I would rather not have touched cryptoapi.c for rc16, but it wouldn't
build with MinGW 5.1.4 (the .h files in this version of MinGW define

of the same definition in cryptoapi.c). So I did try to work around
the
issue, but perhaps I broke something in the process.
It would be great if one of the developers that uses the crypto API
feature could take a look at it. We will certainly accept a patch
that
fixes any introduced breakage.
From my post:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_name=1239152310l.18482l.7l%40mofo
--------<snip>------------
One issue is that cryptoapi.c works around a
problem where CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey
is missing from MinGW. However, I've installed
the latest stable MinGW, 5.1.4, and the function
is now in MinGW. So, I tried commenting out the
#ifdef __MINGW32_VERSION hacks in cryptoapi.c.
This seems to have worked. (So far)
--------<snip>------------
The above works. In other words there's a bunch
of extra code in cryptoapi.c that no longer needs
to be there, at least with the latest MinGW.
To retain compatibility with older MinGW versions
the right thing to do is conditional compilation
based on the MinGW version, or maybe there's another
approach that would work better. I've not looked
at the code in a while.
Back when I was looking at getting OpenVPN
to compile under MinGW I might have sent a patch
to this list but
I've already sent 3 patches and gotten no feedback
whatsoever from anybody who seems to be a
maintainer so I don't really see the point in
trying to contribute.
