Changes to Windows build system: added GENOUT_PREBUILT mode
to allow building an OpenVPN installer with a reduced set of prerequisites. See comments in domake-win for more info. git-svn-id: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21/openvpn@2711 e7ae566f-a301-0410-adde-c780ea21d3b5

+# SPECIAL NOTES ON PRE-BUILT MODE
+# Setting up a complete tool chain to build OpenVPN and all
+# dependencies on Windows can be an onerous task, so the capability
+# is provided to reference a directory of pre-built components during
+# the build process. This would allow you, for example, to build an
+# OpenVPN installer with custom edits to install-win32/settings.in,
+# but then avoid needing to build all other components (such as OpenSSL,
+# LZO, Pkcs11-helper, TAP driver windows service, etc.). The procedure
+# is as follows. First Download and expand the pre-built binaries from:
+#
+# http://openvpn.net/beta/windows-devel/ (choose the most recent .tbz file)
+#
+# After expanding the .tbz file, cd to the top level directory and
+# expand an OpenVPN source distribution taken from either the subversion
+# repository or a source .tar.gz file. It's best to use an OpenVPN source
+# version that is the same or slightly later than the pre-built binaries
+# file. So now you have a directory containing something that looks like
+# this:
+#
+# gen-prebuilt -> from prebuilt .tbz file
+# lzo-2.02 -> from prebuilt .tbz file
+# openssl-0.9.7m -> from prebuilt .tbz file
+# pkcs11-helper -> from prebuilt .tbz file
+# openvpn-2.1_rc7a.tar.gz -> downloaded from openvpn.net
+# openvpn-2.1_rc7a -> directory expanded from above file
+#
+# Now cd to your expanded source tree (openvpn-2.1_rc7a in the
+# example above), make edits to install-win32/settings.in (or even
+# patch the OpenVPN source code directly), and run this script:
+#
+# ./domake-win
+#
+# If everything runs correctly, you should have a custom installer
+# written to ./gen/install
+
+
+
+# First build the autodefs directory, containing C, sh, and NSIS versions
# of global settings, using install-win32/settings.in as source.
# These settings will then drive the rest of the build process.
