For the minimalist embedded Linux system, it is possible to build a
static binary of the IP/ROHC client or server.

For Windows, well... the IP/ROHC code base doesn't support Windows at
all.

Yes, as you reported in your other email, you should use the --basedev
(or -b) option to specify the base network device for the tunnel.

What looks strange to me is that you said that didn't get the
"underlying interface name is mandatory" message in the logs. Could you
please check the logs again?

Note that next versions of IP/ROHC (not released yet) have a better
warning message that reads "wrong usage: underlying interface name is
mandatory, use the --basedev or -b option to specify it".

Regards,
Didier
