Hi dear sequoia-pgp team,
After promoting sequoia-pgp in some communities I already received a second request from Windows users for a download link for sequoia-pgp, for Windows.
While I usually compile sq.exe myself with MinGW I would like to see an official link from your site, so that interested Windows users can learn sq.exe.
In case this would be possible, please not compiled in debug mode. I ask, because I have seen now Mr. Zimmermann in the testimonials and I guess when I further promote sequoia-pgp for Windows users, It could give sq.exe a boost, when seen on your site.
Best regards Stefan

Maintaining binaries is a lot of work. Unfortunately, we have neither the resources nor the expertise (none of us use Windows).
I don't think MinGW is required. If the users have MSVC, they can follow these instructions:

Another possibility would be to get sequoia into msys2:
Are either of these approaches enough?

Hi Neal,
for me this is no problem, but I only suggested this for the average Windows user, whishing to learn sq.exe, because it occured to me that a lot of Windows users do not know how to do that themselves, regardless of what compiling option is used.
Best regards Stefan
