-libgpg-error
-============
-
-This is a library that defines common error values for all GnuPG
-components. Among these are GPG, GPGSM, GPGME, GPG-Agent, libgcrypt,
-Libksba, DirMngr, Pinentry, SmartCard Daemon and more.
-
-libgpg-error is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
-it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as
-published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the
-License, or (at your option) any later version. See the file
-COPYING.LIB for copyright and warranty information.
-
-However, some files (for example src/mkerrnos.awk) used in the build
-process of the library are covered by a different license. Please see
-the header of these files and the file COPYING for copyright and
-warranty information on these files. A special exception in the
-copyright license of these files makes sure that the output in the
-build process, which is used in libgpg-error, is not affected by the
-GPL.
-
-
-Installation
-------------
-
-Please read the file INSTALL!
-
-Here is a quick summary:
-
-1) Check that you have unmodified sources. You can find instructions
- how to verify the sources below. Don't skip this - it is an
- important step!
-
-2) Unpack the archive. With GNU tar you can do it this way:
- "tar xjvf libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2"
-
-3) "cd libgpg-error-x.y"
-
-4) "./configure"
-
-5) "make"
-
-6) "make install"
-
-
-How to Verify the Source
-------------------------
-
-In order to check that the version of libgpg-error which you are going
-to install is an original and unmodified copy of the original, you can
-do it in one of the following ways:
-
-a) If you already have a trusted version of GnuPG installed, you can
- simply check the supplied signature:
-
- $ gpg --verify libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2.sig
-
- This checks that the detached signature libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2.sig
- is indeed a a signature of libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2.
-
- Please note that you have to use an old version of GnuPG to do all
- this stuff. *Never* use the version which was built using the
- library you are trying to verify!
-
-b) If you don't have any a trusted version of GnuPG, you can attempt
- to verify the SHA1 checksum, using a trusted version of the sha1sum
- program:
-
- $ sha1sum libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2
-
- This should yield an output _similar_ to this:
-
- 610064e5b77700f5771c8fde2691c4365e1ca100 libgpg-error-x.y.tar.bz2
-
- Now check that this checksum is _exactly_ the same as the one
- published via the announcement list and probably via Usenet.
-
-
-Hints
------
-
-To build for Windows you you may use the convenience command:
-
- ./autogen.sh --build-w32
-
-which runs configure with suitable options. For WindowsCE the command
-is:
-
- ./autogen.sh --build-w32ce
-
-
-Known Problems
---------------
-
-On Windows, WSA Error Codes can be provided as system error codes and
-will be transparently converted to the corresponding gpg error codes.
-There are two problems with this support:
-
-* Not all error codes corresponding to WSA Error codes have a detailed
- description when printed with gpg_strerror. Some will default to
- "Unknown error" for pretty printing. For example, WSAEHOSTDOWN will
- be translated to GPG_ERR_EHOSTDOWN, but there is no corresponding
- EHOSTDOWN in Windows and thus gpg_strerror will default to "Unknown
- error" as printed by the system's strerror function for the argument
- WSAEHOSTDOWN. (This could be fixed by adding our own error strings
- replacing or extending the system error strings, including their
- translations).
-
-* The translation to a gpg error code and back to a system error code
- in some cases does not preserve information. For example, the error code
- WSAEACCES translates to GPG_ERR_EACCES, which translates back to
- EACCES.
-
-Any WSA Error code has either the first problem or the second (but not
-both), depending on if there is a corresponding Windows error code.
