  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. Ubuntu Linux.
  6. The executable is statically linked, so no extra DLLs are
  7. necessary. The linked libraries are:
  8. * gmp 6.3.0
  9. * expat 2.5.0
  10. * sqlite 3.43.1
  11. * zlib 1.3.1
  12. * c-ares 1.19.1
  13. * libssh2 1.11.0
  14. This build has the following difference from the original release:
  15. * 32bit version only: ``--disable-ipv6`` is enabled by default. (In
  16. other words, IPv6 support is disabled by default).
  17. Known Issues
  18. ------------
  19. * TLSv1.3 does not work.
  20. * --file-allocation=falloc uses SetFileValidData function to allocate
  21. disk space without filling zero. But it has security
  22. implications. Refer to
  23. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa365544%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
  24. for more details.
  25. * When Ctrl-C is pressed, aria2 shows "Shutdown sequence
  26. commencing... Press Ctrl-C again for emergency shutdown." But
  27. mingw32 build cannot handle second Ctrl-C properly. The second
  28. Ctrl-C just kills aria2 instantly without proper shutdown sequence
  29. and you may lose data. So don't press Ctrl-C twice.
  30. * --daemon option doesn't work.
  31. * 32bit version only: When ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given,
  32. BitTorrent DHT may not work properly.
  33. * 32bit version only: Most of the IPv6 functionality does not work
  34. even if ``--disable-ipv6=false`` is given.
