Windows Version lacks GPG Encryption/Decryption support

Open srmfx opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

This is the message I receive when running dar from windows to list files in an archive that has been encrypted with a GPG Key on linux. I've carefully imported the GPG key(private and public) to windows. I'm also using 'GPG4WIN' on windows.

GPG4WIN

It seems that the Windows version of dar doesn't support Asymetric Strong encryption algorithms using GPGME feature. For some reason this comes ready and out-of-box for linux, but not for windows.

This is where I've got my windows version of dar: Sourceforge DAR Project

Message Output: "$ dar -l test_crypt.1.dar Warning, no archive exist with "test_crypt.1.dar" as basename, however a slice part of an archive which basename is "test_crypt" exists. Assuming a shell completion occurred and using that basename instead. Aborting due to exception: Asymetric Strong encryption algorithms using GPGME. Final memory cleanup. Aborting program. The requested operation needs a feature that has been disabled at compilation time: Asymetric Strong encryption algorithms using GPGME"
