Dear Mr. Mudzingwa

Hi Sir! An interesting question,

UX:as: ERROR:

as  may be the assembler, on UNIX you have different tools from the open
source world than some of the proprietary ones.

bash-3.00$ which  as
/usr/bin/as

bash-3.00$ as -V
as: Sun Compiler Common 12 SunOS_i386 snv_64 04/30/2007

When you use gnu software you will need the gnu assembler

you can use gmake instead of make

when you invoke gmake you may specify which assembler you need

like this

gmake AS=gas  # on the invocation command line.

please read the man page of gmake and gas

www.gnu.org/software/make/

http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/

    *  ld - the GNU linker.
    * as - the GNU assembler.

and you most likely also need the gnu c compiler.

 cc -E -I.. -I../include

looks like the native c compiler for your unix system.

For gnu software some gnu tools are necessary.

man gcc  man gmake  man gas will help.

This is for helping you compile GnuPG on SCO Unix,

===

One workaround would be to take  PGP for unix from here
http://www.pgpi.org/

the far better solution would be to go for debian linux or some higly
secure BSD flavour.

debian is here  debian.org

right out of the box paranoic security is offereed on the fly from

obenbsd.org

If you need professional unix support you may get it from sco,
but also IBM and Sun Microsystems as well as HP offers unix.

RedHat and Ubuintu Linux is offered with a support license, but it is so
well coded and easy to use that you most likely won't need any support
if you decide to take the RedHat, Suse or Ubuntu offer from sun.

If you are legally bound and enforced to run only unix certified
software, you can ask sco,  or investigate here:

http://www.unix.org/

The unix specification says, that  a set of software,  on a given set of
hardware for a certain period of time is UNIX. Add some extension card
and some minor software configuration then you have no more unix.

GnuPG is quite easy to run on any linux or BSD but needs troubleshooting
when porting to UNIX.

Not only Gnu  compiler tools may cause strange hicups and annoying
results, even simple commands like chmod  chown chgrp  are implemented
different on for example solaris than Linux.  however the manpages can
tell you more about this.

Since you ask on behalf of a bank which I happen to be customer of, it
is in my interest that you only accept OpenBSD for higest security.

That has proactive security and is easy as anything.

here we go:

http://www.openbsd.org/

Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!

The OpenBSD project produces a FREE, multi-platform 4.4BSD-based
UNIX-like operating system. Our efforts emphasize portability,
standardization, correctness, proactive security and integrated
cryptography.

http://www.openbsd.org/4.5_packages/sh/gnupg-1.4.9.tgz-long.html

Package Information for gnupg-1.4.9.tgz (sh)

you find more here

http://www.google.com/BSD
search for openbsd  gnupg 1.4.9

Gnu is ported to OpenBSD without the linux emulation sometimes otherwise
needed.

Also the command line options for the UNIX native C and C++  compilers
are different than what is Gnu Standard.

Sincerely yours,

Morten Gulbrandsen
