Dear developers,
I'm one of the editors of the "linux from scratch" project.
I'm sorry if this is duplicate, but a search for "gpgme build fail"
didn't lead to anything similar to the following:
When building gpgme, the presence of gnupg on the system is not tested,
but the build fails if it is not installed, when trying to execute:
$(TESTS_ENVIRONMENT) $(GPG) --batch --no-permission-warning \
--import $(top_srcdir)/tests/gpg/pubdemo.asc
in tests/gpg/Makefile.am.
There is an obvious workaround, which is to pass "--disable-gpg-test"
to configure, but this is nowhere documented.
Some similar instructions using gpg ($(GPG)) have a "-" at the
beginning, which prevents the build from failing (the error is
"ignored"), but not all such instructions. Shouldn't all the
instructions using gpg be protected similarly?
It seems the "-" was removed at commit a5b040cc57c, without anything in
the commit message explaining why (this may have been discussed
elsewhere then, I have not checked). So it may just be an accidental
removal...
If you need me to send a patch, I can do that.
Regards
Pierre
