| Summary | 0005722: --with-libgcrypt-prefix does not work properly | ||||
| Description | When configuring GNUnet with --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$HOME/local, the configure step fails, even though libgcrypt is installed into that prefix properly. The supposed problem is a mismatch between the header version and library version of libgcrypt. It turns out that this is because the conftest program is *not* executed with the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH. When executing, ldd picks up the distributions libgcrypt. Thus when compiling with --with-libgcrypt-prefix=$PREFIX, you also have to manually put $PREFIX into LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or otherwise ./configure fails with an obscure error message. Instead, the configure script should execute the conftest in the right environment, respecting the prefix. | ||||

| Is --with-libgcrypt the only affected switch here? I have no system wide ldd config, but I can assume that this is not exclusive to gcrypt and we might want to double check the other lines where we use it. | |
| unassigning, pick up if you have a proposed fix. | |
| Not applicable anymore since GNUnet is using meson as build system now. | |
