build gnupg2.1 on ubuntu trusty

Build-gnupg-21 - README.md

This Makefile builds gnupg 2.1, creates .deb packages and installs them on ubuntu trusty (and most likely anywhere else where the necessary build-dependencies are present and checkinstall is installed ).

If you are missing dependencies, the ./configure steps should tell you about those.

Building

• download gnupg-modern and all required libraries (libgcrypt,libgpg-error,libksba,libassuan,pinentry) from https://gnupg.org/download/index.html
• potentially change version numbers in the Makefile
• run make gpg

manual intervention

When building libgpg-error0, manual intervention is necessary:

Ubuntu has libgpg-error0 on a multiarch install and only accepts a package of the same version as the i386 version to be co-installed. Additionally, the package mode has to be set to multiarch:both. Checkinstall will halt and ask for modifications to the control file to be made. Those are:

Version: 1.12-0.2ubuntu1
Multi-Arch: same

exit your editor and everything should continue.

WARNING

the above multiarch hack may or may not break things. you have been warned.
