Building GnuPG – libassuan version

Oct 10, 2023, 1:00 AM

Post #1 of 5 (181 views)

I just tried to build the current master branch of
https://dev.gnupg.org/source/gnupg.git

When trying to build it, I receive the error

*** You need libassuan to build this program.
*** This library is for example available at
*** https://gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/libassuan/
*** (at least version 3.0.0 (API 3) is required).

This is my configure command:

./configure --prefix=/opt/gnupg-2.4.3 --sysconfdir=/opt/gnupg-2.4.3/etc
--with-libgcrypt-prefix=/opt/libgcrypt
--with-libgpg-error-prefix=/opt/libgpg-error
--with-npth-prefix=/opt/npth --with-libassuan-prefix=/opt/libassuan3.0-base

I built libassuan 3.0-base from the tag
https://github.com/gpg/libassuan/tree/libassuan-3.0-base and installed
it at the dir shown above. Can anyone give me a hint what can be the
reason for still receiving this error message?

I see now that even
https://github.com/gpg/libassuan/tree/libassuan-3.0-base is identifying
itself as version "2.5.6-beta1" via its config binary. So I wonder how I
can have working version of libassuan for current GnuPG master.

Use libassuan master.

libassuan-3.0-base marks the branch point where the development of libassuan
3.0 split off of the further development of libassuan 2. Obviously, at this
point the version was still 2.x.

Ingo

Hi Falko,

I am travelling, so only a short reply.

Please do not use the github mirror - I am not sure whether it is always
up to date. Better use the https://dev.gnupg.org mirror or just the
plain git:// mirror.

You should simply checkout "master" and not a specific tag. Current
development goes into master and at least for me it works.
Current HEAD is at 16b6b7753229a41fb3b4bf77d34873db8f3cb682.

You need to get the latest libassuan master, build and install it and
also the latest libgpg-error.

Shalom-Salam,

Werner

Thanks Werner and Ingo. With the current master of libassuan I can
indeed build gnupg.
