***********************************

Extra README file for Win32 related stuff



== Building on Windows:
You need:
	MinGW, MSYS, GCC, zlib

Then just run make


== Cross-compiling for MinGW:
You need:
	MinGW crosscompiler, crosscompiled zlib

Then run "make cross-mingw"
Note that the binaries will not get a .exe suffix

You can get zlib for MinGW here (both for native and crosscompile):
http://code.kryo.se/iodine/deps/zlib.zip
Unzip it in your MinGW directory on Windows or in $ROOT/usr for
cross-compile.

== Running iodine on Windows:
Get the TAP32 driver here (choose OpenVPN 2.0.9 Windows Installer,
you can choose to get only the driver):
http://openvpn.net/index.php/downloads.html 

The following fixable limitations apply:
- The password is shown when entered
- DNS server IP can not be fetched automatically
- Exactly one TAP32 interface must be installed
- The TAP32 interface must be named "dns" and be version 0801
- Server cannot read packet destination address
- Server must be run with /30 netmask (really?)

The following (probably) un-fixable limitations apply:
- Priviligies cannot be dropped
- chroot() cannot be used
- Detaching from terminal not possible
