Some download URLs are invalid, so appropriate replacements must be found. With pkcs11-helper, I had to copy an older zip from an older build of mine. Trying to get the current zip file from alon's or opensc repo on github yields the error: NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'versioninfo.res' Correct me if I'm wrong, but to produce the versioninfo.res file one would need the versioninfo.rc file. But unfortunately the versioninfo.rc file is not here: https://github.com/alonbl/pkcs11-helper/tree/pkcs11-helper-1.09/lib There is the versioninfo.rc.in file in the same place, but the build requirements are Perl and VS10, so automake is not going to be available right? After that it should be smooth sailing from there, apart form the fact that the source for openvpn 2.3 contains 2 places where c99-ish C is used. But you already know that.
