nishad.amit1986 simple point here don't even consider it. It currently classed Inactive projects.

Wine can be used for porting applications yes. But when it a case that number one its getting too long on the tooth and number to good enough other options exist.

Basically move on to a more cross platform project or something at least modern.

System things like VPNs are best done with native tools.

See for instance https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN

So what's the problem with Linux native version of OpenVPN? It's licensed under GPL so you can get code for it as well. Just be sure your "application" is licensed accordingly (GPL).

Number one the program you are looking at is not active.

https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... edProjects
www.openvpn.se is only one of the many front ends for openvpn.net basically if openvpn.se can connect so can the rest there.

Number 2 winegcc reason for existing is to make binarys that only work with wine. Ie something build by wine only works with wine.

For making windows binaries on Linux you are no longer talking wine but another project called mingw.

https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn is where you need to return to really.

If you cannot build the upto date core libraries of openvpn you are stuffed nishad.
