%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Libassuan The Libassuan package contains an IPC library used by some of the other GnuPG related packages. Libassuan's primary use is to allow a client to interact with a non-persistent server. Libassuan is not, however, limited to use with GnuPG servers and clients. It was designed to be flexible enough to meet the demands of many transaction based environments with non-persistent servers. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libassuan-md5sum; Download size: &libassuan-size; Estimated disk space required: &libassuan-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libassuan-time; Libassuan Dependencies Optional Other packages (such as GnuPG-2) will require that the Libassuan library is linked to the Pth library. Ensure Pth is installed before beginning the build if you have any doubts. User Notes: Install Libassuan by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make Only info documentation is shipped in the package tarball. If you wish to build alternate formats of the documentation, you must have installed, then issue the following commands: make -C doc pdf ps html && makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/assuan_nochunks.html doc/assuan.texi && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/assuan.txt doc/assuan.texi To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m644 -D README /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version;/README If you built the additional documentation, install it by issuing the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/assuan.html/* \ /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/assuan_*.html \ /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version; && install -v -m644 doc/assuan.{pdf,ps,dvi,txt,texi} \ /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version; Installed Program Installed Libraries Installed Directory libassuan-config libassuan.a and libassuan-pth.a /usr/share/doc/libassuan-&libassuan-version; Short Descriptions libassuan-config is a utility used to configure and build applications based on the libassuan(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the libassuan(3) library. libassuan-config libassuan.a is the IPC library. libassuan.a libassuan-pth.a is the IPC library linked with the GNU Portable Threads Library. libassuan-pth.a
