Here's a copy of my Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit VMware Image for anyone that wants it. You will need atleast VMware 10 installed.

Morning,

I decided to give this a try since I'm new to the whole bitcoin / altcoin scene. This is the error I am getting when I try to compile, and I didnt see a Makefile.Release...

Code:

[build]     qtxlsxwriter         i686-w64-mingw32.static                        
[done]      qtxlsxwriter         i686-w64-mingw32.static                                    156204 KiB     0m57.310s
[no-build]  qt5                  i686-w64-mingw32.static
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./compile-blk.sh: line 6: i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

Which step am I missing?

I am compiling this using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64

Verify that your PATH env var contains the correct location for mxe

Code:

export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH

Hello.  Having some fun testing our making a QT file.  I'm having the same issue as the other person.  What exactly do I have to correct?  The "export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" or a line in compile-m.sh?

I followed your instructions to a tee and all the files are in the same place as yours.  I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu.  I get the same error as the user above.

Thanks for your help!  Guide is excellent.

I cleared up the path issue, but now I'm getting this error when I compile blackcoin:

Code:

/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/lib/libdb_cxx.a(os_pid.o):os_pid.c:(.text+0x25): undefined reference to `pthread_self'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile.Release:468: recipe for target 'release/blackcoin-qt.exe' failed
make: *** [release/blackcoin-qt.exe] Error 1

[lulzyou]

Code:

libtool: link: /mnt/mxe/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc -O3 -o db_archive db_archive.o util_sig.o  libdb-5.3.a
libdb-5.3.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [db_archive] Error 1

I encounter this problem. anyone know how to solve?

Just add the "RANLIB=...." as shown below:

#!/bin/bash
MXE_PATH=/mnt/mxe
sed -i "s/WinIoCtl.h/winioctl.h/g" src/dbinc/win_db.h
mkdir build_mxe
cd build_mxe

RANLIB=$MXE_PATH/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-ranlib \
      CC=$MXE_PATH/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-gcc \
      CXX=$MXE_PATH/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-g++ \
      ../dist/configure \
      --disable-replication \
      --enable-mingw \
      --enable-cxx \
      --host x86 \
      --prefix=$MXE_PATH/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static

make

make install

I'm having a similar issue but its this

/src/leveldb/libmemenv.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

im assuming its another place in the compile, but im trying to add ranlib in both compiles and still no luck. an suggestions (sorry for digging up an old thread, but its the only one that makes sense, and im still downloading the amazon image hendo420 has.

thank you

This is a very useful tutorial. Thank you for sharing it. Will do some learning with it.

[luke9511]

first i want to say very good guide and thanks for it aswell! but i am having an issue when i try to run the compile-blk.sh file i get the following error

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 5: blackcoin-qt.pro: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

i dont know what else to do i am stuck does anyone have any advice?

Something is most likely named incorrectly. Check all spelling matches

i have checked everything, i didnt even type any of the commands i copied and pasted them all i also checked my path environment variable to make sure it was correct and it is, i dont know what else there is

EDIT new error which i think may have the same thing to do with the first

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 6: i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5: command not found

Thank you for the share, it is pure gold, i have been trying and i have could compile three altcoins wallets without problems, i have only a question about if it is possible to have installed qt4 and qt 5 and not have problems with compilation.
Have you tried it?

thanks again

[luke9511]

i kinda got this working though there is no Makefile.Release any where, but if i delete the .Release part it compiles fine but it compiles for linux instead of windows

[Nthused]

Random question but could you do this on a VM server with exceeded specs ?

[AliceWonderMiscreations]

I wish Linux tutorials would stop assuming Ubuntu and start specifying the upstream product name that is needed rather than a sudo apt-get line.

Weird that dependencies like bash and perl and sed are listed there.

Are they not standard in Ubuntu?

[zeitman007]

Im having trouble with the command not found error.  Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 6: i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

I have ran the export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH command many times, that should be where mxe is since I followed the tutorial to a T.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

I'm having this problem also.

Has anyone solved it yet.

All $PATH are correct.

Thanks

Same issue...

I tried compiling with BDB versions 5.3.28; 6.0.35; and 6.1.29 (http://wwupw.oracle.com/technetwork/database/database-technologies/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html)

when the compile-db.sh gets to the make command the following errors occur:

Missing files: (there are multiple of these)

Code:

Makefile:2265: recipe for target 'mut_win32.o' failed
make: *** [mut_win32.o] Error 1

seems this win_db.h has a lot of missing files referenced. and if i comment out the "missing" files on the #include lines, there's another error that comes up.

So any assistance with compiling the Berkeley DB would be appreciated. thanks

Assistance please.

Also I did do:

[nemgun]

first i want to say very good guide and thanks for it aswell! but i am having an issue when i try to run the compile-blk.sh file i get the following error

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 5: blackcoin-qt.pro: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

i dont know what else to do i am stuck does anyone have any advice?

Same issue...  

simply check path variables using root ==> sudo su (enter password )
                                                   ==> export
you will get a list of variables, PATH= will be there, if there is no /mnt/mxe/usr/bin:

then do under root acces ==> export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH

and then retry compile

and if you ever do it for the first time i think it also works with ==> sudo export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH
but still need to test.

Here's a copy of my Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit VMware Image for anyone that wants it. You will need atleast VMware 10 installed.

It should be a big help to anyone that is having problems following this guide.

The user password is Password1

The root password is Password1

There are instructions on the desktop for anyone that needs them.

This doesn't work for me, I get "i686-w64-mingw32.static-g++: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault" error 4
doesn't make any sense

I'm used to building daemon, can't build qt for anything very frustrating.
