Thanks for the verification, @wltjr. I've pushed 19a18ba5fee049aac87b5114763095aaeb42430f to the master branch for future releases.

Btw, ecore-x was also needed, so that should remain. Just to be clear, the final version should be

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(EFL,[elementary >= 1.18,ecore-x])

Give or take the >= vs >.

@dkg it was the 2nd one, the EFL vs efl. That worked fine after uppercasing it! The >= may not be necessary, but might as well. I am on a much newer EFL, 1.25.1, so not really able to test that part of it. I should be running one of the latest autotools,

[ebuild   R    ] sys-devel/automake-1.16.3-r1:1.16::gentoo  USE="-test" 0 KiB
[ebuild   R    ] sys-devel/autoconf-2.69-r5:2.69::gentoo  USE="-emacs" 1,438 KiB
[ebuild   R    ] sys-devel/libtool-2.4.6-r6:2::gentoo  USE="-vanilla" 951 KiB

Pushed the change. Please test.

See the comment in rE13918d05a333: Allow building with --disable-threads. for ABI incompatibility.

hm, actually, maybe the efl should be EFL in order to produce and substitute the EFL_CFLAGS and EFL_LIBS variables.

@wltjr maybe it needs ecore-x as well as elementary > 1.18 in the PKG_CHECK_MODULES line? oh, and looks like i screwed up and used > where i should have used >= sorry! fixing those would make the PKG_CHECK_MODULES line be:

With the third case it accesses the settings file, but does not write anything.

When does it work and when not:

• It works: if I change columns, column widths, sorting column or window size. Then close Kleopatra and restart it within the same environment (screen size).

I'm sorry, if my wording sounded harsh.

Kleopatra running on Linux (Ubuntu 20.10, 21.04; Fedora 34, 35 (rawhide)) does this. Closing Kleopatras window saves columns and column widths as shown (it even works if I change the systemwide used font).
On Windows 10 this does not work. Closing Kleopatra via the windows "Close Button" or by selecting "Close Window" or "Exit" from the main menu settings will not be saved. Opening the window again will show columns as they where after installing (way to small for displaying the dates created and expired and the hash of the key). The sorting column is lost too on Windows, but not Linux.
I am unsure if this bug is triggered by my company setup, or if it exists on any Windows 10 installation.

Looks like its missing an include

@dkg for sure, I will test out the patch ASAP. Thanks for the ping.

I think you're saying "GnuPG will reject all subpackets marked with a critical flag unless there is a specific known semantic for *criticality* for that subpacket" Am I understanding that right? Is there a published list of criticality semantics that GnuPG is willing to accept? How do those semantics differ from standard semantics for the packet in question?

fwiw, i think a patch like this ought to work with reasonably-modern versions of autotools:

@wltjr maybe you could take a look at this?

Thanks. A few hours too late for 1.9.2.

werner this would really be a bug because we have code in Kleopatra to both save the selected coloumns, their widths and the sorting state.

??? Do you understand how ssh keys are handled by ssh client and ssh-agent?

Backport was done with commit rC1d312bc65846 (for unknown reasons it did not show up in the list of bugs related to this bug; I added it by hand). Fix will go into 1.8.8.

The mix up of external patches and commits makes it not easy to see what has been fixed. AFAICS rC3d095206c30d fixes the last bug mentioned by @ballapete on Jan 26.

When building with no threads support, I think that generating same lock-obj-pub-$host.h is just possible by this change.

Tell us the architecture(s) which doesn't support POSIX threads by uClibc.
Adding support for such an architecture would be the best.

Sorry, I was assuming uClibc were not supporting POSIX threads.

Thank you for more information.

I was not the author of the host "hacking" which has been committed to buildroot in 2016 by https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/package/?id=2f89476ad98b82ea9f914337b0050c4808082c82 so I can't really comment on it.

Especially, it seems that Jörg Krause started a discussion about this issue and proposed a patch to fix the architecture depends but it was never applied. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find more information as it seems that links on comments.gmane.org are broken ...

Please note that the result with --host="arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi" for linux-uclibcgnueabih machine is different to the one of correctly generated version by gen-posix-lock-obj.c with USE_POSIX_THREADS undefined on the host.

I found that the use of $CC -print-file-name=crt1.o won't work with some cross compiler.
For example, on my system of Debian bullseye for cross compiler ppc64el, while it's for multiarch configuration, crt1.o is under GNU cross style directory: /usr/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/lib

I would understand your workaorund of using artifical --host intentionally.

Merged your fix. Thanks for the contribution. Commit should show up here in a second.
