How to build SoftEther VPN for Windows
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
You need to install the following software to run a full release build of SoftEther VPN for Windows.
|
|
|
|
- Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 or later.
|
|
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with the latest SP (SP1 9.0.30729.4462 QFE).
|
|
Make sure that you installed the x64 compiler and build tools.
|
|
- Microsoft Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full Build Instructions
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The following steps will build all SoftEther VPN program files, and also build
|
|
the installer packages of SoftEther VPN. It is very easy.
|
|
|
|
1. Run the "BuildAll.cmd" batch file in the "src" directory.
|
|
2. Wait until the building process will complete.
|
|
3. The built files are stored on the "output" directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Partly Build, Debug, or Development Instructions on Visual Studio 2008
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you are a programmer, you can open the SoftEther VPN solution file
|
|
with Visual Studio 2008 to customize. Open "src\SEVPN.sln" and enjoy it.
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio 2008 is required as to maintain compatibility with Windows 9x, due to Visual C++ 2008 being the last version compatibile with Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.x binary linking.
|
|
|
|
- Visual Studio 2008's installer ISO can be found on Microsoft's site here: https://download.microsoft.com/download/E/8/E/E8EEB394-7F42-4963-A2D8-29559B738298/VS2008ExpressWithSP1ENUX1504728.iso
|
|
|
|
- The Microsoft Windows Driver Kit 7.1.0 can be found here: https://download.microsoft.com/download/4/A/2/4A25C7D5-EFBE-4182-B6A9-AE6850409A78/GRMWDK_EN_7600_1.ISO
|
|
|
|
If using anything else other than Visual Studio 2008 for development, your code **MUST** support Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 due to aforementioned reasons.
|
|
|
|
It is OK to add newer Visual Studio (2015, 2017) solution files to the project, but there then must be dual solution files for both Visual C++ 2008 and the latest Visual Studio.
|
|
|
|
Build and Development Instructions with Visual Studio 2017 & CMake
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
An alternative method for development of the SoftEtherVPN project on Windows is through CMake.
|
|
|
|
There are several methods for using CMake but the easiest by far is through Visual Studio 2017 by importing the CMake project directly
|
|
into it. So that is what will be described below.
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
|
|
1. Download Visual Studio 2017 (Community Edition is fine).
|
|
2. During install, make sure to check "Desktop development with C++" under "Workloads".
|
|
3. Click on individual components and scroll until you see "Visual C++ tools for CMake" under the compilers section. Make sure this is checked.
|
|
4. Continue scrolling down until you reach "SDKs, libraries, and frameworks". Under this tab you want to check to options:
|
|
1. Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64
|
|
2. Visual C++ MFC for x86 and x64
|
|
|
|
5. Proceed with and finish Visual Studio 2017 install.
|
|
6. Install the needed submodules to build the project, avoiding CMake telling you to do so with: `git submodule update --init --recursive`
|
|
|
|
Building:
|
|
|
|
Once both installs have finished, launch Visual Studio. Once its started go to the File menu click `Open --> CMake`. Then navigate to where you
|
|
cloned the project and open the `CMakeLists.txt` file in the projects root directory.
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio will proceed to start the CMake configuration process and once its finished, you can simply go to toolbar and click `CMake -> Build All`.
|
|
|
|
Once it has finished, hopefully with no errors, look in the newly created `/build` directory in the project's folder. Inside are the development versions
|
|
of all the SoftEtherVPN components.
|
|
|
|
Congrats, you now have a complete CMake development environment for SoftEtherVPN on Windows, enjoy and happy contributing!
