Short guide to installing proxytunnel

On most modern unix systems, use the normal Makefile, possibly uncommenting the section related to your system (darwin/cygwin/solaris/openbsd)

If you want to enable setproctitle functionality, add a CFLAGS define -DSETPROCTITLE (uncomment sample in Makefile)

to build simply run make and optionally make install. If you manually want to install, copy proxytunnel to /usr/local/bin and optionally the manual-page from the debian-subdirectory to your manpath

Nix Flakes

NOTE: The Nix Flake installation currently only supports the default Makefile flags (i.e. GNU system assumed + SSL enabled).

A simple Nix Flake is included to allow for use via flake inputs. To create a temporary Nix Shell with access to the proxytunnel binary, you can run the command:

nix develop github:proxytunnel/proxytunnel

If you instead want to include it as a flake input, the following flake.nix shows how to do so:

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    # Add proxytunnel as an input
    proxytunnel.url = "github:proxytunnel/proxytunnel";
  };

  outputs = {
    nixpkgs,
    proxytunnel,
    ...
  }: let
    system = "x86_64-linux";
    pkgs = import nixpkgs {system = "x86_64-linux";};
  in {
    devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell {
      buildInputs = [ 
        # Make the `proxytunnel` binary available in a Nix Shell
        proxytunnel.packages.${system}.default

        # And include any other packages as desired...
        pkgs.gcc
        pkgs.glibc.dev
      ];
    };
  };
}

msys2

To install msys2 with chocolatey:

C:\> choco install -y msys2

To switch to msys2 shell:

C:\> C:\\tools\\msys64\\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -no-start -msys2
me@mymachine MSYS ~

To install dependancy:

me@mymachine MSYS ~ pacman --sync --noconfirm --needed mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain gcc make openssl openssl-devel zip xmlto asciidoc

To build with msys2 :

me@mymachine MSYS ~ make

To build docs with msys2 :

me@mymachine MSYS ~ make docs

To use proxytunnel.exe from windows, copy msys and openssl dll to the same directory as proxytunnel.exe(use ldd cmd to see what dll are used by proxytunnel.exe) cmd:

me@mymachine MSYS ~ cp  /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll /usr/bin/msys-crypto-1.1.dll /usr/bin/msys-ssl-1.1.dll /usr/bin/msys-z.dll .

Cygwin :

Currently cygwin's openssl isn't in a compilable state, change md4.h and md5.h in /usr/include and replace 'size_t' with 'unsigned long'

To link the final executable: gcc -o proxytunnel *.o /lib/libcrypto.dll.a /lib/libssl.dll.a

To run, copy the required dll's from the cygwin-bin dir to the windows system dir, or the proxytunnel directory (cygcrypto-0.9.8.dll, cygssl-0.9.8.dll, cygwin1.dll )

Setproctitle doesn't work on cygwin (afaik)
