I have GnuTLS installed, and it's not a script issue this
time. Does anybody know why this is happening?

GnuPG recognizes GnuTLS for me...
TLS support: gnutls
Maybe config.log gives a hint of why it's not being found for you.
Thanks Chris -- I won't be able to check this out until after the
weekend now.
OK, I returned earlier than expected. I've checked the GnuPG build
and it seems that libidn2 hadn't created a pkgconfig file. I've
manually created one, and now GnuPG builds with GnuTLS support, but
questions remain:-
1. What could have stopped the libidn2 build from creating a .pc
file? I seem to remember having this issue a few years ago, but I
can't remember which package was affected.
2. Libidn2 appears to be a dependency of GnuTLS. The book wrongly
shows libidn as an optional dependency. Instead, libidn2 needs to be
in the required dependency list, particularly if GnuTLS support is
required in a future GnuPG build.
3. Shouldn't libidn2 have a page of its own in the book, like NASM and
Yasm?
4. GnuTLS needs to be shown as an optional dependency of GnuPG. I
have already mentioned this in an earlier post (titled GnuPG-2.1.18).

Hi,
Is it possible that you create a ticket for that? I had forgotten about
the previous post, and I guess my fellow editors too. But it is stuff to
be included in the book IMHO (maybe after some more checking...), and a
ticket allows to remember to do that :-)
Regards,
Pierre
