the native building platform is the mingw32/gcc compiler on Linux.
But the next release, 1.3.0, can be also compiled with mingw32/gcc on
Windows. There is also minor support for Eclipse/CDT.


We do not support the visual studio environment and there are no plans
to change this, sorry. In the past I built WinPT with Visual C++ and
it's not hard to create projects for WinPT. But because I never used
VS2005, I'm not able to assist you.

WinPT is a graphical front-end for GPG, not a full fledged OpenPGP
application. If you are interested in parsing OpenPGP data, you should
either take a look at the GPG code, pgpdump or an available openpgp library.
