Installation problems...

[Strawn, Eric R.]

Max, thanks for your response.  Your English is just fine.

As for Gnumake, I again am having problems.  I was able to download, unzip
and untar the file.  I then ran:

CC=gcc CFLAGS=O2 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gmake

The configure seemed to work fine, no fatal errors.  I then tried to run
make and got the following error:


 make  all-recursive
Making all in glob
        /usr/local/pa20_64/bin/gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..

Stop.

Stop.


I also tried the build.sh script but get the following error:

In file included from ar.c:20:

I just can't seem to get this make process to work for everything.  All I
want to do is get the GnuPG software installed.  Does anyone know if it's
possible just to download the binaries for GnuPG rather than the source
(meaning I have to compile, configure, etc, etc)?  I'm at a loss with this
make process since I have no experience with it.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks again...

It seems to me that you are using HP `make'. Not an excellent choice for 
building GNU-style software, I think. I do not know whether there is 
such a recommendation in GnuPG docs, but I highly recommend you to 
install the latest GNU `make'. This is a very simple and straightforward 
procedure, even if you will have to build it from sources. This can save 
you a lot of time. All the makefiles you are dealing with were generated 
automatically by configure, which was utself created by autoconf. Those 
guys who have made that stuff expected GNU `make'. There ARE 
incompatibilities betweeen different `make's.

Again, I recommend you to alter you PATH so that configure, makefiles 
and I don't know who else could find `gcc' and GNU `make'. This simple 
decision will save your time.

Modifying an automatically-generated file is not a good idea. I am not a 
`make' guru, although I use GNU `make' intensively. I suppose that this 
construct is quite OK for GNU `make', but your `make' from HP - or 
should I call them HPQ now ;) - doesn't like it.

The latter error doesn't make much sence for me. But what I would have 
done in such situation:

    1. Install the latest version of GNU `make', either in the binary 
form or build it from sources. An executable can be called `gmake' or 
`make'.
    2. Alter PATH in your Bourn shell:
         PATH=/path/to/GNUmake:/path/to/gcc:$PATH; export PATH
    3. Once again, unpack GnuPG distribution:
         gzip -dc gpc-1.0.7.tar.gz | tar xvfi -
    4. Run configure as follows:
         CC=gcc CFLAGS='-O2 -pipe' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gpg
    5. If configuration fails, then you or me have made a mistake 
somewhere. Otherwise, invoke GNU `make':
         gmake

I cannot test all these, because currently I do not have access to 
HP-UX. But this _should_ work, although there may be some problems 
during compilation. Good luck.
