[Announce] GnuPG 1.2.5 build instruction update

[Werner Koch]

[Okay, its not my day.  I accidently hit C-c r right before sending
the mail.]

Hi,

due to a problem with the gettext installation on the build machine a
little annoying bug will disturb the build process of GnuPG 1.2.5 when
doing the "make install":

  ../../scripts/mkinstalldirs: ../../scripts/mkinstalldirs: No such file
  or directory
  make[1]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127

There is a simple workaround however:  Instead of "make install" use

  make install mkinstalldirs=`pwd`/scripts/mkinstalldirs

and it should work as expected. 

Although I always prepare distributions using "make distcheck", I
obviously forgot to do a manual install to detect non-VPATH related
build problems.  Someone should have noticed and reported this bug
with the last release candidate, which in fact was also affected by
it.

Salve Gnus,

  Werner
