# GPGME-1.12.0

## 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-8.4 platform.

### Package Information

- Download (HTTP): https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gpgme/gpgme-1.12.0.tar.bz2

- Download MD5 sum: 902fca3a94907efe4e929b2ade545a7c

- Download size: 1.6 MB

- Estimated disk space required: 163 MB (with all bindings)

- Estimated build time: 0.6 SBU (with parallelism=4; with all bindings, add 0.5 SBU for tests)

### GPGME Dependencies

#### Required

Libassuan-2.5.3

#### Optional

Doxygen-1.8.15 (for API documentation), GnuPG-2.2.13 (required if Qt or SWIG are installed; used during the testsuite), Clisp-2.49, Python-2.7.15, Qt-5.12.1, and/or SWIG-3.0.12 (for language bindings)

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/gpgme

## Installation of GPGME

Install GPGME by running the following commands:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-gpg-test &&
    make

To test the results, you should have GnuPG-2.2.13 installed and remove the --disable-gpg-test above. Issue: make 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-2.2.13. This parameter is not needed if GnuPG-2.2.13 is installed.

## Contents

Installed Program: gpgme-config and gpgme-tool
Installed Libraries: libgpgme-pthread.so and libgpgme.so
Installed Directory: /usr/share/common-lisp/source/gpgme

### Short Descriptions

gpgme-config | is used to obtain GPGME compilation and linking information.
gpgme-tool | prints fingerprint and keyid with keyservers.
`libgpgme-pthread.so` | contains the GPGME API functions for applications using pthread.
`libgpgme.so` | contains the GPGME API functions.
