Title: HELP: How to compile Litecoin client, 0.3BTC donation Post by: GröBkAz on July 31, 2013, 12:38:36 PM Is there a good tutorial how to build the Litecoin qt client on windows? I can not believe how complicated it seems to compile a few files. :'(
Title: Re: compile Litecoin client Post by: GröBkAz on July 31, 2013, 09:22:08 PM I pay 0.3 BTC each person that successfully explains to me: how to build a litecoin-qt client on a windows system. ->From the first download up to the final "ctrl-B command" in the Qt Creator. Is it even possible to build a litecoin or bitcoin wallet with Qt 5.1.0 creator?
Title: Re: HELP: How to compile Litecoin client, 0.3BTC donation Post by: shakezula on July 31, 2013, 09:31:52 PM You don't want to do it in Qt creator. You want to install the command line bits and do it that way. Trust me, I tried for WEEKS to get this to work in the creator. I've made it exceedingly easy to compile for windows with this guide:
http://devtome.com/doku.php?id=scrypt_altcoin_cloning_guide#windows_-qt The list of things you should install (MinGW, QT Command-line, Perl) and links to them are in the guide. For the dependecnies, you can download my pre-compiled dependencies here: https://github.com/foocoin/deps/archive/master.zip The zip should be placed as c:\deps. Now, open your -qt.pro with Notepad or whatever, and replace this line: Code: DEFINES += QT_GUI BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB BOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE with this one: Code: DEFINES += QT_GUI BOOST_THREAD_USE_LIB BOOST_SPIRIT_THREADSAFE BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_GENERIC_SHARED_MUTEX_ON_WIN __NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES Its right at the top, very easy to find, 4th or 5th line down. Now right under that there will be a section that looks like this: Code: # Dependency library locations can be customized with: Replace that with this: Code: windows:LIBS += -lshlwapi Then you'll be able to do the "qmake" and "make -f Makefile.Release" as listed in the step by step guide. I'm happy to walk you through this in irc if you'd like, my BTC addy is in my sig.

I had the same problem like on the toutorial from nitrogenetics.

If you used m compilation deps, you can even leave the UPNP part off. Try this: qmake litecoin-qt.pro then ignore the errors about if this seems wrong blah blah. Then do: make -f Makefile.Release and your coins should build in to the release folder. :) Title: Re: HELP: How to compile Litecoin client, 0.3BTC donation Post by: Petr1fied on July 31, 2013, 11:33:33 PM don't work. :-( I had the same problem like on the toutorial from nitrogenetics.

That's why i just gave up trying and ask you nowadays. daemons, no problem, Windows QT urghhh.

Title: Re: HELP: How to compile Litecoin client, 0.3BTC donation Post by: Petr1fied on July 31, 2013, 11:48:36 PM This is where it breaks:

Though if you tried it with the BARCoin source, the -qt.pro should already have this I think...looking back through the threads I found this from you: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.msg2091689;topicseen#msg2091689 And it would show you don't have -D__NO_SYSTEM_INCLUDES or -D_BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_GENERIC_SHARED_MUTEX_ON_WIN in your compile. Try adding them to the -qt.pro or to the Makefile.Release directly and give it another compile?

I've found that as of now Qt 5.1.0 is incompatible. Title: Re: HELP: How to compile Litecoin client, 0.3BTC donation Post by: muddafudda on August 08, 2013, 07:18:41 AM I know this error. Hmm

Download EasyWinBuilder together with Bitcoin v0.8.3: https://github.com/phelixbtc/bitcoin/archive/0.8.3-EasyWinBuilder-v0.2.zip (all code is equal to v0.8.3, only the easywinbuilder folder is new - compare to Bitcoin v0.8.3, not to master) Simply double click __all_easywinbuilder.bat in the easywinbuilder folder and follow instructions. Readme: https://github.com/phelixbtc/bitcoin/blob/0.8.3-EasyWinBuilder-v0.2/easywinbuilder/README.md There is an almost identical Namecoin version here: https://github.com/phelixnmc/namecoin-qt It should also work with altcoins with a similar structure to Bitcoin, simply copy&paste the easywinbuilder folder and edit the coinname variable in set_vars.bat. Based on the build manual by nitrogenetics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0) and older manuals from others.
