FWIW I also ran into a few problems when trying to build the beta.

I believe the correct build instruction should have been

  make -f build-aux/speedo.mk this-native

At least that’s what I had to use on my machine. With `native`, Speedo attempted to use the latest *released* versions of Libassuan and Libgcrypt, resulting in GnuPG itself failing to build since it depends on newer versions of those libraries that have not been released yet.

With `this-native`, Speedo will use the already unpacked sources provided in the tarball (in PLAY/src).

Another problem is that when building bzip2, it would try to install a header in /usr/local, instead of the PLAY root. Not sure why, but I didn’t investigate further. I just removed bzip2 from the list of packages (variable `speedo_spkgs`) and let GnuPG use my system-wide bzip2 instead.

Hope this helps.
