Sorry for being frank, but I wouldn't want to trust a cryptographic application developed by somebody who has to ask a question like that... That said, you need to port the application to use Windows-specific APIs. I am certainly no cryptography expert, but I would suggest taking a look at APIs like CryptAcquireContext() and CryptGenRandom(). --tml ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url="">_______________________________________________ MinGW-users mailing list MinGW-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx You may change your MinGW Account Options or unsubscribe at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-users CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message, including any attachments, is for the use of the intended recipient(s) only and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and prohibited from unauthorized disclosure under applicable law.
