<br>
you should really set aside problems wit the distribution and use the<br>
speedo variant to build eberthing. This is somewhat similar to an<br>
AppImage. From the README:<br>
<br>
To quickly build all required software without installing it, the<br>
Speedo target may be used:<br>
<br>
make -f build-aux/<a href="http://speedo.mk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">speedo.mk</a> native<br>
<br>
This target downloads all required libraries and does a native build<br>
of GnuPG to PLAY/inst/. GNU make and the patchelf tool are<br>
required. After the build the entire software including all<br>
libraries can be installed into an arbitrary location using for<br>
example:<br>
<br>
make -f build-aux/<a href="http://speedo.mk" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">speedo.mk</a> install SYSROOT=/usr/local/gnupg26<br>
<br>
and run the binaries like<br>
<br>
/usr/local/gnupg26/bin/gpg<br>
<br>
which will also start any daemon from the same directory. Make sure<br>
to stop already running daemons or use a different GNUPGHOME.<br>
<br>
We may eventually extend gpgconf.ctl file to allow setting of a<br>
different default home directory. For now you can use the GNUPGHOME<br>
envvar which also steps aside problems with systemd.<br>
