GnuPG-2.1.3 won't build without openldap

[Wayne Blaszczyk]

The following error occurs during make:

make[3]: Entering directory '/opt/sources/gnupg-2.1.3/dirmngr'

A --disable-ldap parameter doesn't seem to fix the issue.

Partially confirmed.

I've got ldap installed, and build fails with --disable-ldap. Consequently, it is required by something.

It is slightly indicated in your log, but having ldap and checking with -j1, further investigation led me to suspect dirmngr required it. It was confirmed.

It can be built without ldap, using the extra switches:

--disable-ldap --disable-dirmngr

Therefore, openldap should be promoted to recommended, with the comment (required for dirmngr) and the two switches added together, in one <para> only, to Command Explanations.

Please after you test and if you agree with the solution, I will fix the book. Of course, if you have a better solution, it will very welcome.

Thanks for the report. Glad hearing from you!!!

I can confirm the issue. My system does not have ldap and failed with the error above. The switch --disable-dirmngr alone is enough to allow the build to complete.

I concur that ldap openldap should be promoted to recommended, but the --disable-ldap switch is not needed. I suspect it is only needed if ldap *is* installed, but you don't want it for this package.

Thanks, Bruce.

Will fix with your comment.
