built binaries for various operating systems from http://nodejs.org/download/. The Windows and OS X installers will prompt you for the location to install to. The tarballs are self-contained; you can extract them to a local directory with:

tar xzf /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz

Or system-wide with:

cd /usr/local && tar --strip-components 1 -xzf \
                     /path/to/node-<version>-<platform>-<arch>.tar.gz

To run the tests:
