Welcome to GNUnet
Please note that for many of its dependencies GNUnet requires very
recent versions of the libraries which are often NOT to be found in
-stable distributions in 2011. While using older packages may in some
+stable distributions in 2014. While using older packages may in some
cases on some operating systems may seem to work in some limited
fashion, we are in many cases aware of serious problems with older
packages. Hence please make sure to use the versions listed below.
These are the direct dependencies for running GNUnet:
- libextractor >= 0.6.1
-- libmicrohttpd >= 0.9.31
-- libgcrypt >= 1.2
-- libcurl >= 7.21.3
+- libmicrohttpd >= 0.9.33
+- libgcrypt >= 1.6
+- libgnurl >= 7.35.0 (available from https://gnunet.org/gnurl)
- libunistring >= 0.9.2
-- gnutls >= 2.12.0
+- gnutls >= 3.2.12
- libidn >= 1.0
+- libglpk >= 4.45
- openssl >= 1.0 (binary, used to generate X.509 certificate)
- libltdl >= 2.2 (part of GNU libtool)
- sqlite >= 3.8 (default database, required)
- mysql >= 5.1 (alternative to sqlite)
- postgres >= 8.3 (alternative to sqlite)
-- libopus >= 0.9.14 (optional for experimental conversation tool)
+- libopus >= 1.0.1 (optional for experimental conversation tool)

+- libogg >= 1.3.0 (optional for experimental conversation tool)
+- python-zbar >= 0.10 (optional for gnunet-qr)
+- TeX Live >= 2012 (optional for gnunet-bcd)
Recommended autotools for compiling the SVN version are:
- autoconf >= 2.59
the SERVICEHOME option in section "[PATHS]" to "/var/lib/gnunet" to
do this. Depending on your personal preferences, you may also want to
use "/etc/gnunet.conf" for the location of the configuration file in
-this case (instead of ~gnunet/.gnunet/gnunet.conf"). In this case,
-you need to start GNUnet using "gnunet-arm -s -c /etc/gnunet.conf".
+this case (instead of ~gnunet/.config/gnunet.conf"). In this case,
+you need to start GNUnet using "gnunet-arm -s -c /etc/gnunet.conf" or
+set "XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/etc/".
You can avoid running 'make install' as root if you run configure
with the "--with-sudo=yes" option and have extensive sudo rights
system-wide defaults (typically located in
$GNUNET_PREFIX/share/gnunet/config.d/) and a second one that overrides
default values with user-specific preferences. The user-specific
-configuration file should be located in "~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf" or its
+configuration file should be located in "~/.config/gnunet.conf" or its
location can be specified by giving the "-c" option to the respective
GNUnet application.
