Hello,
it has been a while and I am trying to compile a new version of GPG
(2.5.19) and its libraries.
Only npth was already successfully compiled.
I am already struggling with libgpg-error and
since libgpg-error is the basis for everything else I am stuck.
error message:

I found this in the Changelog:
2025-12-09 Werner Koch <[email protected]>
argparse: gpgrt_fconcat to get the SYSCONFDIR.
+ commit 6fe7cf710254d78ada27fbf63747ab0e97bc6979
* src/stringutils.c (_gpgrt_fconcat): New internal function.
* src/argparse.c (_gpgrt_argparser): Use it.
New function gpgrt_fconcat.
+ commit 34dba88757fedb61d1ea63616a3e03837ccf50ab
* src/w32-utils.c: New.
* src/init.c (_gpg_err_init, DllMain): Call new init function.
* src/visibility.c (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
* src/gpg-error.h.in (gpgrt_fconcat): New prototype.
(GPGRT_FCONCAT_ABS): New.
(GPGRT_FCONCAT_TILDE): New.
(GPGRT_FCONCAT_SYSCONF): New.
* src/gpg-error.def.in (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
* src/gpg-error.vers: (gpgrt_fconcat): New.
* src/stringutils.c (_gpgrt_vfnameconcat): Repalce want-abs but
a new
flags arg. Change to support GPGRT_FCONCAT_SYSCONF. Fix tilde
expansion under Windows to use CISDL_PROFILE instead of $HOME.
Adjust
all callers.
* src/gpg-error.c (main): New command "fconcat".
Any idea, what the reason might be?
Which additional information can I provide to pinpoint the issue?
Best regards
Frank
On a different side note:
I tried to compile the library using xlclang++ and it resulted in an
empty (rather malformed) mkerror.h.
I was curious to why and found that the xlclang option '-P' creates a
.i-file and does not generate the output on stdout.
In case you want to support xlclang, either the option -P needs to be
dropped or the .i-file put into the following '| grep...'.
Regardless, even xlclang++ runs into the same 'Undefined symbol' after that.
Best regards
Frank
