GPGME v1.0.3 on Win32

[David ARMOUR]

Marcus,

In order to build the tools with a cross-compiler, can I do it with CYGWIN
on a Win32 platform or must I do it in a true UNIX platform, like LINUX?

Thanks for the info about GPG4WIN.


Thanks,
David

If you really want to build it yourself, here are a couple of hints.
Otherwise, skip this paragraph and read on below.  We currently only
support cross compilation.  This works just like any other cross
compilation (using "--host i586-mingw32msvc" and the other appropriate
options).  Or you can check out the --build-w32 option to autogen.sh.

For your convenience, we have a new project, GPG4Win, which contains
GPGME and a lot of other GnuPG related packages.  It is available from
http://www.gpg4win.org/

The GPG4Win sources also contain all the information about how to
cross build all these tools, but of course only indirectly via the
automated build rules.

Thanks,
Marcus
