Re: [Openvpn-devel] [PATCH 00/35] build revolution

[Athanasios D. <adu...@gm...>]

Indeed, now working for me too with those values. Thanks!

Maybe add that command to the README file? Also, the gentoo-derived script
should be yielding these values automatically, right? Because when I issue
a plain ./build I suspect that it does not. So the build breaks very early
in the process (in the openssl configuring phase if memory serves).
Invoking the gentoo script directly prints nothing too.

Additionally, you may want to add an option to wget to accept certificates
that it doesn't know. I understand this may be bad security-wise, but out
of the box it cannot download packages from github https. Apart from that,
wget works just as well.


Kind regards,
Athanasios
