see doc/README.W32. For your convience I yank it here: How to build GnuPG from the source: =================================== Until recently all official GnuPG versions have been build using the Mingw32/CPD kit as available at ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/people/werner/cpd/mingw32-cpd-0.3.2.tar.gz . However, for maintenance reasons we switched to Debian's mingw32 cross compiler package and that is now the recommended way of building GnuPG for W32 platforms. It might be possible to build it nativly on a W32 platform but this is not supported. Please don't file any bug reports if it does not build with any other system than the recommended one. According to the conditions of the GNU General Public License you either got the source files with this package, a written offer to send you the source on demand or the source is available at the same site you downloaded the binary package. If you downloaded the package from the official GnuPG site or one of its mirrors, the corresponding source tarball is available in the sibling directory named gnupg. The source used to build all versions is always the same and the version numbers should match. If the version number of the binary package has a letter suffix, you will find a patch file installed in the "Src" directory with the changes relative to the generic version. The source is distributed as a BZIP2 or GZIP compressed tar archive. See the instructions in file README on how to check the integrity of that file. Wir a properly setup build environment, you unpack the tarball change to the created directory and run $ ./autogen.sh --build-w32 $ make $ cp g10/gpg*.exe /some_windows_drive/ Building a version with the installer is a bit more complex and basically works by creating a top directory, unpacking in that top directory, switching to the gnupg-1.x.y directory, running "./autogen.sh --build-w32" and "make", switching back to the top directory, running a "mkdir dist-w32; mkdir iconv", copying the required iconv files (iconv.dll, README.iconv, COPYING.LIB) into the iconv directory, running gnupg-1.x.y/scripts/mk-w32-dist and voila, the installer package will be available in the dist-w32 directory.
