GPGME-1.18.0
Introduction to GPGME
The GPGME package is a C library
that allows cryptography support to be added to a program. It is
designed to make access to public key crypto engines like
GnuPG or GpgSM easier for
applications. GPGME provides a
high-level crypto API for encryption, decryption, signing,
signature verification and key management.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 11.3
platform.

GPGME Dependencies
Required
libassuan-2.5.5
Optional
Doxygen-1.9.6 and Graphviz-7.1.0 (for API documentation),
GnuPG-2.4.0 (required if Qt or SWIG are
installed; used during the test suite), Clisp-2.49,
Qt-5.15.8, and/or SWIG-4.1.1 (for
language bindings)

Installation of GPGME
First, fix an issue building with Python 3.11 installed:
sed -e 's/3\.9/3.11/' \
-e 's/:3/:4/' \
-i configure
Apply a patch to fix build failure with SWIG and libgpg-error-1.46
or later:
patch -Np1 -i ../gpgme-1.18.0-gpg_error_1_46-1.patch
Install GPGME by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gpg-test &&
make
To test the results, you should have GnuPG-2.4.0 installed and
remove the --disable-gpg-test above. Issue:
make -k check.
Now, as the root user:
make install
Command Explanations
--disable-gpg-test: if this
parameter is not passed to configure, the test programs are built
during make stage,
which requires GnuPG-2.4.0. This parameter is not needed if
GnuPG-2.4.0 is installed.
