GPGme on Windows

[jet042]

I've looked around, but I can't seem to find a reputable place to get a .dll of the gpgme extension for PHP on Windows. I don't have the tools or knowledge to build it myself. Anyone have a suggestion on how to enable these functions on Windows?

what do you mean by reputable ???
Is gpgme a crypto product ?

 

[jet042]

Yes, it is. It's the library of functions for Gnu Privacy Guard (

http://www.gnupg.org),

which can be used to encrypt and sign files for secure transmission.

download and install fink (for windows) and then use that to download and compil gpgme.

@ingresman - Thanks for looking, and glad to hand out some info while looking for help.

@jpadie - I can't seem to find fink for windows. Google gave me pdb.finkproject.org, and they seem to only work with Mac OS X.

my apologies. i was not thinking straight. the equivalent of fink is called cygwin, i don't know, however, whether a gpgme package is built for cygwin.

alternatively there is a how-to for win compiling here:

I found a blog entry about compiling an extension using Visual Studios C++ as well:

Of course, when I tried it I had errors because some header files were missing. Off to get that fixed, too.
