Hello,
the cause of the breakage is this line in src/util/functions.cpp
if (!gcry_check_version(GCRYPT_VERSION))
The macro GCRYPT_VERSION is expanded *at* *build* *time*. Therefore if
you build against 1.5.0 you end up with gcry_check_version("1.5.0"),
which fails (by design) when running against 1.4.6.
My advise would be to use the gcrypt version that libktorrent3 requires
instead of hardcoding the version it was built against.
Just specifying something non-ancient should work, e.g. 1.4.5:
- if (!gcry_check_version(GCRYPT_VERSION))
+ if (!gcry_check_version("1.4.5"))
