Hi all,
I just thought I'd mention that if building wpa-supplicant with gnutls
instead of openssl as recommended in the BLFS book (a questionable
choice for sure), one needs first to install libgcrypt (and its
dependency libgpg-error) otherwise wpa-supplicant will whine about not
finding gcrypt.h and compiling will fail. It seems to me that it is due
to gnutls using the nettle libraries for crypto.
I did that and I now have a working wpa-supplicant without using the
openssl ssl libraries.
Next I have two questions:
1) why wpa-supplicant would need ssl/tls libraries ? (this is how
ignorant I am, sorry), and
2) anyone ever built wpa-supplicant with the nettle crypto libraries
instead of libgcrypt ?
This is my first mail on any of the linuxfromscratch-related mailing
lists: please tell me if it was not appropriate.
David.
PS: I have been building LFS/BLFS for a few months now on a relatively
old notebook with limited ressources and found that these projects
totally changed the way I use my computer which I use now in a much more
efficient way thanks to the book and everything that goes on the mailing
lists. Thank you all for that !
