How to build TorWall in Windows?

Hi,

I followed build instruction in README, when I run build.sh, the zip files got extract, but that's it, nothing else happens.

Would you explain more about build TorWall on Windows?

Only Linux cross compilation is "officially" supported. It might be possible to build on Windows using MSYS but I've never tried.

@basil00 would you turn on some lights about doing that?

BTW, this tool belong to Windows, I think you should support Windows officially, Linux users don't need TorWall ;)

Basically, you'll need to install MSYS, open a console, extract and goto the source directory, extract the necessary dependencies (WinDivert, Tor), then run make (& fix any make errors). Building the install exe requires nsis which may or may not be supported (I can't remember).

From experience, maintaining multiple build envs is a pain and I prefer Linux so that's what is "officially" supported. This doesn't affect most users who are happy to just d/l the pre-built exe.

Please rebuild and update version 1.2
