Windows installer for 2.1.3 (was: GnuPG 2.1.3 released)

[Werner Koch]

Hi,

I just uploaded an _experimental_ Windows installer with GnuPG 2.1.3:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.3_20150413.exe  (2539k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.3_20150413.exe.sig

The exe has a SHA-1 checksum of

d5630904b3d68eddc2730a00bfc67d52658cbe7e  gnupg-w32-2.1.3_20150413.exe

I did only some quick tests and some basic stuff worked for me.

WARNING: This is a command line only version which does not even provide
a Pinentry.  Thus it is pretty useless unless you have installed your
own Pinentry.  A libgpgme is however included so that it can be used for
development.

A Pinentry is not provided so to avoid dependency problems with the Gtk+
or Qt+ libraries.  It would have been possible to include a simple
Windows pinentry and thus avoid dependencies on external libraries but
the one we have is too horrible for actual use.  A statically linked
version of a Pinentry is also too large.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner


p.s.

The installer has been build using this complete source tarball:

 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.3_20150413.tar.xz  (9013k)
 ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/gnupg-w32-2.1.3_20150413.tar.xz.sig

and the command 

  make -f ./build-aux/speedo.mk this-w32-installer

You need a complete and working mingw tool chain to do this.  You may
also prefer not to use the above source tarball but build it directly in
the same way I generated the source tarball, namely using

  make -f ./build-aux/speedo.mk w32-installer
  make -f ./build-aux/speedo.mk w32-source

which downloads all required packages, verifies their checksums, builds
the installer, and finally a complete source tarball.
