This is a binary version of GnuPG for MS-Windows 95, 98, WNT, W2000
|
|
and XP.
|
|
|
|
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", "gpgv.exe" and "gpgkeys_ldap.exe" to a 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
|
|
(you probably need to create the keys GNU and GnuPG) and insert a
|
|
new string under the name "HomeDir" with the value of the default
|
|
directory you want to use. 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
|
|
(you probably need to create the keys Mingw32 and NLS) using a string
|
|
entry with the name "MoDir".
|
|
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-1.2.n.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
or for development snapshots
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/gnupg/gnupg-1.x.n.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-0.3.2.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.exe
|
|
$ cp g10/gpg.exe /some_windows_drive/
|
|
|
|
And everything hopefully works. If there is a make problem in the
|
|
"po" directory you can eiterignore it or do a "touch po/all". To
|
|
build the distribtion ZIP file, you have to create a directory
|
|
"dist-w32" and run "scripts/mk-w32-dist" right after a successul make
|
|
run.
|
|
|
|
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.
