  1. aria2 Windows build
  2. ===================
  3. aria2 Windows build is provided in 2 flavors: 32bit version and 64bit
  4. version. The executable was compiled using mingw-w64 cross compiler on
  5. Debian Linux.
  6. * gcc-mingw-w64 4.9.0-2+13
  7. * binutils-mingw-w64-i686 2.24-2+3+b1
  8. * binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 2.24-2+3+b1
  9. The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
  10. necessary. The linked libraries are:
  11. * gmp 6.0.0
  12. * expat 2.1.0
  13. * sqlite 3.8.8.2
  14. * zlib 1.2.8
  15. * c-ares 1.10.0 with the dns.patch [1] applied
  16. [1] http://c-ares.haxx.se/mail/c-ares-archive-2014-05/0008.shtml
  17. This build has the following difference from the original release:
  18. * 32bit version only: ``--disable-ipv6`` is enabled by default. (In
  19. other words, IPv6 support is disabled by default).
  20. Known Issues
  21. ------------
  22. * When Ctrl-C is pressed, aria2 shows "Shutdown sequence
  23. commencing... Press Ctrl-C again for emergency shutdown." But
  24. mingw32 build cannot handle second Ctrl-C properly. The second
  25. Ctrl-C just kills aria2 instantly without proper shutdown sequence
  26. and you may lose data. So don't press Ctrl-C twice.
  27. * --daemon option doesn't work.
  28. * 32bit version only: When ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given,
  29. BitTorrent DHT may not work properly.
  30. * 32bit version only: Most of the IPv6 functionality does not work
  31. even if ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given.
