Hello, I am just in the process of rewriting the openvpn build system.
Some documentation is available[1]. In your case, as you build on Windows, cygwin environment is the appropriate environment. cygwin contains the new mingw toolchain from mingw-w64 (including 32bit). cygwin is maintain, while msys is long dead. Please try it out. Thanks, Alon Bar-Lev.
