To build the Schoof2 application, you must compile and link the modules 
together, with MIRACL C++ classes, and with the MIRACL library.

A precompiled Windows executable is available from
ftp://ftp.compapp.dcu.ie/pub/crypto/schoof2.exe

So for Borland C++ (although MS C++ is a fair bit quicker)

bcc32 schoof2.cpp poly2.cpp poly2mod.cpp ec2.cpp big.cpp gf2m.cpp crt.cpp
miracl.lib

On UNIX using g++, something like

g++ -I. -c poly2.cpp
g++ -I. -c poly2mod.cpp


g++ -I. schoof2.cpp poly2.o poly2mod.o big.o gf2m.o ec2.o crt.o 
miracl.a /usr/lib/libm.a -o schoof2

should work


Note that the headers poly2.h and poly2mod.h are assumed to be in 
the local directory.

To find a suitable polynomial basis refer to the table providing in
IEEE-P1363 Annex A, or compile and run the example program findbase.cpp
