Hello all, As the title states I need some help Compiling a Windows wallet on a Windows OS.

I have downloaded, extracted & built all the dependencies to C:\deps & am using Qt 4.8.6 which is located here C:\Qt\4.8.6

BTW I've also done the environment path change.

Everything went smoothly until it came time to edit the .pro file & compile.

Here is what is happening when trying to compile the Windows Qt....

I have tried a different source and still the same thing :-\

Funnily enough I am looking for the same advice, I had been trying to get it to build after doing the whole dependencies and PATH thing.

But I gave up after some hours and being tired.

If someone could point either of us in the right direction it would probably help each of us out.

Not entirely sure, but it looks like you have some /'s where they should be \ 


i could be totally wrong and if so just disregard.

Sorry but that is not the case, thanks for trying to help though ;)

It says you're missing lrelease.exe in
C:\Qt\4.8.6\bin

It's location is specified in the .pro file

 win32:QMAKE_LRELEASE = $$[QT_INSTALL_BINS]\\lrelease.exe

If it's altogether missing, try reinstalling QT.

Hmmm I'll try that next time I give it a go as I've uninstalled everything ATM as it was causing me angst, I even tried to use the automatic EasyWinBuilder for the standard Bitcoin client & it errors on a newer build of QT & exits because it can't install it maybe because zip was corrupt but I have tried it on numerous occasions with the same result.

I might try a different version of QT to see if that gets it working when messing around with it again.

I think it might just be easier to setup a Linux VM & then install dependencies, etc & compile a Windows Qt that way, but this will be my first time using Linux.... :D

Yes indeed, setting up a system with Ubuntu you will be able to achieve this.
