I second that motion ;-)
I made some inept attempts to compile the modules, but failed.
Precompiled binaries of the extensions (or a Gnupg build for Win32 with
the modules included) would be very nice.
I for one could make do with a step-by-step on how to build something
like that using Cygwin.

Tschuess,

With a bit of hacking.

Wait 51 days for 1.0.3

Is that the countdown on the RSA patent (I forget the date)?
Does that mean we´ll have RSA, but not IDEA?
*sigh* I wish my boss would let me have a Linux box ;-)

Tschüß,

BTW, the RSA code is already in the CVS and it should work except for
key generation. You just have to replace some #if 0

Thanks. I tried that and built the 1.0.2 source with rsa.c and rsa.h from
the cvs tree. The build went ok and --version lists the RSA stuff as
available.
RSA keys are imported and --list-keys and --check-sigs give consistent
results.
However, my Cygwin build seems to have some kind of trouble accessing the
trustdb (I had the same problem with 1.0.1h):

| gpg: key 8D372FC9: public key imported
| gpg: trustdb: read failed (n=39): error 0
| gpg: /tmp/.gnupg/trustdb.gpggpg: get_dir_record: search_record failed:
| file read error
| gpg: trustdb error: file read error
| gpg: error reading `steuer.asc': file read error
| gpg: import from `steuer.asc' failed: file read error
| gpg: Total number processed: 0
| gpg: imported: 1

My guess is that is has something to do with the file name, but I´m
unable/too lazy to properly locate the problem.
I guess I´m going to wait for 1.0.3 after all ;-)

Thanks anyway...
Tschuess,
Ralf
