When I say painful builds, I mean edit build[*], copy to Windows, run in a few configurations, look through the event viewer, rinse rather repeat. And finally when it seems to start working connect to a my work VPN, remove the registry keys and try to break it etc.. FYI, I don't just "test compile", and leave it at that. Selva [*] Yes, that fetch-all and rebuild from scratch part of openvpn-build is very time consuming. Making it work the usual "remake only what changed" way would save a lot of time and frustration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
