IIUC, that should be fixable by configuring gnupg with --disable-libdns.


Yes, below is the message that I sent to Marco but which was rejected by this list because I wasn't subscribed at the time that I replied to all.

Any suggestion on how to solve the absence of /etc/resolv.conf ?
I doubt  gnupg2 is the proper package to do so.


Looking into this, I'm reminded of how much I really dislike the design of gnupg2.

dirmngr appears to have its own DNS client library that tries to do the resolv.conf parsing among other things. I believe this library gets compiled into the current cygwin package.

I noticed this configuration option:
  --disable-libdns        do not build with libdns support

I just tested a build using this option and it seemed to fix the problem for me.

I did not use the full end-to-end cygport process but I think the patch at the bottom of this message should do the trick. Could you give it a shot?

Thanks...
