The library provides a high level interface to cryptographic building blocks using an extendable and flexible API. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libgcrypt-md5sum; Download size: &libgcrypt-size; Estimated disk space required: &libgcrypt-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libgcrypt-time; libgcrypt Dependencies Required Optional and User Notes: Installation of libgcrypt Install libgcrypt 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 to build the PDF and PostScript), then issue the following commands: make -C doc pdf ps html && makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/gcrypt_nochunks.html doc/gcrypt.texi && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/gcrypt.txt doc/gcrypt.texi To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version; && install -v -m644 README doc/{README.apichanges,fips*,libgcrypt*} \ /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version; If you built the additional documentation, install it by issuing the following commands as the root user: install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/gcrypt.html/* \ /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version;/html && install -v -m644 doc/gcrypt_nochunks.html \ /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version; && install -v -m644 doc/gcrypt.{pdf,ps,dvi,txt,texi} \ /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version; Contents Installed Programs Installed Library Installed Directory dumpsexp, hmac256 and libgcrypt-config libgcrypt.{so,a} /usr/share/doc/libgcrypt-&libgcrypt-version; Short Descriptions libgcrypt-config is a utility used to configure and build applications based on the libgcrypt(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 libgcrypt(3) library. libgcrypt-config libgcrypt.{so,a} contains the cryptographic API functions. libgcrypt.{so,a}
