[Gpg4win-devel] Claws Mail's installer, moving away from GPG4Win

[Colin Leroy]

Hello,

I've tried a lot, since GPG4win's repository includes the latest GLib,
to make a build succeed, but I never managed to. Be it with Ubuntu
11.10, 12.04 or 12.10 I had cross-build toolchain issues that ended up
with an impossibility to build glib or even to finish ./configure...

As it was a while since I wanted to have a more Claws-oriented Windows
package, I took the easy route and forked the now-unmaintained GPG4win
SVN repository, the most recent version I could build, so I can
maintain it on claws-mail.org.

I've reworked the installer there to remove what Claws Mail users
aren't interested in (like GPGol :-)), remove some questions they don't
need and some things like that.

The end result is visible on http://www.claws-mail.org/win32/ and the
source can be fetched via Subversion on:

    http://svn.claws-mail.org/svn/claws/

I will continue updating GPG4win's package.current file when I'll build
newer versions of Claws Mail if you think this will help you - but
these newer versions will have been tested with possibly older
libraries. The occasional breakage could happen. 

What do you think?

Thanks,

Colin
