Hello Samuli, I was out, reducing my backlog.

The openvpn repository builds openvpn using autotools or vc, there is no difference between the two, both do not build dependencies. > but it is/was a really nice feature.

I don't quite understand who you tried to build this... manually or using the openvpn-build/msvc. If you try to build manually, please send me the exact commands you used. > > Samuli > > [1] <git://openvpn.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/openvpn/openvpn.git> > [2] <https://github.com/alonbl/openvpn-build.git> > [3] <http://pastie.org/3780063> > [4] <http://pastie.org/3780024> Thanks!
