Fix configure.ac to abort ig libgcrypt is not found

Gnutls newer versions do no longer drag in libgcrypt automatically and as such we can not guarantee it's there.

The attach patch changes the build system to abort if gnutls is specified to be used but libgcrypt not found.

This avoids configure from passing just fine but the build failing later on.

by "newer versions" you mean 3.x, right? in that case, we should work with either gcrypt or whatever the new crypto lib is called. IIRC, we don't use any gcrypt methods ourselves, so it's mostly a matter of just #ifdef'ing out the gcrypt initialization calls if gnutls isn't using gcrypt.
Comment 2 Dominique Leuenberger 2011-08-25 13:01:17 UTC 
yes, I mean gnutls 3.0

the build failure is mostly for us #inclduing gcrypt.h.
But I did not check if we use anything from this header.
Comment 3 Dan Winship 2011-12-03 11:49:15 UTC 
glib-networking no longer directly depends on gcrypt
