- 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 5.2.1-26+16
- * binutils-mingw-w64-i686 2.25.90.20151209-1+6.5+b1
- * binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 2.25.90.20151209-1+6.5+b1
- The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
- necessary. The linked libraries are:
- * gmp 6.1.0
- * expat 2.1.0
- * sqlite 3.10.2
- * zlib 1.2.8
- * c-ares 1.10.0 with the dns.patch [1] applied
- * libssh2 1.6.0
- [1] http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2014-05/0008.shtml
- 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
- ------------
- * --file-allocation=falloc uses SetFileValidData function to allocate
- disk space without filling zero. But it has security
- implications. Refer to
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365544%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
- for more details.
- * 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.
