Tunnelblick is still being built on OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.2.2 because it still supports PowerPC, which later versions of Xcode (which are required for use on 10.7+) don't support. (For simplicity, Tunnelblick and its dependencies are all built as a single Xcode project. Tunnelblick usually includes at least two or three versions of OpenVPN, and lets the user select which version they want to use with a couple of clicks, but of course it is limited to the versions that we can build!) I doubt that the issues are in OpenVPN itself, or its build system. I think I couldn't get it working because of my unfamiliarity with make and the toolset that is required to build OpenVPN. As I remember: - The problems happen for 2.3alpha2 but not 2.3alpha1, and I finally figured out they were triggered not by the major build-system changes, but by the initial patch that added PolarSSL. - The problems were in getting openvpn to static link with lzo and openssl. (There may have been a similar issue with pkcs11-helper, but it is broken in Tunnelblick and I later found out that it shouldn't be static linked, so that wasn't a major concern.) Harold Molina-Bulla has taken over the effort to get Tunnelblick building with OpenVPN 2.3. I've added him as a cc: to this thread.
