-This is a binary version of GnuPG for MS-Windows 95, 98, WNT and W2000.
-
-A FAQ comes with this package and a probably more recent one can be
-found online at http://www.gnupg.org/faq.html. See
-http://www.gnupg.org/docs-mls.html for a list of mailing lists. In
-particular the list [email protected] might be useful to answer
-questions - but please read the FAQ first.
-
-Installation instructions:
---------------------------
- 1. Unpack the ZIP archive (alright, you already did this).
- 2. Copy "gpg.exe" and "gpgv.exe" to some place where you
- usually store your binaries.
- 3. Create a directory "c:\gnupg" (or any other as you like)
- 4. If you did not use the default directory "c:\gnupg", you
- should enter a string with the directory into the Registry
- under the key:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> GNU -> GnuPG
- (you probably need to create the keys GNU and GnuPG) and insert a
- new string under the name "HomeDir" with the value of the default
- directory you want to use. Please use forward slashes and not the
- backslashes when setting filenames for GnuPG into the Registry.
- 5. Enter "gpg" and see what happens
- 6. Read the file README and the online HOWTOs
-
-
-Internationalization support:
------------------------------
- 1. Decide where to store the translation files for your language.
- Here we assume the directory "c:/gnu/locale/fr"
-
- 2. Set the directory with the translations into the Registry under
- the key:
- HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Control Panel -> Mingw32 -> NLS
- (you probably need to create the keys Mingw32 and NLS) using a string
- entry with the name "MoDir".
- 3. Select which language to use and copy the currect translation file
- under the name "gnupg.mo" into the directory set in step 2
- (Example: "copy fr.mo c:\gnu\locale\fr\gnupg.mo")
- 4. Done.
-
-Currently we only support the Codepages 437, 850 und Latin1. If you have
-problems, either delete the gnupg.mo file or don't set the environment
-variable

-How to build it from the source:
---------------------------------
-This version has been build with the Mingw32/CPD kit using the latest
-stable version of GnuPG.
-
-First get the source: It has to be available at the same location you
-found this binary package - if not you should have received a written
-offer to get the source delivered to you See the file COPYING (section
-3) for details.
-
-If you got this package from its canonical place (ftp.gnupg.org), the
-source is available at:
-
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.2.n.tar.gz
-
-or for development snapshots
-
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.x.n.tar.gz
-
-this is the same source as for the Unix version. If your binary
-version of GnuPG is called something like gnupg-w32-1.0.4-1.zip, you
-should find a patch file named gnupg-w32-1.0.4-1.0.4-1.diff.gz at the
-same location, which has to be applied to the stock gpg source file.
-Instructions are at the top of this file.
-
-To build it, you need the MingW32/CPD kit, which is available at
-
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/mingw32-cpd-0.3.0.tar.gz
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/gcc-core-2.95.2.tar.gz
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
-
-gcc and binutils are stock GNU source which are available
-at every GNU mirror.
-
-After you have installed this environment you should be able to do this:
-
- $ scripts/autogen.sh --build-w32
- $ make
- $ mingw32 strip g10/gpg.exe
- $ cp g10/gpg.exe /some_windows_drive/
-
-And everything hopefully works.
-
-
-Don't forget that MS-Windows ist just a temporary workaround until
-you can switch to a GNU system ;-)
-
-Be the source always with you.
