The Go-verushash implementation is experimental software. Use it at your own risk.
This is preliminary work and subject to change.
Copyright 2020 VerusCoin Developers
Go-verushash is an implementation of the VerusCoin hash algorithms in C++ wrapped using swig to allow access from go
The C++ source modules are identical with those used in the verusd peer to peer daemon. The hash is current as of the V2b2 version, supporting that and all prior hashes.
Dependencies: cmake, go, swig, protoc, c++
Install Cmake
Install Go version 1.11 or later. You can see your current version by running go version.
First clone the archive and run cmake
~$ git clone git@github.com:Asherda/Go-VerusHash.git

Now that you've generated the Makefile, run make repeatedly each time you change naything, no need to repeat cmake:
~/Go-VerusHash$ make

If everything worked you now have the library file in the projects root directory.
~/Go-VerusHash$ ls -l libverushash.a

Usually you simply import this module directly from github into your golang module, so you won't need to do all of the above steps unless you are actually working on the Go-VerusHash code directly.
Import Go-VerusHash into your golang modules to access the verushash method. .
