I've managed to compile GPA 0.5.0 under GNU/Linux (Debian Woody, to be
exact), and it just doesn't work out of the box. As you say, you need GLib
1.3 (actually, right now it makes more sense to require 2.0, since that's
the stable release), but the configure script still sets it up to use 1.2.

After fixing that (requires GTK 2.0: I don't think it makes sense to use
different versions of GTK and GLib, although GPA needs GTK 1.2 compatibility
with GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN), it turns out that two Win32 specific libraries
(-lwsock32 and -liberty) are hard-coded into the src/Makefile.am

After removing those, it seems to compile and run allright, as far as I can
tell. I attach a patch with my changes, although I'm sure this isn't the
perfect way to do it, this has been tested to at least compile on Linux and
as far as I can tell, it should also compile under Mingw32 (I don't have=20
access to a working installation right now, it would be good if someone
tried it).

Mostly, what I've done is removing the hardcoded libraries and turned them
into tests in configure, as well as upgrading to GTK+ 2.0.

Maybe I'm the only one finding these problems, but I thought it might help.

By the way, several months ago I offered my help to port GPA to Gpgme.
However at the time Gpgme lacked the needed key management functions, and it
looked like GPA development was dead. Right now it seems that has changed
somewhat. So, if there is any interest, and someone could point me to the
right place to start, I could try to work on it (although at the moment I'm
a bit overwhelmed with exams, so don't expect a lot of progress for the next
three weeks).

I do have experience on GTK programming, and am willing to sign assignments
to the FSF if needed (they already have a program of mine).

Cheers,
