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``. |

How to build using openvpn-build |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
The `OpenVPN cross-compile buildsystem |
|
<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build>`_ builds OpenVPN GUI along all the |
|
other OpenVPN dependencies. Instructions and automated scripts for setting up |
|
the buildsystem are available on the |
|
`Building OpenVPN using the generic buildsystem <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem>`_ |
|
page on the OpenVPN community Wiki.
