Which variables do you want to automatically fill in?

Can you show me what you modifies exactly?

I don't know Dev-CPP. You should try compiling it by starting a MinGW
shell and type:

cd tinc-1.0.5
./configure
make

You might need to add extra options to ./configure for it to be able to
find the OpenSSL, zlib and LZO libraries.

I have no idea how you should do that...
