linux environment to show you how to prepare your windows computer to be able to compile 'almost' any coin wallet yourself. If you follow the directions you should be able to compile windows qt wallets from source on a windows computer in about 7 minutes or less after you prepare your system the first time. Before we get to the details and instructions a few things you should know first. This guide is broken into 4 parts. Preparing the build system. Compiling a basic wallet. Extra features to compile wallets and Possible errors and how to correct them. 1) I did not invent this process. I learned many things from many people including Shak3zulas original coin making guide and a person known only as Nitrogenetics. 2) These instructions are just a basic guide and should work well on versions of windows 8 and windows 7 although with 7 you may have trouble in secion 3 (extras). 3) When someone launches a coin without wallet you can make your own and start mining! 4) Do be careful: Even someone with experience can read the thousands of lines of code in a coins source and not spot a 'payload' or virus. Just because you compiled it yourself does not mean you are safe from malware. Use virus scanners, websites like virustotal.com and run unknown sources on separate machines or best in virtual machines for safety. 5) Don't be discouraged if it does not work on the first try. Some people with a lot of coding experience are unable to get this to work with directions while some other people with no or little experience can pull it on in a few tries ! Ok since this is geared toward a novice we will be using windows only except for a few sections described below that I have detailed exactly what commands to use so you can copy and paste them. Set aside up to an hour of time to do this properly. Section i - Preparing your build system I will list all the tools first and how to install them. Depending on your internet connection it may take a while to download some of them. If you have a 64 bit system install 64 bit versions If 32 go with those unless stated differently. Use the most current version unless stated differently. When installing some programs it will ask if you want to 'add to path' always answer yes. 1)Install 7z for windows from the homepage here http://www.7-zip.org/ 2)Install Perl for windows from the homepage http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads 3)Install Python from the homepage here https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/ 4)Install MinGW 4.6.2 This is more difficult. Their homepage is here http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys What we need is the msys 4.6.2 package but the last time I used the installer the version was 4.9. I will tell you now that I cannot get most coins to compile with 4.9 although it is used to build the 9.x codebase of bitcoin and anything cloned from that. Almost all alt coins are based on earlier/older codebases. So you have 3 choices. You can go to this page and follow the directions to install 4.6.2 from source. (may be difficult/on your own here) http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/gcc/Version4/gcc-4.6.2-1/ Choice two is to search the web for the self installing version of this program. Choice three is to download the version you need from this mirror here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-eDDHZG3n6dMV9mVU9FLTRLbmM/edit?usp=sharing If you went with choice three double click on it and it will install the necessary packages for you in a few minutes. Check the option to use preloaded repository catalogs and when it gets to the components page you can select all and next click install. It will create a folder on your c: (root) windows drive called Mingw. 5)Install Mingw gcc. Some people use version 4.8.2 with success which is here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/ The page of the project is here with directions for those so inclined http://www.mingw.org/wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW Personally I have the best results and STRONGLY recommend you use version 4.6.2 of this and get it mirrored here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-eDDHZG3n6dZ2szUHJrd2VlSDg/edit?usp=sharing Unzip that using 7z someplace and rename the folder from mingw to mingw32 and place it inside the mingw folder I mentioned earlier in step 4.

or some useful info that he had to update via "TARGET_OS=NATIVE_WINDOWS make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a" some stuff... and much much much more... this guide contains definatly to much text and miss a few things. basicly it would be better that you post the link to the guide and not copy and paste ^^ and i would bet a sixpack beer that he wouldnt be able to compile it after reading that guide Title: Re: need a Windows Wallet compiler Post by: alwinlinzee on October 16, 2016, 06:17:29 PM This post is written for someone who is not a coin developer or comfortable in a Thank you for this helpful posts, it is very helpful to newbie in window wallet compiling.linux environment to show you how to prepare your windows computer to be able to compile 'almost' any coin wallet yourself.
