The library provides a high level interface to cryptographic building blocks using an extendable and flexible API. &lfs84_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 (or ) 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 documentation), 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 -dm755 /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 -dm755 /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; Command Explanations : This option enables libcap2 support.
