Title: Windows Build Environment
Post by: 0ni0ns on December 19, 2011, 01:55:11 AM
Is anyone willing to upload an updated build environment for windows with all the dependencies prebuilt? I'd like to try out a a couple patches but setting it all up is a pain. Should be easy if you regularly compile bitcoin since all you should have to do is zip it up.

   Download the QT Windows SDK (http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-windows-cpp) and install it. You don't need the Symbian stuff, just the desktop Qt.
    Download and extract the dependencies archive (https://download.visucore.com/bitcoin/qtgui_deps_1.zip), or compile openssl, boost and dbcxx yourself.
    Copy the contents of the folder "deps" to "X:\QtSDK\mingw", replace X:\ with the location where you installed the Qt SDK. Make sure that the contents of "deps\include" end up in the current "include" directory.
    Open the .pro file in QT creator and build as normal (ctrl-B)

works for me. just disable upnp and it should compile fine.
