gpgtar not building on limited macos environment

[Christoph Roland Murauer]

Hy Jake !

Thanks for your detailed informations.

I used a older Mac (Black MacBook) with a Intel Core 2 Due, a clean install of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on it, Xcode 3.2 from the DVD (it is not really important, because I never launched it) including gcc version 4.2.1. You wrote 32 bit intel with Mac OS X 10.6.8 and thats the reason why I asked for details. In the machine I tried is a 64 bit CPU but Snow Leopard uses by default a 32 bit kernel and 32 bit extension BUT the unfair thing is, that gcc builds by default 64 bit software on this machine. If you also had a machine like this then the following should work - if you have a real 32 bit machine (look in the system profiler) then I have to play around with the compiler options and / or older versions of the libraries / the software.

I downloaded the file gnupg-2.0.21.tar.bz2 (only to be sure that we talk about the same thing - isn´t meaned bad, maybe I talk about something different here), checked the integrity, extract it and run (I don´t use the autogen.sh script !)

./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-symcryptrun --enable-mailto

as you wrote before. Configure told me the missing libraries (thanks to Werner to show also the path to the missing libraries and an explanation text about it !). I downloaded pth-2.0.7.tar.gz, libksba-1.3.0.tar.bz2, libassuan-2.1.1.tar.bz2, libgcrypt-1.5.3.tar.gz and libgpg-error-1.12.tar.gz (not in that order), extract it and installed (for every library the same commands) it using 

./configure && make && sudo make install

The libgpg-error-1.12.tar.gz should be the first to install because of some dependancies. After that I runned configure with your given options again and it builds fine.
