Having some issues installing from source

2015-10-03 Thread Joshua Terrill
I'm having a hell of a time trying to compile and install gnupg from the
source code on an ubuntu machine. I've posted a thread on AskUbuntu here
http://askubuntu.com/questions/681041/trying-to-compile-gnupg-from-source
if someone would be willing to lend a hand.

Thanks,
Josh

Joshua - If you are willing to give GnuPG modern (2.1.X) a go the
included Speedo method makes the compile process easy.  Here is the
entry I also posted on AskUbuntu:

1. sudo apt-get update

2. sudo apt-get install libldap2-dev gtk+-2 libbz2-dev

3. after unpacking the latest gnupg-2.1.X tarball and cd to the new
folder, run the command:

4. sudo make -f build-aux/speedo.mk native INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
sudo ldconfig

5. download the latest pinentry-0.9.5, run ./configure && make && sudo
make install.

6. test it out:  gpg2 --version

I noticed your build attempt was on gnupg-2.0.X which unfortunately
does not have the speedo method included (that I could find) but if
you want to have the newest features including elliptic curve crypto
then 2.1 is the best!  Good Luck.  -Murphy
