[HOWTO] compile altcoin for windows on linux using mxe and mingw

[D3m0nKinGx]

I am trying to compile Blackcoin, following exactly everything from the OP;

Code:

a@a-VirtualBox:/mnt/blackcoin$ sudo ./compile-blk.sh
./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.

a@a-VirtualBox:/mnt/blackcoin$ echo $PATH
/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin‌​:/bin

How do I fix this ?

i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5

it's saying this command is missing do a search for it if it's missing your mxe installation is broken

[nemgun]

anyone found a way for this ?

Use this  ==> https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/ZhOxZQQzji8FpQvuV9b86DqJg6IGpIXmlXFyG5o2X8h?ref_=cd_ph_share_link_copy

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.

There is a problem, i tried to do this many time and i always ended with different issues, so i came up to the conclusion that due to MXE's updates, the paths/scripts must be fixed.
So either change the scripts, or download this VM (i used it) and compile it from there. You just have to export path and then run compile script. Instructions are provided in the desktop.

I'm getting this

Code:

in file included from src/netbase.h:10:0,
                 from src/qt/optionsdialog.cpp:6:
src/serialize.h:19:48: fatal error: boost/type_traits/is_fundamental.hpp: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I have  libboost-dev all installed under root/usr/include/boost this is crazy because I have compiled for Linux earlier

i tried to find boost in the mxe and i think the script thinks its here  /mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include  am I right?  doi just copy boost there??  im using an ubuntu server on digital ocean with node if that means anything.  I'm trying to copy over now plus I am dl the VM to see if I have better luck.

today was the first time I have been able to compile Berkeley DB ever and I have been trying for a long time. I think it was part this thread and part the education I have been receiving THAT FINALLY MAKES THIS STUFF SOUND LIKE ENGLISH.\


fixed  needed to set PATH

[nomadsena]

when i run

Code:

./compile-db.sh

 

i m getting this error

Code:

configure: error: in `/home/nomad/mnt/db-5.3.28/build_mxe':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.

some one please help
or is there any updated guides on how to compile an alt coin wallet

i'm having trouble with building a coin using secp256k1

Code:

libsecp256k1_la-secp256k1.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized

generally it seems like i have success with secp256k1 but it is not recognized on qt build.

i've tried a variety of things including

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static
make

fails on qt build

and

Code:

./configure --host=i686-w64-mingw32.static --prefix=/home/mxe/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static --enable-static --disable-shared

gives error during configure

Code:

./configure: line 12234: SECP_64BIT_ASM_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12263: SECP_INT128_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12291: SECP_INT128_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12316: SECP_GMP_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12422: SECP_OPENSSL_CHECK: command not found

also fails on qt build



any assistance would be welcomed

[bumbacoin]

after more fruitless searching,
i'm guessing it's to do with the age of secp256k1 (looks like early 2015).

will have to try a different coin with more recent version.

[gjhiggins]

gives error during configure

Code:

./configure: line 12234: SECP_64BIT_ASM_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12263: SECP_INT128_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12291: SECP_INT128_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12316: SECP_GMP_CHECK: command not found
./configure: line 12422: SECP_OPENSSL_CHECK: command not found

The messages suggests that autoconf isn't finding the relevant m4 macros which suggests there's a missing file or an existing file has missing stanzas. Cross-referencing the m4 contents with those of a successfully-compiling coin of similar vintage and configuration might help you fill in the missing bits.

Does anyone know how to resolve this error?  The coin I'm working from uses secp256k which I noticed earlier someone stated is a bit older. 

Code:

/mnt/mxe/usr/bin/i686-w64-mingw32.static-ld: cannot find -lsecp256k1
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

[Enkrypto_Storm]

It's kind of funny that the file you named your username after no longer exist in the Bitcoin source code. Ever since main.h and main.cpp were sort of replaced (I guess?) by chainparams.cpp/chainparams.h, I don't think anyone's written a decent guide on how to fork Bitcoin to make an altcoin for fun.

I'm getting:

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.

Made sure I did:

Code:

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

Using ubuntu/bash for windows 10

[gjhiggins]

./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.

That's a needed executable. Find it, add its directory to $PATH.

Installed or not, the libraries aren't being found by the build process, looks like you need to tend to your environment variable bindings.

Ok, i almost understand what must to do.

Use your computer's search facility to find where the boost libraries were installed.
