Libgcrypt depends on the library `libgpg-error', - which must be installed correctly before Libgcrypt is to be built. - Libgcrypt is distributed under the LGPL, see the section "License" - below for details. - - - Build Instructions - ------------------ - - The download canonical location for libgcrypt is: - - ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgcrypt/ - - To build libgcrypt you need libgpg-error: - - ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/libgpg-error/ - - You should get the latest versions of course. - - After building and installing the libgpg-error package, you may - continue with Libgcrypt installation As with allmost all GNU - packages, you just have to do - - ./configure - make - make check - make install - - The "make check" is not required but a good idea to see whether - the library works as expected. The check takes some while and - prints some benchmarking results. Before doing "make install" you - probably need to become root. - - To build libgcrypt for Microsoft Windows, you need to have the - mingw32 cross-building toolchain installed. Instead of running a - plain configure you use - - ./autogen.sh --build-w32 - make - make install - - By default this command sequences expectsd a libgpg-error - installed below $HOME/w32root and installs libgcrypt to that - directory too. See the autogen.sh code for details. - - The documentation is available as an Info file (gcrypt.info). To - build documentation in PDF, run this: - - cd doc - make pdf - - - - Mailing List - ------------ - - You may want to join the developer's mailing list - gcrypt-devel@gnupg.org by sending mail with a subject of - "subscribe" to gcrypt-devel-request@gnupg.org. An archive of this - list is available at http://lists.gnupg.org . - - - Configure options - ----------------- - Here is a list of configure options which are sometimes useful - for installation. - - --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-asm - Do not use assembler modules. It is not possible - to use this on some CPU types. - - --enable-ld-version-script - Libgcrypt tries to build a library where internal - symbols are not exported. This requires support - from ld and is currently enabled for a few OSes. - If you know that your ld supports the so called - ELF version scripts, you can use this option to - force its use. OTOH, if you get error message - from the linker, you probably want to use this - option to disable the use of version scripts. - Note, that you should never ever use an - undocumented symbol or one which is prefixed with - an underscore. - - --enable-ciphers=list - --enable-pubkey-ciphers=list - --enable-digests=list - If not otherwise specified, all algorithms - included in the libgcrypt source tree are built. - An exception are algorithms, which depend on - features not provided by the system, like 64bit - data types. With these switches it is possible - to select exactly those algorithm modules, which - should be built. The algorithms are to be - separated by spaces, commas or colons. To view - the list used with the current build the program - tests/version may be used. - - --disable-endian-check - Don't let configure test for the endianness but - try to use the OS provided macros at compile - time. This is helpful to create OS X fat binaries. - - --enable-random-daemon - Include support for a global random dawmon and - build the daemon. This is an experimental feature. - - --enable-mpi-path=EXTRA_PATH - Prepend EXTRA_PATH to list of CPU specific - optimizations. For example, if you want to add - optimizations forn a Intel Pentium 4 compatible - CPU, you may use - --enable-mpi-path=pentium4/sse2:pentium4/mmx - Take care: The generated library may crash on - non-compatible CPUs. - - --enable-random=NAME - Force the use of the random gathering module - NAME. Default is either to use /dev/random or - the auto mode. Possible values for NAME are: - 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. - auto - Compile linux, egd and unix in and - automagically select at runtime. - - --enable-hmac-binary-check - Include support to check the binary at runtime - against a HMAC checksum. This works only in FIPS - mode and on systems providing the dladdr function. - - --disable-padlock-support - Disable support for the PadLock engine of VIA - processors. The default is to use PadLock if - available. Try this if you get problems with - assembler code. - - --disable-O-flag-munging - Some code is too complex for some compilers while - in higher optimization modes, thus the compiler - invocation is modified to use a lower - optimization level. Usually this works very well - but on some platforms these rules break the - invocation. This option may be used to disable - the feature under the assumption that either good - CFLAGS are given or the compiler can grok the code. - - - Build Problems - -------------- - - We can't check all assembler files, so if you have problems - assembling them (or the program crashes) use --disable-asm with - ./configure. If you opt to delete individual replacement files in - hopes of using the remaining ones, be aware that the configure - scripts may consider several subdirectories to get all available - assembler files; be sure to delete the correct ones. Never delete - udiv-qrnnd.S in any CPU directory, because there may be no C - substitute (in mpi/genereic). Don't forget to delete - "config.cache" and run "./config.status --recheck". We got a few - reports about problems using versions of gcc earlier than 2.96 - along with a non-GNU assembler (as). If this applies to your - platform, you can either upgrade gcc to a more recent version, or - use the GNU assembler. - - 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. - - 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 - - * SVR4.2 (ESIX V4.2 cc) - - Due to problems with the ESIX as(1), you probably want to do: - CFLAGS="-O -K pentium" ./configure --disable-asm - - * SunOS 4.1.4 - - ./configure ac_cv_sys_symbol_underscore=yes - - * Sparc64 CPUs - - We have reports about failures in the AES module when - compiling using gcc (e.g. version 4.1.2) and the option -O3; - using -O2 solves the problem. - - - - License - ------- - - The library is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser - General Public License (LGPL); see the file COPYING.LIB for the - actual terms. The helper programs (e.g. gcryptrnd and getrandom) - as well as the documentation are distributed under the terms of - the GNU General Public License (GPL); see the file COPYING for the - actual terms. - - This library used to be available under the GPL - this was changed - with version 1.1.7 with the rationale that there are now many free - crypto libraries available and many of them come with capabilities - similar to Libcrypt. We decided that to foster the use of - cryptography in Free Software an LGPLed library would make more - sense because it avoids problems due to license incompatibilities - between some Free Software licenses and the GPL. - - Please note that in many cases it is better for a library to be - licensed under the GPL, so that it provides an advantage for free - software projects. The Lesser GPL is so named because it does - less to protect the freedom of the users of the code that it - covers. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html for - more explanation. - - - Contact - ------- - - See the file AUTHORS. - - Commercial grade support for Libgcrypt is available; please see - http://www.gnupg.org/service.html . - - - This file is Free Software; as a special exception the authors gives - unlimited permission to copy and/or distribute it, with or without - modifications, as long as this notice is preserved.
