It\'s interesting that scruffy would mention GnuPG, as that\'s the first piece of software I\'ve been having trouble with. I\'ve built lots of things which either worked or failed spectacularly. GnuPG is the only thing I\'ve tried where configure worked but make didn\'t do anything.

There seems to be some sort of syntax error in the configure script for GnuPG. When I configure it, it tells me:

sed: 46: conftest.s1: unescaped newline inside substitute pattern

and, consequently, the generated Makefile is empty. Ergo, no targets to build when you make.

The makefile isn\'t the only file with this problem. There are a bunch of them. I\'ve quickly glanced through the configure script, but I\'m a sed newbie and my newbie eyes didn\'t spot the syntax error.
