[zeromq-dev] Building curvezmq

[Laurent Alebarde]

Hi Pieter,

As you saw it in my curvezmq pull request and Gentoo ebuild, I am 
concerned with the way curvezmq is built. In my opinion, for a 
production build, curvezmq SHALL be built with libsodium.

At present time, it builds in "either way". To keep the "no option" 
CurveCP philosophy towards security, wouldn't it be a good thing to 
require libsodium for curvezmq build ?

We cannot assume, because we are here on security, that since libzmq now 
requires it, curvezmq is of course built with it.

But I admit I am a little paranoïd ;-) .

Cheers,


Laurent.
