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``.
