openvpn2-2.0.9 Compiling for x86_64 leads to wrong behaviour

[wickedguitar6@…]

There is a bug which leads to wrong detection of the default_gateway (0.0.0.0) when the three following conditions apply: 1) openvpn2-2.0.9 is compiled with gcc-4.2 (the default on Mac OS X 10.6) 2) It is used as a client 3) 'push "redirect-gateway def1"' is used on the server side (e.g. a linux-box)

When the openvpn-2.0.9 is compiled with gcc-4.0 the bug does not occur. Default_gateway is detected correctly. However the gcc-4.0 compiler is not aware of the lzo2 library and openvpn must be configured with "--disable-lzo".

The problem seems to be irrelevant to the version of the gcc compiler used. However, it is relevant to whether the executable is compiled for "i386" or "x86_64" architecture. By default gcc-4.2 produces x86_64 executables and the gcc-4.0 i386 ones. When compiled as x86_64 executable it is unable to find the default_gateway on the system.

Is this still a problem with 2.1.1?

This problem still exists as of 2.2.0.

Stepping down for maintainership as I'm not using this anymore.
