i know one can compile it manually, but i'm lazy....

Are you talking about installation through yum install or apt-get install?

So far, I've not found any of the distributions that are able to do this, at least through official repositories. Neither do I know of any unofficial repositories that have Softether package.

Therefore, you can only do installation through extraction and make install.

yes, thanks.

guess softEther developers not very interested in this... : (

I would worry if there are bugs coming from the compilers, it will be difficult or complicated to diagnose.

I mean compiling for different common Linux distributions allows the packages used by different users to be uniform as they are compiled with the same way together, like the one for Windows because they are already compiled by the developers so users are using the exactly the same executable as long as they keep updating their software, removing some factors of causing bugs that differ from each user.

of course when you build binary for other distros you use the distro itself to make the binary, you don't make a binary usnig slackware and expect it to run on debian.

that can be done some of the time but is obviously not the recommended way

individual packages of each distro are maintained by the distro guys themselves, there's someone responsible for the openssl master tree, and someone responsible for openssl at arch specifically at the arch distro, etc...

we are getting off-topic though.

I mean I want to have an exactly the same binary for each OS as others, like Fedora users should use the same binary obtaining from yum, avoid bugs coming from different compiling environments like different gcc versions.

Ditto.

I think best would be for SoftEther developers to take on this duty for the major distros. but it seems they're not interested, maybe bcs of japanese culture... : (
