For all the work that you DO do, you certainly shouldn't have to do anything EXTRA you have np need for. So, if I can make things even a little easier, I was able to compile a windows binary for gnupg.1.4.11 from the listed sourcecode without too much difficulty, so am posting this for whomever it might be helpful. If anyone has any corrections please post, Thanks. - Compiling your own windows binary on windows (for people who never used a compiler): First, download the gnupg 1.x source code from the gnupg.org site, and verify the signature and checksum. Then download MINGW and MSYS from sourceforge, http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/ (click on 'Download mingw-get-inst-20110802.exe (579.4 kB)' , this will install all the necessary files). When installing, make sure that MSYS is checked off in the installer. The default is NOT to install it. It is much easier to compile things once MSYS is installed, as it allows the './configure' command to use the gnupg sourcecode to produce everything necessary for the makefile. The Installer links MSYS to MINGW automatically. By default, the installer installs to C:\MinGW and installs msys as a subdirectory of C:\MinGW. Unpack the sourcecode, and for the sake of example in these instructions, rename it gnupgxyzFMC and copy it to c:\gnupgxyzFMC (FMC = For Mingw Compiling ;-) ) Go to the msys subdirectory of c:\MinGW and click on the subdirectory of 1.0, then on msys.bat. The MinGW-Msys compiler window opens and lists your logon name, Type: cd /c:/gnupgxyzFMC and press enter. Type: ./configure --prefix=/mingw and press enter. The compiler checks the sourcecode files for the downloaded 1.x gnupg version and configures it for compilation on windows using minGW, and after many many lines, ends with the following: config.status: creating po/Makefile Version info: gnupg 1.4.11 Configured for MingW32 (i686-pc-minw32) (n.b. if you're on 64 bit windows, the above line may be different) type: make and press enter. After the compiler finishes and the $ prompt is shown again, the only thing left to do is to, is to type: make install and press enter. After the compiler finishes, type: gpg --version and press enter, and it displays: gpg (GnuPG) 1.4.11 The compiler has succesfully installed gpg.exe, gpgsplit.exe, gpgv.exe, and gpg-zip into C:\MinGW\bin and these can now be copied into whatever homedirectory you want. Again, my primary interest in this is to update Maxine Brandt's GPG- to-GO site, in the event that windows binaries for 1.x might not available. If anyone has a simpler way of doing this, or any other suggestions, please post, Thanks, vedaal ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users

I am not sure whether it is worth my time to build future 1.4 binaries; there are only a very few use cases very it does make sense - if there is one at all (Anyone still using NT 3.5 or so?). In particular the collected donations of exactly 1 Euro received in the 6 weeks since we have a donation button is not encouraging me to work on a special binary release for an OS and GnuPG version I have no need for.

Re: windows binary for gnupg 1.4.11 // link no longer on gnupg site?
It is no longer shown but it is available at ftp.gnupg.org/gnupg/binaries or something of the sort. Copy one of the link locations that link to the source code and modify that path in the location bar. It is inconvenient no doubt but it works. I hope there will be updates to the 1.x branch because I use it with Enigmail and have no use for the PGP agent that I read is mandatory in the 2.x branch.

windows binary for gnupg 1.4.11 // link no longer on gnupg site?
On the gnupg download site, http://gnupg.org/download/ There is no link for a windows binary for 1.4.11, only a link to the gpg4win site (a GREAT site and program, btw, but only for gnupg 2.x). Is there going to be a a windows binary for future builds of the gnupg 1.x branch? (I'm interested primarily in order to update Maxine Brandt's Torduninja site that I recreated, as no one had access to her old site after she passed on) http://www.angelfire.com/mb2/mbgpg2go/tp.html Thanks, vedaal ___ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
