HOWTO


# GnuTLS 3.7.10
# =============
# Slackware 14.0: gnutls 3.0.23
# Slackware 14.1: gnutls 3.1.16
# Slackware 14.2: gnutls 3.4.13
# Slackware 15.0: gnutls 3.7.2

# If you want to uninstall GnuTLS, or clean up files from an older version
# before installing the new one, skip down to the bottom for instructions.

# If you have trouble viewing the web site with the link above, try here:
# http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/

# Some applications that I use, that have HOWTOs, that (can) use GnuTLS are:
# CUPS
# gnome-vfs
# lftp
# neon
# OpenLDAP
# Pidgin
# Samba
# wget
#
# If anything is linked to libgnutls.so.whatever, you upgrade GnuTLS, and
# that shared library file becomes libgnutls.so.something else, run
# 'ldd /some/binary/program' to see if it links with the new shared library
# or not.  If not, rebuild and reinstall the other application.  In some
# cases, you may be able to create a symlink and run ldconfig, if the
# problem is only that it is looking for the old library file by a
# symbolic link name that no longer exists (e.g. libtnutls.so.28).

# An external OpenCDK library used to be required, but now GnuTLS uses
# the OpenCDK that is distributed with it.  If you have the external
# one installed, run 'make uninstall' from it's source directory (as root)
# and run 'ldconfig' (also as root).

# All releases > 2.10.3 use libnettle and p11-kit instead of libgcrypt
# Older releases used Libcfg+, it is no longer used
# Older releases used LZO, it is no longer used
# Older releases used readline, it is no longer used

# Prerequisites:
# pkg-config
# bison
# Libnettle 3.6 with GMP support (crypto back-end)
# libseccomp
# gmplib (arithmetic library)
# LibtASN1 4.9 (will use included one if not found; ASN.1 parsing)
# gtkdoc (optional; part of Slackware's linuxdoc-tools package)
# cmocka (optional; unit testing framework)
# p11-kit (optional; for smart card support)
# zlib (optional; for compression)
# Guile (optional; for Guile bindings)
# libunbound (optional; for DNSSEC/DANE support)
# TrouSerS (optional; for TPM support)
# libunistring

# The release announcement for this version is archived here:
# gnutls 3.8.1
# gnutls 3.7.10
