Re: OpenVPN static binary

[Francesco Talarico <f.talarico99@gmail.com>]

Hello James.

I need to run OpenVPN on an embedded device running OpenWRT.

But I need to cross-compile OpenVPN with a specific .configure switch ("--enable-pkcs11").

Doing it from the OpenWRT SDK doesn't work for missing pkcs11-helper dependency.

So my last resort is to bundle all necessary includes!

Hope you can help me with this puzzle.

Thank you very much,

Francesco Talarico

Why do you want to do this? What are you planning on running it on?

Only Debian Developers can login to that machine.

If you have access to a mips machine running Debian, you might be able
to build it if you hack openvpn's debian/rules file a bit. You could use
QEMU to build it. I put some images here:
