- 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 gnupg-users@gnupg.org 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" 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\HomeDir
- 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\MODir
- (Example entry: "c:/gnu/locale/fr")
- 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-1.0.n.tar.gz
-
- or for snapshots (with a letter appended to the version number)
-
- ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/devel/gnupg-1.0.nx.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
- $ cp g10/gpg /some_windows_drive/gpg.exe
-
- 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.
