  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 10.2.1-6+24.2
  7. * g++-mingw-w64 10.2.1-6+24.2
  8. * binutils-mingw-w64-i686 2.35.2-2+8.11+b3
  9. * binutils-mingw-w64-x86-64 2.35.2-2+8.11+b3
  10. The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
  11. necessary. The linked libraries are:
  12. * gmp 6.2.1
  13. * expat 2.4.1
  14. * sqlite 3.36.0
  15. * zlib 1.2.11
  16. * c-ares 1.17.2
  17. * libssh2 1.9.0 (+ https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/commit/ba149e804ef653cc05ed9803dfc94519ce9328f7.patch)
  18. This build has the following difference from the original release:
  19. * 32bit version only: ``--disable-ipv6`` is enabled by default. (In
  20. other words, IPv6 support is disabled by default).
  21. Known Issues
  22. ------------
  23. * --file-allocation=falloc uses SetFileValidData function to allocate
  24. disk space without filling zero. But it has security
  25. implications. Refer to
  26. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365544%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
  27. for more details.
  28. * When Ctrl-C is pressed, aria2 shows "Shutdown sequence
  29. commencing... Press Ctrl-C again for emergency shutdown." But
  30. mingw32 build cannot handle second Ctrl-C properly. The second
  31. Ctrl-C just kills aria2 instantly without proper shutdown sequence
  32. and you may lose data. So don't press Ctrl-C twice.
  33. * --daemon option doesn't work.
  34. * 32bit version only: When ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given,
  35. BitTorrent DHT may not work properly.
  36. * 32bit version only: Most of the IPv6 functionality does not work
  37. even if ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given.
