We got a Windows build computer now. I've heard from James that you need "Visual Studio Professional". "Standard" or "Express"(?) won't cut it. If you want to build the TAP driver you also need Windows Driver Kit (WDK). Of course you won't be able to sign the drivers with official OpenVPN key. Anyways, that's the extent of my knowledge for now. Eventually I'll write instructions on how to compile OpenVPN on Windows to our wiki:
<https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki> This will take some time, so please don't hold your breath :). As Gert said, you can also cross-compile on *NIX, which I guess is easier for now. -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock
