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-g++
- 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.
