Re: [Openvpn-devel] Help: build openvpn from source on windows

[Alon Bar-L. <alo...@gm...>]

I use my own build to build this [1].

The OpenVPN project should have long ago separate between a some
components for ease of use:

1. OpenVPN
2. OpenVPN Windows Service Wrapper
3. OpenVPN TAP driver
4. OpenVPN Windows Installer
5. Easy-RSA

This would have enable users to build specific component without the
other, or changing the installer without releasing a new version of
core product.
