Re: GNUnet and GNUTLS

[Schanzenbach, Martin]

The issue is/was that we did not have -lgnutls in the linker. At least 
that is my guess.
We are currently conflating two things here: one is that libgcrypt(!) 
was not detected. This is due to a change in the m4 detection logic. I 
fixed that some releases ago already.
The other, newer, issue since 0.22.0 is that the linker needs us to 
provide -lgnutls (at least that is my working assumption).
For some reasons most/our build systems and their linker allow 
transitive resolution of linking dependencies, but in case of Arch the 
linker errors out.
So if I am correct git master or the patch I provided in the other post 
should fix this.
