Getting Started

  • Get an even-minor-version (like 2.2.5) zip of GNUTLS from http://josefsson.org/gnutls4win/ and unzip it.
  • In the lib directory, open every .la file and replace "/home/jas/gnutls4win/inst" with "/mingw" - no quotes. Also, remove any instances of " -L../../../src/gnutls-2.2.5/lib/.libs" at the beginning of dependency_libs strings.
  • Overlay the unzipped, fixed files (that is, the bin, include, lib, and so on directories) on your mingw tree.
  • Download the libsoup source from [1] and the patch from AbiWord Bug #11639, and apply the patch, placed inside the untarred source dir, using 
patch -p1 < patch-name.diff

Configuration

  • In an MSYS shell in the location where you untarred the source, run 
./configure --enable-ssl --prefix=/mingw

Building and Packaging

  • In the same msys shell, run 
make
