How to build using Cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin provides ports of many GNU/Linux tools and a POSIX API layer. This is
|
|
|
|
|
the most complete way to get the GNU/Linux terminal feel under Windows.
|
|
|
|
|
Cygwin has a setup that helps you install all the tools you need.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to build openvpn-gui using Cygwin. It cross-compiles
|
|
|
|
|
a native Windows executable, using the MinGW-w64 compilers that are available
|
|
|
|
|
as packages in the Cygwin repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required packages
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build openvpn-gui you need to have these packages installed, including
|
|
|
|
|
their dependencies. You can install these packages using the standard
|
|
|
|
|
``setup.exe`` of Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
- automake
|
|
|
|
|
- pkg-config
|
|
|
|
|
- make
|
|
|
|
|
- mingw64-x86_64-gcc-core
|
|
|
|
|
- mingw64-x86_64-openssl
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Build
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To build use these commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
autoreconf -iv
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
32-bit or 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above describes how to build the 64-bit version of openvpn-gui. If you
|
|
|
|
|
want to build the 32-bit version, simply replace ``x86_64`` with ``i686``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both 32-bit and 64-bit version of Cygwin can build the 32-bit and 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
version of ``openvpn-gui.exe``. Just install the packages you need and use
|
|
|
|
|
the right ``--host`` option.

How to build using MSYS2
|
|
|
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One-time preperation
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Install MSYS2. Instructions and prerequisites can be found on the official website: https://msys2.github.io/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once installed use the ``mingw64.exe`` provided by MSYS2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update the base MSYS2 system until no further updates are available using:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pacman -Syu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may have to restart your MINGW64 prompt between those updates.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now install the required development packages:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pacman -S base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-{toolchain,openssl}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can build using these commands:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

autoreconf -iv
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
32-bit or 64-bit
|
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The above describes how to build the 64-bit version of openvpn-gui.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the 32-bit version, use the ``mingw32.exe`` and in the package names simply replace ``x86_64`` with ``i686``.
