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
Towards this, I found that the -L./.libs which is there for/from the
linktool seems to be to late.
Putting it before the environment provided LDDFLAGS solves the problem.
Which spurred a thought:
checking, I still have several former libraries installed on the host.
Removing them, solves the problem.
Still might be good to change the order of the libraries as we want to
create new ones and local .libs should find precedence over already
installed versions.
Did I run into the same problem once before?
Best regards
Frank
