tcptunnel

Tcptunnel is a simple TCP port forwarder. Please see http://www.vakuumverpackt.de/tcptunnel/ for full details.

Building

For Unix

$ git clone https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel.git
$ cd tcptunnel
$ ./configure
$ make
$ ./tcptunnel --version
$ ./tcptunnel --help

For Windows (MinGW32)

You will need MinGW32 to cross-compile tcptunnel. Please see http://www.mingw.org/ for more details. If you are using a Debian-based distribution then you will need to install the following packages:

• mingw32
• mingw32-binutils
• mingw32-runtime

$ apt-get install mingw32 mingw32-binutils mingw32-runtime
$ git clone https://github.com/vakuum/tcptunnel.git
$ cd tcptunnel
$ ./configure
$ make -f Makefile.MinGW32
$ file tcptunnel.exe
tcptunnel.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows

Note: The MinGW32-based version does not support the fork-based concurrent client handling. If you need this feature under Windows, then you should use the Cygwin-based version.

For Windows (Cygwin)

You will need the Cygwin environment for Windows from http://www.cygwin.com/ with the following additional packages installed:

• gcc
• git
• make

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 computer 1.7.17(0.262/5/3) 2012-10-19 14:39 i686 Cygwin
