How to compile GnuTLS | 易学教程

问题

I'm trying to compile GnuTLS library several times on Centos 6.2 but with no luck. These are the steps:

I downloaded Nettle 2.4

[root@localhost opt]# wget http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-2.4.tar.gz
[root@localhost nettle-2.4]# tar zxvf nettle-2.4.tar.gz
[root@localhost nettle-2.4]# cd nettle-2.4
[root@localhost nettle-2.4]# ./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr



  Version:           nettle 2.4
  Host type:         x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
  ABI:               64
  Assembly files:    x86_64
  Install prefix:    /usr
  Library directory: ${exec_prefix}/lib64
  Compiler:          gcc
  Shared libraries:  yes
  Public key crypto: no

I run the command make and make install

I downloaded the latest GnuTLS

 ./configure --with-libnettle-prefix=/usr

hecking for shared library run path origin... done
checking whether to use nettle... yes
checking for libnettle... no
configure: error:
  ***
  *** Libnettle 2.4 was not found.

What am I missing?

Best wishes

The issue is that nettle won't build libhogweed unless, as you've observed, the dev headers for libgmp are present. Unfortunately, the docs and .configure --help and output from configure don't say anything about this.

Meanwhile, the gnuTLS docs don't explain this either (and as you notice, its configure output here is not very helpful). Although libgmp is listed as a pre-req, for some reason libhogweed is not (perhaps because it is assumed to be part of nettle). The reason for your configure error "cannot find -lgmp" is that libgmp isn't present, but libhogweed.so won't be there either, since it is a hidden optional part of nettle. If you then install libgmp-dev and just run configure for gnutls, you'll get the same "checking for libnettle... no". What this should say is "checking for libhogweed... no", but whoever is in charge of the conf script is too lazy to break that up (I guess a patch could be submitted).

In other words, you need to install libgmp-dev and then rebuild nettle before you build gnutls.

I installed nettle-dev & nettle-bin and it works :)

回答3:

Gnu TLS configure script does not say out loud that pkg-config is needed and other package may not even be tried if pkg-config is not installed. Installing pkg-config fixed the issue for me.

I install gmp-devel. The problem is fixed.

回答5:

Had this problem on Debian for a while, try installing pkgconf package.

回答6:

Actually the problem was in configure script, incorrectly invoking the pkg-config Looks like its due to the version differences in autogen files. Anyway I fixed it in configure script.

They invoke pkg-config with => operator but libnettle names itelf incorrectly. For example, they invoke $PKG_CONFIG --libs "nettle >= 3.4.1" 2>/dev/null

The fix : so I just removed "=> 3.4.1" substring and voila:

    if test -n "$NETTLE_CFLAGS"; then
    pkg_cv_NETTLE_CFLAGS="$NETTLE_CFLAGS"
 elif test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
    if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG" && \
    { { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors \"nettle\""; } >&5
  ($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "nettle") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  test $ac_status = 0; }; then
  pkg_cv_NETTLE_CFLAGS=`$PKG_CONFIG --cflags "nettle" 2>/dev/null`
              test "x$?" != "x0" && pkg_failed=yes

its for CFLAGS and down below for LIBS flag:

if test -n "$NETTLE_LIBS"; then
    pkg_cv_NETTLE_LIBS="$NETTLE_LIBS"
 elif test -n "$PKG_CONFIG"; then
    if test -n "$PKG_CONFIG" && \
    { { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors \"nettle\""; } >&5
  ($PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "nettle") 2>&5
  ac_status=$?
  $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: \$? = $ac_status" >&5
  test $ac_status = 0; }; then
  pkg_cv_NETTLE_LIBS=`$PKG_CONFIG --libs "nettle" 2>/dev/null`
              test "x$?" != "x0" && pkg_failed=yes
else
  pkg_failed=yes
fi
 else
    pkg_failed=untried
fi
