Build for Windows

To run ShadowVPN, You need to install the TUN/TAP driver first:

• For 32-bit Windows
• For 64-bit Windows

It's recommended to build ShadowVPN on Debian, since it's simple.

Build on Debian

Download a release and build.

apt-get install build-essential mingw-w64
./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32 --enable-static
make

You'll find shadowvpn.exe in src/.

Build on Windows

Download a release and build.

Currently only MinGW compilers are supported. You can compile in Msys or cross-compile in Cygwin with 32-bit or 64-bit MinGW toolchains.

For example, if using 64-bit Cygwin, install libtool, autoconf and mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ by Cygwin installer. Then Download a release and build. Build from Cygwin terminal by the following commands:

./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --enable-static
make && make install DESTDIR="$HOME/shadowvpn-build"

Executables will be generated in $HOME/shadowvpn-build.
