GPGDropThing and OS X Snow Leopard

[James Linder-3]

Hi,

I've been using GPGDropThing for a few years now and have recently
updated to Snow Leopard.  Now when I try to decrypt any of my
encrypted files with it, the contents do not get displayed.  Instead,
it only shows a single, blank line.

Is anyone else getting this result?  Is there a fix available for it?

Thanks,

James

GPGDropThing has not been updated since 2002. If you need a GUI to
decrypt files, you might want to try GPGFileTool (almost as ancient).
GPGTools has been updated in 2008 <http://www.tomsci.com/gpgtools/>
What version of PGP or GnuPG are you running?
If you use PGP or GnuPG, and want to encrypt/decrypt/sign/verify e-mail,
what e-mail client are you using?
Please, for further information on GnuPG, see
<http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/>.
If you are interested in gpg2, please see the separate MacGPG2 project
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/macgpg2/develop>

I am going to try to update GPGDropThing and GPGFileTool to use  
GPGME.  However, I don't want to risk conflicting with someone  
else....is anyone else working on this?

Should I be doing this using 1.4.9 or 2.0.12?

I am a rank newby with XCode.  I could use a little help getting  
started.  Is anyone in the US available for a half hour chat some  
evening?  I sure could use some help getting the GPGME framework  
working in XCode.  I'd be happy now just to be able to compile and run  
the GPGTester.  Once I get that going, I think I will be ready to  
start working on GPGDropThing or GPGFileTool.

Oh yea, I have been unable to find the source code for these  
apps....but that can wait until I get the above task figured out  
first.  In the mean time, I did apply to become a developer on the  
MacGPG SourceForge project.  Maybe that will lead to access to the  
source code.  Then I guess I need to better learn SVN.

So much to learn.....

I found an excellent ebook "Programming with GPGME and GPGAppKit on OS X" by Gordon Worley.  I think it is going to be a big help as I try to rewrite GPGDropThing and GPGFileTool using GPGME.  

However, I can't get to first base.  When I try to build the GPGME.framework, I get the following error....

Line Location gpgme.h:0: i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: /usr/local/include/gpgme.h: No such file or directory

Line Location gpgme.h:0: i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: warning: '-x objective-c-header' after last input file has no effect

Line Location gpgme.h:0: i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: no input files

Line Location gpgme.h:0: Command /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 failed with exit code 1

I am such a XCode newby and also a OS X newby that I can't figure out what this means.  Why should gpgme.h need to be placed in /usr/local/include?  Isn't having it in my XCode project good enough?  Also, if it does need to be put there, how do I do that?

Thanks mucho for your help!

Hi Clark,

Gordon once worked on GPG 1.4.x, but he left the project (for lack of time)
when he started his PhD.

That is likely the default location as expected by the compiler script
when it does not find the file in "." (this directory).

Either the directory "/usr/local/include" does not exist or it is not
listed in your PATH variable.  Sourceforge typically expects for shared
libraries to be located in "/usr/local/", so this is usually a good
place to install them.  If you don't want the libraries to be shared,
then you can locate them in XCode and adjust the path of the compiler
script accordingly.

> Isn't having it in my XCode project good enough?

This depends upon your PATH variable.
In Terminal, type "env" to get a list of current environent variables.
"setenv" may be used to change these or add new environment variables.

> Also, if it does need to be put there, how do I do that?

What Apple uses for PATH changes from build to build, but it has (in my
experience) never been satisfactory for open source compiles.  SO, I
explicitly define it myself in .tcshrc --> you will need to put a similar
statement in the .<shell-of-your-choice>rc file.

My PATH variable assignment command (from .tcshrc) is:
*> # Fix Apple's path problem
*> # "/usr/local/*" for opensource; "/opt/*" for MacPorts; "/sw/*" for Fink
*>  set path = (                                    \
*>      /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin              \
*>      /usr/bin /usr/sbin /bin /sbin               \
*>      /Developer/Tools /Developer/Applications    \
*>      ~/bin .                                     \
*>             )

Note that there are slight syntax differences in how <shell-of-your-choice>
wants this comand to be formatted.

> Thanks mucho for your help!

This will not resolve your problems, but it will bring you one small step
forward.  The next thing to check -- do you have *all* of the dependencies
(required shared libraries) in place.

Hello folks

I have recently install MacGPG on an iMac and on a MacBook Pro.  Both are running Snow Leopard.  

When I look at the keys in the Keychain, one of them shows the Cipher as "RSA".  
The other one shows it as "GPGRSAAlgorithmString".  

I would prefer the one that shows the long string show the Cipher as a simple RSA.  

Why is there the difference between my two installations of MacGPG?

Do you use the same system language?
This is a localization problem: you're missing some .strings file in  
the framework, maybe.
