Hello Simon, Thanks for the reply.
I do have one more query. Does gnutls provides Transport Layer Security using SSL? If the answer to the above question is YES than how will this be provided in our application as we are not linking or using any API's defined in SSL library. If the answer to the above question is NO than how does libgnutls provides security to the transport connection without using SSL? Thanks Amit On 6/29/07, Simon Josefsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Is there any way to do it. Just don't link your application against libgnutls-extra and you should be fine. > I have verified using ldd command that libgnutls-extra.so requires > libgnutls.so for linking and not vice versa thus libgnutls.so library can be > used independently.

If you really need to avoid _compiling_ libgnutls-extra (although I don't see why?), you could run './configure' and then invoke 'make install' manually in lgl/, gl/, includes/, and lib/. However, I recommend that you simply do 'make install' and then decide when linking your application whether to use libgnutls-extra or not. /Simon
