Re: [Openvpn-users] How can I compile windows binaries in linux?

[Jenny L. <bod...@li...>]

I read management interface before, I read it now and I still don't see how it can do what i want to do. If you know a way, please guide me an I will happily follow.
 
On a side note, windows clients don't have perl installed and we cannot install it.
 
yum install mingw32-*
pico install-win32/settings.in
./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
make
 
Gave me a windows binary where password can be saved now.
 
Thank you.
