Created attachment 1098097 [details] Proposed Patch Description of problem: I realized that libgnutls-30.dll links to iconv.dll and libintl.dll which are not necessary, and in fact they only drag unneeded stuff. gnutls supports the windows UCS conversion functions thus iconv shouldn't be used. I attach a patch which reduces the dependencies without reducing functionality. I have not managed to remove libwinpthread.dll as a dependency even though gnutls doesn't use posix threads in windows, but rather uses the native threads.
If you're a packager, apply for co-maintainership for the package, then you'll be able to apply the fix yourself.
I am a packager but I don't want to get to maintain this package if that's what you mean.
Richard, Nikos, I've been primarily maintaining this package for a while and I can continue to do so. I will review the gnutls/p11-kit patches soon.
One other option I noticed is passing to configure the '--with-default-trust-store-pkcs11="pkcs11:model=p11-kit-trust;manufacturer=PKCS%2311%20Kit"' It is questionable whether it is needed. It will set p11-kit trust module the primary trust store for windows, but I have never seen a p11-kit trust module setup for windows. By default (if this option is not given) gnutls uses the windows trust store which is a much more reliable location for both wine and native windows programs to consult.
