The GnuPG package contains a public/private key encryptor. This is useful for signing files or emails as proof of identity and preventing tampering with the contents of the file or email. For a more enhanced version of GnuPG which supports S/MIME, see the GnuPG-2.0.21 package.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.4 platform.

Install GnuPG by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib && make
If you have texlive-20130530 installed and you wish to create documentation in alternate formats, issue the following command:
make -C doc pdf html
To test the results, issue: make check.
Note that if you have already installed GnuPG 2, the instructions below will overwrite
/usr/share/man/man1/gpg-zip.1. Now,
as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.14 &&
cp -v /usr/share/gnupg/FAQ \
/usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.14 &&
install -v -m644 doc/{highlights-1.4.txt,OpenPGP,samplekeys.asc,DETAILS} \
/usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.14
If you created alternate formats of the documentation, install it
using the following command as the root user:
cp -v -R doc/gnupg1.{html,pdf} /usr/share/doc/gnupg-1.4.14
--libexecdir=/usr/lib: This
command creates a gnupg directory in
/usr/lib instead of /usr/libexec.
