Problems compiling gpg-agent fat on MacOSX

[Stéphane Corthésy]

Hi,

I compiled gpg-agent on MacOSX as fat/universal, i.e. compiled for  
ppc and i386 architectures at the same time; I already did that for  
gpg, gpgme and gpg-error, and encountered some identical problems, as  
well as new ones.

To compile libgcrypt (1.2.2), I needed to use libtool 1.5.22's  
config.guess, config.sub, install-sh and ltmain.sh, like I had to  
with gpg 1.4.2, before David kindly fixed that. Can you upgrade  
libgcrypt to, please? I also needed to change the endianness  
detection code, which doesn't work when you compile for 2 different  
architectures atthe same time; David already fixed that in gpg 1.4.3;  
if you could fix libgcrypt the same way, that would be nice.

libassuan 0.6.10 compiled fine.

I compiled also libksba 0.9.13 (though it is not necessary for gpg- 
agent); I had to tweak makefiles (I configured it with --disable- 
shared) and remove references to gl directory in Makefile and src/ 
Makefile. I had to fix the endianness configuration code too, like  
for libgcrypt.

I compiled gpg2 (1.9.20), configured with --disable-gpgsm, and had to  
fix the endianness configuration code. Also, like mentioned by  
Benjamin Donnachie some days ago, in tools/gpgparsemail.c:148, the  
'static' declaration of stpcpy() had to be removed. I also had to  
modify tools/Makefile to add $(PTH_LIBS) to gpg_connect_agent_LDADD  
definition, and add $(LIBINTL) $(PTH_LIBS) to gpgkey2ssh_LDADD  
definition. I still have a problem though: 'make check' fails (but  
gpg-agent itself works, hopefully).

Finally, a question about pinentry: why pinentry's assuan library is  
not replaceable by libassuan?

Best regards,
