Actually its the only way I've build the gui. Its well documented when done as a part of the full distribution build using openvpn-build (as Samuli pointed out), but could be built alone as well. Here is a very basic description of what I do: The only complication is you need openssl built for the target (windows) -- I have this cross-compiled from source and installed in $HOME/windows/ There are some tutorials out there on how to cross-compile openssl. Alternatively if change-password feature is not required, you don't need openssl at all to build the gui (see below) I work on Debian Jessie, have autoconf, automake etc and mingw-w64-x86-64-dev and mingw-w64-i686-dev installed Steps -- building for 64 bit windows Starting from a clone of this gui repo from github, do $ autoreconf -i -v run configure as $ OPENSSL_CRYPTO_CFLAGS="-I /home/selva/windows/include/ OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBS="-L/home/selva/windows/lib/ -lcrypto" ./configure --prefix=/ --libdir=//lib --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target= --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --program-prefix='' --sbindir=/bin (replace, /home/selva/windows by the location of openssl include and libs) If disable-change-password is ok, run configure as $ ./configure --prefix=/ --libdir=//lib --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target= --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --program-prefix='' --sbindir=/bin CFLAGS=-DDISABLE_CHANGE_PASSWORD OPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBS="-L./" $ make (optionally with -j n) That will build openvpn-gui.exe The exec can be easily installed manually but you can also make the installer as $ make installer (needs makensis in path) Selva
