Nice!

I spent some time last month getting gpg to cross-compile. Although I
went a bit further, going the extra mile to the msi.

Too bad I didn't manage to get it build on a 100% free environment, the
most I got to was to get it build on GNU/Linux under wine with
Microsoft .Net Framework (thus requiring a Windows license). Still
quite better than a full fledged Windows system, though.


I will review the errors I encountered and try to send the patches your
way. A few were a bit ugly though, like those involving windows max
file path limits. :-/

Should msi requisites be included with the rest of gpg ones or better
to treat them as a separate target?

Best regards
