Sorry, I probably have to state it more clear in email - I have prepared
patch to openvpn-build as well,
see https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-build/pull/137 The new version
should be usable out of the box.

I don't think you need autoconf or anything besides VS2017 and ActiveState
Perl. Certainly you
are not supposed to copy or edit files manually. Here is build log from
AppVeyor:

We should sort it out. To build with VS you are only supposed to

1) clone openvpn-build
2) run msvc/build.bat
3) (optionally) open msvc/build.tmp/openvpn-master/openvpn.sln with Visual
Studio IDE and enjoy coding

Would have been nice to add Windows 10 ARM64 support, but remembered

Can TAP driver be compiled for ARM64?

With this and openvpn-build patch I was able to debug (run and attach to
process) both openvpn and openvpnserv.exe
