Build Installer Package

Building a new Gpg4win installer package is mostly automized. The build procedure can be executed on a GNU/Linux system or within a virtual maschine also on Windows and other systems.

• Build Gpg4win on GNU/Linux:

  In principle, any current GNU/Linux system is sufficient as the base system. Some minor adaptions might be necessary though. The specific GNU/Linux guide is tested with a Debian GNU/Linux 'Etch' 4.0 system.
  Furthermore, you need at least 503 MByte on your harddisk and a acceptable fast internet connection for downloading about 60 MBytes.

• Build Gpg4win on Windows:

  In principle, any current Windows system is sufficient as the base system. Some minor adaptions might be necessary though. The specific Windows guide is tested with Windows XP SP2.
  Furthermore, you need at least 1.5 GByte on your harddisk and a acceptable fast internet connection for downloading about 360 MBytes.

Typical tasks:

Update a single module (occasionally, ca. 1-4 hours)
