Requirements

In order to build on Windows the following tools should be installed:

  • Visual Studio. For a minimal install, the command line only build tools can be downloaded and installed from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017

  • Cmake

  • (optional) The OpenSSL library. Prebuild binaries can be downloaded from https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html . The full version is required (not the "Light" version). The Win32 version of it is usually required for a standard build.

    NOTE: in order to skip OpenSSL compilation, edit CMakeLists.txt and replace OPTION(N2N_OPTION_AES "USE AES" ON) with OPTION(N2N_OPTION_AES "USE AES" OFF)

    NOTE: to static link OpenSSL, add the -DOPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=true option to the cmake command

In order to run n2n:

  • The TAP drivers should be installed into the system. They can be installed from http://build.openvpn.net/downloads/releases (search for "tap-windows")

  • If OpenSSL has been linked dynamically, the corresponding .dll file should be available into the target computer

Build (CLI)

In order to build from the command line, open a terminal window and run the following commands:

md build
cd build
cmake ..

MSBuild edge.vcxproj /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release
MSBuild supernode.vcxproj /t:Build /p:Configuration=Release

NOTE: if cmake has problems finding the installed OpenSSL library, try to download the official cmake and invoke it with: "C:\Program Files\CMake\bin\cmake"

The compiled exe files should now be available under the Release directory.
