Actually, I cloned the "openvpn-build" Git repository and copied the directories from there on top OpenVPN sources (yours and official). That said, I tried the tarball, too: <https://github.com/downloads/alonbl/openvpn/openvpn-2.3-alpha1.tar.gz> I documented the basic process (compile from tarball) here: <https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingUsingGenericBuildsystem#MSBuild> I had some issues getting it to find openssl, lzo and pkcs11-helper include files. As a stop-gap solution I modified msvc-env.bat's last lines to look like this: set OPENVPN_DEPROOT=C:\Users\Samuli\openvpn-build set OPENSSL_HOME="%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\openssl" set LZO_HOME="%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\lzo" set PKCS11H_HOME="%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\pkcs11-helper" That layout is the same I used for the Python-based buildsystem. After this change OpenVPN built just fine, but it eventually failed due to not finding pkcs11-helper libs. That's fixable, I just didn't have time to do it right now. I'll continue tests later today or on Monday. Personally I won't miss any MSVC builds (pick your flavour) if we decide to get rid of them ;). Samuli
