Re: How to get GnuPG and EGD to work together under Cygwin?

never tried ;-) but it should be possible. Did you read the annoncement
concerning gnupg 1.0.7-3?

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-08/msg01059.html

The relevant part is:

* Fixed the use of loadable modules. Now all modules can be loaded with the
   --load-extension=<modulename> command. The standard build will link
   rndlinux statically, but if you run
   $ ./configure --enable-static-rnd=none
   then also the rndegd random generator modules will be build as a loadable
   module. Attention! Now you have to call gpg with --load-extension=rnd???
   to make it work properly.

Actually, I never tried, but it may work. Please let me know if it does.

Bye
   Volker
