It is however okay to verify signatures +or encrypt files using this version. + +PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY: + +If you have a bug report, please post it to the mailing list +<[email protected]>. Please don't send me private mail +regarding this version of GnuPG; I am already spending too much +time on answering the same and same questions over and over. +I can improve GnuPG much faster if I don't have to answer +questions in private mail. You can post to the mailing list +without prior subscribing (but please request to CC you if you want +to get an answer). + + +Installation instructions: +-------------------------- + 1. Unpack the ZIP archive (alright, you already did this) + 2. Copy "gpg.exe" to some place where you usually store your + binaries. + 3. Create a directory "c:\gnupg" (or any other as you like) + 4. Copy the file "entropy.dll" to this directory. + 5. If you did not use the default directory "c:\gnupg", you + should put a line: + "set GNUPGHOME=c:\my_gnupg_directory" + into your autoexec.bat or wherever you setup the environment + variables. The create a file named "options" in this + directory with the contents: + "entropy-dll-name c:/my_gnupg_directory/entropy.dll" + (Please notice that you have to use a normal slash and not + a backslash here) + 6. Enter "gpg" and see what happens + 7. Read the file README and the online HOWTOs + + +Internationalization support: +----------------------------- + 1. Decide where to store the translation files. Here we assume + the directory "c:/gnu/share" + 2. Set an environment Variable: + "set MINGW32_NLS_DIR=c:/gnu/share" + 3. Select which language to use. If you want the French translation, + copy the file "fr.mo" to "c:/gnu/share/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 is available at + + ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-1.0.n.tar.gz + +or for snapshots (with a letter appended to the version number) + + ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.nx.tar.gz + +this is the same source as for the Unix version. + +To build it, you need the MingW32/CPD kit, which is available at + + ftp://ftp.openit.de/pub/cpd/mingw32-cpd-0.1.tar.gz + +I will probably upload a new version, as the current is known to have some +problems. After you have installed this environment, you should be +able to do this: + + $ ./configure --target=i386--mingw32 + $ make + $ i386--mingw32-strip g10/gpg + $ cp g10/gpg /some_windows_drive/gpg.exe + +And everything hopefully works. + +It is currently not possible to build the entropy DLL with the MingW32/CPD +because it is still lacking C++ support. But I am working on it. +However the source is available at + + ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/contrib/winseed.zip + +follow the instructions to build it (if you have a MS tool chain). + + + +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. + + Werner + |
