aria2 Windows build
===================

aria2 Windows build is provided in 2 flavors: 32bit version and 64bit
version. The executable was compiled using mingw-w64 cross compiler on
Debian Linux.

* gcc-mingw-w64               4.6.4-4+9
* binutils-mingw-w64-i686     2.23.52.2013
* binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64   2.23.52.2013

The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
necessary. The linked libraries are:

* openssl 1.0.1e
* expat 2.1.0
* sqlite 3.7.13
* zlib 1.2.8
* c-ares 1.10.0

This build has the following difference from the original release:

* 32bit version only: ``--disable-ipv6`` is enabled by default. (In
  other words, IPv6 support is disabled by default).

Known Issues
------------

* When Ctrl-C is pressed, aria2 shows "Shutdown sequence
  commencing... Press Ctrl-C again for emergency shutdown." But
  mingw32 build cannot handle second Ctrl-C properly. The second
  Ctrl-C just kills aria2 instantly without proper shutdown sequence
  and you may lose data. So don't press Ctrl-C twice.

* --daemon option doesn't work.

* 32bit version only: When ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given,
  BitTorrent DHT may not work properly.

* 32bit version only: Most of the IPv6 functionality does not work
even if ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given.
