User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gnupg
Install GnuPG by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib && make
If you have teTeX-3.0 installed and you wish to create documentation in alternate formats, issue the following commands:
make -C doc pdf ps html && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/gpg.txt doc/gpg.texi && makeinfo --plaintext -o doc/gpgv.txt doc/gpgv.texi
To test the results, issue: make check.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
chmod -v 4755 /usr/bin/gpg &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.3 &&
mv -v /usr/share/gnupg/{FAQ,faq.html} /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.3 &&
install -v -m644 \
doc/{highlights-1.4.txt,OpenPGP,samplekeys.asc,DETAILS,*.texi} \
/usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.3
If you created alternate formats of the documentation, install it using the following command as the root user:
cp -v -R doc/gpg{,v}.{dvi,html,pdf,ps,txt} /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.3
--libexecdir=/usr/lib: This command creates a gnupg directory in /usr/lib instead of /usr/libexec.
chmod -v 4755 /usr/bin/gpg: gpg is installed setuid root to avoid swapping out sensitive data.
