#32 crosscompile openvpn-gui

[Bowie Frisch]

Hi Heiko

I refer to the latest versions of configure.ac (2013-04-12) and options.h (2013-04-25).

After issuing the command make, the following error message popped up:

make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/johndoe/openvpn-gui-3'

^

I would appreciate it if you could fix the bug(s).

Thanks in advance.

This looks like you have to generate configure again. If that doesn't work you may want to try with the v4 tarball again. I assume patching v3 went wrong then.

Hi Heiko

Thanks for your reply.

I downloaded openvpn-gui-4.tar.gz and when I tried to "make", below are the errors:

user@openvpn:~$ sudo su
[sudo] password for user:
root@openvpn:/home/user# cd /home/user/Downloads/openvpn-gui-4

Heiko, could you tell me what has gone wrong, please?

[Heiko Hund]

DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/opt/openssl/include -D_UNICODE -DWIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
-D_WIN32_WINNT=NTDDI_WINXP -i res/openvpn-gui-res.rc -o openvpn-gui-res.o
/bin/bash: DHAVE_CONFIG_H: command not found

There's your problem.

No idea why the ressource compiler was not called correctly but that's why
openvpn-gui-res.o is not produced. Was windres found by configure?

[Bowie Frisch]

In "Makefile", I edited the following line to:

WINDRES = /opt/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres

and in CFLAGS, I appended -L/opt/mingw64/lib

Did I do it correctly?

Once again thanks in advance for your help.

I attach a file in plaintext containing the details of "make".

Your help would be much appreciated.

[Heiko Hund]

you need to run ./configure with the --host argument set to the host triple for the platform you are cross-compiling the GUI for. In my case (cygwin) this is:

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32

followed by all the other configure options I use.

[Bowie Frisch]

Below is the command that I have been using since the day the options.h file was amended, 2013-04-12:

./configure MAX_CONFIGS=350 --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --prefix=/opt/openvpn CC=/opt/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig

[Heiko Hund]

You could link to x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres from /usr/bin so configure find it. Maybe that helps.

[Bowie Frisch]

Hi Heiko,

Thanks for your tip but I still got the same result.

I hope you wouldn't mind me suggesting this: you would be a great help if you could create a Windows installer for your fans (I am one of them) with a MAX_CONFIGS=400 or 500 based on your most recent version 4 tarball.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: There was a post on OpenVPN.net forum last year in which a request was made for OpenVPN-GUI to handle 500 ovpn files.
