This link: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BuildingOpenVPN-GUI provides the following instructions:



$ autoreconf -v
$ ./configure --with-crypto-includes=/c/openssl/include --with-crypto-lib=/c/openssl/lib
$ make


As I'm new to Linux and Ubuntu, I would appreciate it if someone could show me the corresponding "sudo" commands. I understand that in Ubuntu, there's no such thing as a C: drive.



Thanks in advance.



----update----
Thank you guys for your help and suggestions. I know now that I don't need to sudo to issue the above commands.



I'd appreciate it if someone could explain to me what the "c" in "/c/openssl/include" and "/c/openssl/lib" stand for? Does "c" in those statements stand for the C: drive or C compiler?

The instructions can be used on Ubuntu (which, like the MinGW environment on Windows, uses bash as its shell) but you will have to change the paths to the include and lib directories. You execute them (without sudo) in a Terminal window after you have downloaded the source code, etc.
