I want to use Salsa20 as a part of my assignment. The implementation is available at everard/Salsa20 GitHub. The problem is I am new to git and programming.

The document says add Salsa20.h and Salsa20.inl, so does this mean that I have to add these files in the header of my *.cpp file or is there any other way that I could do that?

I tried to add Salsa20.h and Salsa20.inl in the header of my program (basically just copied those files to my current directory and tried to compile but ended up with errors). There is also main.cpp in the source folder of the project, so should I create main.h and add it as headers to my program. I honestly don't know what to do.

I am familiar with *.h files but not with *.inl files, I tried to read the questions on stackoverflow but it went over my head. I would also appreciate if someone could help me with that too. Thanks in advance.

  • Start by stating you platform, compiler and provide the errors you encountered. We can't guess what errors you encountered when you said *"... and tried to compile but ended up with errors"*. – jww Nov 11 '16 at 16:13
  • The problem is I have added Salsa20.inl also as a header in my cpp file. I was getting errors because of that. Thanks for your edit and comment. Still don't know why should I have .inl file. If you could shed some light on that it would be helpful. Thanks again. @jww – sickJuice Nov 11 '16 at 16:50

Looks like you only need as the project README says. Add Salsa20.h and Salsa20.inl files to your project. This means that you must copy this files in your working directory and only include the Salsa20.h in to your code as a header. The main file is a example.

  • Thank you for the solution. It worked for me, was trying to add Salsa20.inl and it was causing the problem. – sickJuice Nov 11 '16 at 16:52
