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. |
