Build without `getrandom`

Closed this issue 4 years ago · 3 comments

Is it possible to build this crate with glibc < 2.29 (without getrandom())?

@vbrandl Do you have a suggestion for a source of randomness?
I could add a feature to switch it if there was another path available.

I think this is not an issue. The getrandom crate should work fine on systems without getrandom, it will just fall back down to reading from /dev/urandom.

Yeah seems like this was a problem on my site, due to conflicting versions of libc (2.30 from my Arch Linux and 2.26 at the time from the nix package manager). nix-unstable updated to 2.27 and the compilation error disappeared.
