Hi all, I did a number of MSVC build tests using Visual Studio 2010 Express. I tried both Git "master"[1] and Alon's openvpn-build repo[2].
I encountered a number of issues with [1]. First, unlike in [2], dependency fetching is not automatic - not sure if that's intentional, but it is/was a really nice feature. Due to this, "master"[1] did not build at all[3] without copying the build dependencies to a directory manually, and adding a "msvc-build-env-local.bat" to point the build to those: set OPENVPN_DEPROOT=c:\Users\Samuli\openvpn-build\build-deps-alon set OPENSSL_HOME=%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\openssl-1.0.0g set LZO_HOME=%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\lzo-2.06 set PKCS11H_HOME=%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\pkcs11-helper-1.10 set TAP_WINDOWS_HOME=%OPENVPN_DEPROOT%\tap-windows-9.9 This allowed the build to proceed, but then I got tons of errors. Those seem to be caused by Visual Studio 2010 peculiarities; see [4] for a partial log. The full error log is 1396k in size - If you need it just let me know.
