I've prepared a "release candidate" tarball, https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/archive/nettle-3.4rc2.tar.gz
All testing appreciated, in particular on non-x86 or non-gnu/linux platforms. If all goes well, I might make the release next weekend.
I've built it with MinGW on MS-Windwos, and everything seems okay, including 100% success in running "make check". The only issue I can report is these compilation warnings:
gcc -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -O2 -gdwarf-4 -g3 -ggdb3 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wbad-function-cast -Wnested-externs -MT getopt.o -MD -MP -MF getopt.o.d -c getopt.c \ && true In file included from getopt.c:98:0: getopt.h:169:1: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] extern int getopt (); ^~~~~~ getopt.c:146:1: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype [-Wstrict-prototypes] extern char *getenv (); ^~~~~~ getopt.c: In function '_getopt_initialize': getopt.c:272:25: warning: unused parameter 'argc' [-Wunused-parameter] _getopt_initialize (int argc, char *const *argv, const char *optstring, ^~~~ getopt.c:272:44: warning: unused parameter 'argv' [-Wunused-parameter] _getopt_initialize (int argc, char *const *argv, const char *optstring, ^~~~ getopt.c: At top level: getopt.c:1188:1: warning: no previous prototype for 'getopt' [-Wmissing-prototypes] getopt (int argc, char *const *argv, const char *optstring) ^~~~~~
Also, the package lacks the de-facto standard install-strip target, which means packagers will have to strip by hand.
Thanks.
