Introduction to Libassuan
The Libassuan package contains an
inter process communication library used by some of the other
GnuPG related packages.
Libassuan's primary use is to
allow a client to interact with a non-persistent server.
Libassuan is not, however, limited
to use with GnuPG servers and
clients. It was designed to be flexible enough to meet the demands
of many transaction based environments with non-persistent servers.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.0
platform.

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make &&
makeinfo --html --no-split -o doc/assuan_nochunks.html doc/assuan.texi &&

If you wish to build alternate formats of the documentation, you

To test the results, issue: make
check.
Now, as the root user:
make install &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/libassuan-2.0.3/html &&
install -v -m644 README doc/assuan{_nochunks.html,.txt,.texi} \
/usr/share/doc/libassuan-2.0.3
If you built the additional documentation, install it by issuing
the following commands as the root
user:
install -v -m644 doc/assuan.html/* \
/usr/share/doc/libassuan-2.0.3/html &&
