[Help-gnutls] GNU TLS 2.2.4 installation

[Rajitha Reddy]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks so much for the information. I will install GNU TLS 2.6.0.

Yes, I am using Cygwin. Can I install it on linux if that's easier?

I followed the link http://cygwin.com/packages/gnutls/ and tried to download the following:

#  gnutls-2.4.1-1
# gnutls-2.4.1-1-src

But, the links further in #  gnutls-2.4.1-1 are not enabled.

So, the error I got is as follows:

=================================================================================
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall   -o libgcrypt.la -rpath /usr/l

Hopefully, the error message is readable now.

Thanks,
Rajitha.

The linewrap in your transcript was very odd.  I had difficulty reading it.  But it looks like you're using cygwin.  Is there a reason not to use the prebuilt cygwin gnutls packages?

Also, GnuTLS 2.2 is fairly old.  You might prefer a more recent version.  Please make sure that you track the project, though, as the current security advisory dust settles.
