Title: Compile cli not working
Post by: hoie6060 on September 09, 2016, 05:43:05 AM
I am trying to compile the latest Bitcoin source code for my own testing purpose.

The only changes I made was to make a simple name change, ie: change Bitcoin to Mycoin. Nothing else.

The compile process runs well, except that mycoin-cli executable is not working on Windows. Qt and tx are both working fine. But there was no compile error shown during the compile process for cli.

The mycoin-cli file size is abnormally small (only ~37Kb). And when I try to run it, it does nothing and also shows no error code.

I guess I should have replaced something wrongly when I make the simple name change. But I have no clue which part of the code I must keep no change to make the cli work.

Anyone can help, please?

You should show us the source code, preferably on Github with a commit so that we can see all of your changes.

Do it compile fine without the "simple name change"?  :-)

Of course it can compile without the change. :)

I already find out where I had replaced the code wrongly. There was a stupid typo in the file Makefile.am.

So I finally manage to compile mycoin-cli successfully.

Thanks for your comment anyway.  :)
