I have been thinking a lot about doing it with VC++ 6.0 but i'm not really
sure if its allowed with the gnu liscense and stuff.

It is allowed. But don't do it - it will be a headache as you can't
use the Makefile and configure stuff and have to edit many thinks
manually. It works for one release but wnats to maintain this. The
cross compiler works just fine (Although I should update it to use
egcs with some builtin mingw32 support).

First Problem is,

there is a typo in http://www.roads.lut.ac.uk/lists/g10/1999/02/0022.html
Correct is "./configure --target=i386--mingw32" (the typo was i386--ming32)

What about putting the way to build for win32 on the gnupg docu page ?


Then I tried


[root@lisa-t7 gnupg-0.9.3]# make
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/gnupg-0.9.3'
Making all in intl
make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/gnupg-0.9.3/intl'

As said before: When I make changes to GnuPG I don't care very much
about windows so it obvious that you will have some problems. I'm
going to fix this when I find some spare time.

You should use --disable-nls, disable the socket stuff, watch for
duplicate open of files, chmod, chdir etc. issue.

Please do not send me patches now. I have enough work to do for the
1.0 release :-). A Windoze version will come when we have solved all
the real problems.
