INSTALL-WINDOWS

It is possible to compile BadVPN on Windows natively or to cross-compile from Linux
(but you need Windows to compile NSS).

Here are detailed instructions:

- Get a gcc compiler for compiling 32-bit Windows programs from the mingw-w64 project:

    - If you are compiling BadVPN from Linux:

        Download (for Linux x86_64)
            http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/sezero_20101003/mingw-w32-bin_x86_64-linux_20101003_sezero.tar.gz/download
        or (for Linux x86)
            http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/sezero_20101003/mingw-w32-bin_i686-linux_20101003_sezero.tar.gz/download .

        Extract it to /home/<user>/mingw so that you have /home/<user>/mingw/cross_win32.

    - If you are compiling BadVPN from Windows:

        Download
            http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/sezero_20101003/mingw-w32-bin_i686-mingw_20101003_sezero.zip/download .

        Extract it to c:\ and rename it from "mingw32" to "mingw" so that you have C:\mingw\bin.
        Be sure not to overwrite something. It really must be called "mingw" because cmake looks there.

- Create a folder where build dependencies will be stored. Make sure it doesn't have spaces in its path.
  Call it <root>.

- Build required libraries:

  - OpenSSL:
    - If you are compiling BadVPN from Linux:
      (This is for building OpenSSL with GCC. It is also possible to build it with MSVC from Windows; see below.)
      (This should also work in Windows under Cygwin with the Cygwin build of mingw-w64.)

      Download the OpenSSL source code. Extract it. Open a shell in the source dir. Run:

      $ export PATH="${PATH}":/home/<user>/mingw/cross_win32/bin
      $ perl Configure mingw --cross-compile-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32- --prefix=/ shared disable-capieng
      $ make depend
      $ make
      $ make INSTALL_PREFIX=<root> install

    - If you are compiling BadVPN from Windows:
      (This is for building OpenSSL with MSVC. It is also possible to build it with GCC from Linux or Cygwin; see above.)

      - Install "Windows SDK for Windows 7" (unless you have Visual Studio) and install at least the headers,
        libraries and compilers.

      - Install ActivePerl.

      - Download the OpenSSL source code.
        Extract is somewhere.

      - Open the SDK terminal (Programs -> Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 -> Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt).
        Enter the OpenSSL source folder.
        Run:

        > perl Configure VC-WIN32 --prefix=<root> no-asm
        > ms\do_ms
        > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
        > nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install

  - NSS:
    - You need to build it from Windows.

    - Install "Windows SDK for Windows 7" (unless you have Visual Studio) and install at least the headers,
      libraries and compilers.

    - Install MozillaBuild:
        http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/win32/MozillaBuildSetup-Latest.exe .

    - Download the NSS source code that includes NSPR. As of the time of writing the latest version is 3.12.8:
        https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_12_8_RTM/src/nss-3.12.8-with-nspr-4.8.6.tar.gz .

      Extract it to c:\ so that you have C:\mozilla .

    - Open the SDK terminal (Programs -> Microsoft Windows SDK v7.1 -> Windows SDK 7.1 Command Prompt) and run:

        > c:\mozilla-build\start-l10n.bat

      A new terminal opens. In that terminal, run:
      (here paths are written as /driveletter/...)

        $ export OS_TARGET=WINNT
        $ export BUILD_OPT=1
        $ cd <nss_source_dir>/mozilla/security/nss
        $ make nss_build_all
        $ <badvpn_source_dir>/scripts/copy_nss ../../dist <root>

      If you will be compiling BadVPN from Linux, use an empty folder for <root> in the above command,
      and copy its contents into <root> on the Linux system.

- Compile it:
  Choose a folder <dest> where the resulting binaries will be copied.

  - If you are compiling BadVPN from Linux:

    Copy <badvpn_source_dir>/scripts/toolchain.cmake to <root>/toolchain.cmake.

    Copy <badvpn_source_dir>/scripts/cmake to <root>/ .
    In that file, substitute <root> and <user>.

    Create an empty folder, call it <build>, and open a shell in that folder.
    Now run:

      $ <root>/cmake <path_to_badvpn_source> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<dest>
      $ make
      $ make install
      $ cp <root>/bin/*.dll <dest>/bin/

  - If you are compiling BadVPN from Windows:

    Install CMake if you don't have it already. Select the option to include cmake in PATH
    to avoid having to type a long command.

    Create an empty folder, call it <build>, and open a command prompt in that folder.
    Now run:

      > cmake <badvpn_source_dir> -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DCMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH=<root> -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<dest>
      > c:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe
      > c:\mingw\bin\mingw32-make.exe install
      > copy <root>\bin\*.dll <dest>\bin\

- Test it:

  Execute <dest>\bin\badvpn-server.exe (on Windows or with Wine). It should print something like this and wait forever:

    NOTICE(server): initializing BadVPN server <version>
    NOTICE(server): entering event loop
