Hi Shachar,

The answer is actually in the archives.


Yes, I found it now.

Is there a way to make rsyncrypto portable the way it was up to the version
1.06? For me it is OK if I install it on my machine at home, but then I
would like to use it also at work where I have no admin rights to install it
properly. I try to copy the files from the folder where the rsyncrypto was
installed on my local machine, but this cause an execution errors.

I'm afraid that this is bit too much for my skills. I try to compile it
using a MinGW package, but it was not successful as it is requires lot of
dependent libraries. I try to compile it under Cygwin, but it is bit too
much to carry around on the USB stick justo to have the rsyncrypto.
