• Have you already tried running the latest nightly of the GPGTool Installer?

Well, yes... all I get is: Illegal instruction: 4

and nothing happens. Are the nightlies only runnable on Mountain Lion or something?

   Hi C,

   the latest nightlies no longer include ppc support.
   If that's the case, you will have to stick to older versions or compile the tools yourself. We might be re-adding ppc support at a later port but unfortunately don't have the resources to do this at the moment.

   Huh? I tried to run the nightly on 10.7.5 and got the aforementioned nonsense; this thread has nothing to do with ppc.

   You've been writing about PPC in a different discussion so I wanted to establish first if this was a PPC machine or not, since we haven't seen this error before.

   Also when exactly are you seeing it? Running gpg2 from the Terminal or what are you doing when this error happens?

   I thought the subject line made clear that this is not a PPC thread :)

   I see it when running gpg2, or indeed any of the binaries that come with the
   nightly, in the Terminal.

   This is 10.7.5, white MacBook.

   You're right, it should have.
   It's already pretty late here :)

   I've just tested the nightly and it works just fine on my machine.
   Could you please check if you find a gpg2 crash log in Console.app and attach it to this thread?

   Thanks!

   Same issue here with latest gpgtools nighties.

   The following nighties don't work and give "illegal instruction 4":

   MacGPG2 from 11/26/2012

   The one which I got from the backend server http://hekla.scnr.ch is working:

   MacGPG2 from 10/02/2012

   We'll have a look into it. Seems some builds created on 10.8 are not compatible with 10.7 for a non-apparent reason. Hope to have a fix soon!

    @Luke Le

    1. wrong group membership of symbolic links

    You may also check the permissions the installer leaves behind. In my case symbolic links have membership of group 7000. This is probably due to a missing option in chgrp or chown to alter symbolic links. I.e. chown -h.

    1. installer deletes libgcrypt in /usr/local/lib

    The installer should not touch /usr/local/lib since gpg2 uses its own path which is /usr/local/MacGPG2/.

    I.e. I use macports and have:

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 545368 Jan 10 14:59 /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.11.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 18 Jan 10 14:59 /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.dylib -> libgcrypt.11.dylib
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1055 Jan 10 14:59 /usr/local/lib/libgcrypt.la

    After installing MacGPG2 the above files have vanished.

    Will have to look into that, I'm pretty confident we're no longer deleting any symlink but those in /usr/local/bin.

    The new nightlies are fine again. The problem was that the flags were set to build for the host system version and upwards, and first our build system was a 10.6 machine, so everything was fine, now it's 10.8, so the builds only work on 10.8 upwards.
    It's fixed now.

    @Luke Le

    thx, will check nighties tomorrow.

    Btw, how can I build MacGPG2 from git clone?

    I tried make dmg but I get an error.

    Used the following steps:

    $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/GPGTools/MacGPG2.git -b master $ cd MacGPG2/ $ git submodule init $ git submodule update $ make compile

    EXPERIMENTAL! USE AT OWN RISK!

    ---

    ---

    Either run script as root with sudo or be available to enter password for make install

    ---

    ---

    First pass of libiconv

    ---

    ---

    Trying ./configure --enable-static=no --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/local/MacGPG2 --enable-extra-encodings

    ---

    checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
    checking whether build environment is sane... yes
    checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d

    ERROR - ABORTING

    ---

    make: *** [compile] Error 1

    Any help appreciated.

    It's best to use the homebrew branch, which is our new build build system
    and then simply run

    ./build.sh
