Having trouble compiling v0.11.0

[ptschip]

Hello All,

I'm new here and just starting to compile versions.  I've successfully compile v9.4 and v10.2 but when I get to 11.0 I get the following error and
then my compile ends.

configure: WARNING: libjpeg not found. Assuming qt has it built-in
checking for main in -lpcre16 ... no

I'm running on Windows 7, 64 bit although I'm compiling as a 32 bit application using mingw32 and have all the correct dependencies I believe.

using the following script to configure

-I/c/deps/openssl-1.0.1l/include \

I've tried a few things and even recompiled v5.3.2 and v5.4.2 of Qt but none of those seem to be the problem.  I've gone into
the "configure" file and changed a few parameters but nothing seems to get me past this.

any help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated.

I got this to build on windows now by doing the following:


added this line to "configure.ac"

# This m4 will only be used if a system copy cannot be found. This is helpful
# on systems where autotools are installed but the pkg-config macros are not in
# a default location. It is currently used for building on OSX where autotools
# are preinstalled but pkg-config comes from macports or homebrew. It should
# probably be removed when building on <= 10.6 is no longer supported.
m4_include([pkg.m4])


and copied the  pkg.m4 file from the 10.2 build to the 11  /c/bitcoin folder


then run configure and make and it works fine.
