Configure options
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
Here is a list of configure options which are sometime useful
|
||||
for installation.
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-static-rnd=<name>
|
||||
Force the use of the random byte gathering
|
||||
module <name>. Default is either to use /dev/random
|
||||
or the standard Uix module. Value for name:
|
||||
egd - Use the module which accesses the
|
||||
Entropy Gathering Daemon. See the webpages
|
||||
for more information about it.
|
||||
unix - Use the standard Unix module which does not
|
||||
have a very good performance.
|
||||
linux - Use the module which accesses /dev/random.
|
||||
This is the first choice and the default one
|
||||
for GNU/Linux or *BSD.
|
||||
none - Do not linkl any module in but rely on
|
||||
a dynmically loaded modules.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-egd-socket=<name>
|
||||
This is only used when EGD is used as random
|
||||
gatherer. GnuPG uses by default "~/.gnupg/entropy"
|
||||
as the socket to connect EGD. Using this option the
|
||||
socket name can be changed. You may use any filename
|
||||
here with 2 exceptions: a filename starting with
|
||||
"~/" uses the socket in the homedirectory of the user
|
||||
and one starting with a "=" uses a socket in the
|
||||
GnuPG homedirectory which is bye default "~/.gnupg".
|
||||
|
||||
--with-included-zlib
|
||||
Forces usage of the local zlib sources. Default is
|
||||
to use the (shared) library of the system.
|
||||
|
||||
--with-included-gettext
|
||||
Forces usage of the local gettext sources instead of
|
||||
the one provided by your system.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-nls
|
||||
Disable NLS support (See the file ABOUT-NLS)
|
||||
|
||||
--enable-m-guard
|
||||
Enable the integrated malloc checking code. Please
|
||||
note that this feature does not work on all CPUs
|
||||
(e.g. SunOS 5.7 on UltraSparc-2) and might give
|
||||
you a bus error.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-dynload
|
||||
If you have problems with dynamic loading, this
|
||||
option disables all dynamic loading stuff.
|
||||
|
||||
--disable-asm
|
||||
Do not use assembler modules. It is not possible
|
||||
to use this on some CPU types.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Problems
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
If you get unresolved externals "gettext" you should run configure
|
||||
again with the option "--with-included-gettext"; this is version
|
||||
0.10.35 which is available at alpha.gnu.org.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have other compile problems, try the configure options
|
||||
"--with-included-zlib" or "--disable-nls" (See ABOUT-NLS) or
|
||||
--disable-dynload.
|
||||
|
||||
We can't check all assembler files, so if you have problems
|
||||
assembling them (or the program crashes) use --disable-asm with
|
||||
./configure. The configure scripts may consider several
|
||||
subdirectories to get all available assembler files; be sure to
|
||||
delete the correct ones. The assembler replacements are in C and
|
||||
in mpi/generic; never delete udiv-qrnnd.S in any CPU directory,
|
||||
because there may be no C substitute. Don't forget to delete
|
||||
"config.cache" and run "./config.status --recheck".
|
||||
|
||||
Some make tools are broken - the best solution is to use GNU's
|
||||
make. Try gmake or grab the sources from a GNU archive and
|
||||
install them.
|
||||
|
||||
On some OSF you may get unresolved externals. This is a libtool
|
||||
problem and the workaround is to manually remove all the "-lc -lz"
|
||||
but the last one from the linker line and execute them manually.
|
||||
|
||||
On some architectures you see warnings like:
|
||||
longlong.h:175: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
|
||||
or
|
||||
http.c:647: warning: cast increases required alignment of target type
|
||||
This doesn't matter and we know about it (actually it is due to
|
||||
some warning options which we have enabled for gcc)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Specific problems on some machines
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* IBM RS/6000 running AIX:
|
||||
|
||||
Due to a change in gcc (since version 2.8) the MPI stuff may
|
||||
not build. In this case try to run configure using:
|
||||
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=powerpc" ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
* Compaq C V6.2 for alpha:
|
||||
|
||||
You may want to use the option "-msg-disable ptrmismatch1"
|
||||
to get rid of the sign/unsigned char mismatch warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
* SVR4.2 (ESIX V4.2 cc)
|
||||
|
||||
Due to problems with the ESIX as, you probably want to do
|
||||
CFLAGS="-O -K pentium" ./configure --disable-asm
|
||||
Reported by Reinhard Wobst.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The Random Device
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Random devices are available in Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD.
|
||||
Operating systems without a random devices must use another
|
||||
entropy collector. One entropy collector called rndunix and
|
||||
available as an extension module. You should put the line:
|
||||
load-extension rndunix
|
||||
into your ~/.gnupg/options file unless you have used the proper
|
||||
configure option.
|
||||
|
||||
This collector works by running a lot of commands that yield more
|
||||
or less unpredictable output and feds this as entropy into the
|
||||
random generator - It should work reliably but you should check
|
||||
whether it produces good output for your version of Unix. There
|
||||
are some debug options to help you (see cipher/rndunix.c).
|
||||
|
||||
Creating an RPM package
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
The file scripts/gnupg.spec is used to build a RPM package (both
|
||||
binary and src):
|
||||
1. copy the spec file into /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
|
||||
2. copy the tar file into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES
|
||||
3. type: rpm -ba SPECS/gnupg.spec
|
||||
|
||||
Or use the -t (--tarbuild) option of rpm:
|
||||
1. rpm -ta gnupg-x.x.x.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
The binary rpm file can now be found in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS, source
|
||||
rpm in /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS
