Hi,

I tried to build current master on Fedora F29 and that failed at two points:

One is the call

/usr/bin/docbook2texi --encoding=utf-8 \
    --string-param output-file=mutt \
    --string-param 'directory-category=Email-software' \
    --string-param 'directory-description=Text based mail reader' \
    manual.xml

for which /usr/bin/docbook2texi is a Jade Wrapper with

jw -f docbook -b texi "$@"

and that doesn't know the --string-param option.

I worked around the failure with a temporary

diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac
index 102ddea2..8eb22d1e 100644

 AM_CONDITIONAL(BUILD_INFO, test x$do_build_info = xyes)
 AC_SUBST(DB2XTEXI)

which of course is not a real solution, but I don't know any better now.


Second is a linkage failure of the mutt executable

/usr/bin/ld: crypt-gpgme.o: undefined reference to symbol 
'gpgrt_cmp_version@@GPG_ERROR_1.0'
/usr/bin/ld: //usr/lib64/libgpg-error.so.0: error adding symbols: DSO missing 
from command line

The problem is that a /usr/bin/gpgme-config --libs  only returns

-L/usr/lib64 -lgpgme

and excludes -lgpg-error because libgpg-error is a separate package and
has a separate /usr/bin/gpg-error-config

That can be remedied with

Interestingly on Debian there are also the two packages but
/usr/bin/gpgme-config --libs includes -lgpg-error so it doesn't fail,
but there's also /usr/bin/gpg-error-config and listing -lgpg-error twice
if so doesn't harm.

I think the above patch should do for all platforms but I only build on
those two. Anyhow, I created a merge request of it at
https://gitlab.com/muttmua/mutt/merge_requests/46
