題目: Re: [Libbitcoin] libsecp256k1 - initial integration
This is great William.

I recently completed GMP and Secp256k1 (both with GMP and with OpenSSL), all Secp256k1-GMP tests are passing.

So at this point all of the dependencies necessary to support all libbitcoin libs on Windows (and in Visual Studio) are now packaged and deployed to NuGet.

http://www.nuget.org/packages?q=evoskuil

Also all libbitcoin libs are building properly in VS and will be ready for packaging once the transition from OpenSSL is complete.
