| @@ 0,0 1,65 @@ | |
| + | **NOTE:** this article is outdated. The "generic" and "windows-nsis" build systems have not been in use in years. They can still be found from depths of openvpn-build Git repository, but are not that useful. The only case where you might want to look at them is when you want to cross-compile OpenVPN or build NSIS packages of it using Linux or equivalent. |

| + | Look [here](/Pages/CodeRepositories) for details. |

| + | # Building natively on *NIX |
| + | |
| + | If building from Git sources, first do a |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | $ autoreconf -vi |
| + | ``` |
| + | |
| + | If building from a release tarball, you can skip the above step. To configure, build and install OpenVPN, use these commands: |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | $ ./configure <configure-options> |
| + | $ make |
| + | $ make install |
| + | ``` |
| + | |
| + | In most cases, you'd use something like this: |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | $ ./configure |
| + | ``` |
| + | |
| + | If you're using password authentication, you may be interested in support for password stored in (properly protected!) files: |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | $ ./configure --enable-password-save |
| + | ``` |
| + | |
| + | Or, if you want to use smart cards and such, you should use |
| + | |
| + | ``` |
| + | $ ./configure --enable-pkcs11 |
| + | ``` |

| + | # Cross-compiling on *NIX ("generic" subdir) |
| + | |
| + | Removed, only MSVC builds are currently supported. |
| + | |
| + | # Creating a NSIS installer ("windows-nsis" subdir) |
| + | |
| + | Removed, only MSI installer is currently supported. |
| + | |
| + | # Code-signing |
| + | |
| + | [SignTool](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa387764%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) is used to sign OpenVPN installer, libraries and executables.. Official OpenVPN releases will be signed with OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. code signing keys. However, it's fairly easy to build a custom version of OpenVPN and sign it with your own code-signing keys. |
