[ANN] LiteBar (LTB) - Reborn

[Skyripper]

here is a link to darn near perfect, step by step instructions to setup a cross compiler on linux https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1080289.0

Never been able to compile on windows - tried for several weeks and gave up.

Thank you. I will try it.

Let me know if you have any problems, I might remember how to fix 'em.

p.s. I'll be on vacation next week, so it might be a little while before I can get back to you.

Hi, Spidersbox! Welcome back from your vacation!
I followed these instructions and got stuck in the last step. I have an error:

Code:

./compile-litebar.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.

export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH  -  does not help.

Any idea? Thanks.

[Spidersbox]

sorry for the delay - I went to work, and they actually made me work!

Anyway - below is a copy of my compile-litebar.sh

Code:

#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH
MXE_INCLUDE_PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include
MXE_LIB_PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/lib

i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt4 \
	BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mt \
	BOOST_THREAD_LIB_SUFFIX=_win32-mt \
	BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH=$MXE_INCLUDE_PATH/boost \
	BOOST_LIB_PATH=$MXE_LIB_PATH \
	OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH=$MXE_INCLUDE_PATH/openssl \
	OPENSSL_LIB_PATH=$MXE_LIB_PATH \
	BDB_INCLUDE_PATH=$MXE_INCLUDE_PATH \
	BDB_LIB_PATH=$MXE_LIB_PATH \
	MINIUPNPC_INCLUDE_PATH=$MXE_INCLUDE_PATH \
	MINIUPNPC_LIB_PATH=$MXE_LIB_PATH \
	QMAKE_LRELEASE=/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/qt/bin/lrelease litebar-qt.pro

make -f Makefile.Release

I setup my build environment over a year ago and things are a little fuzzy ...
Please note that I use qt4 -not qt5 and I don't remember why ...
( I assume you installed QT)

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

Code:

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

I've forgotten to do the export PATH a few times and got that error, which is why I put it in the compile script 

[Spidersbox]

just a little extra info:
My 'normal' build is in my home directory. when I want to make a windows wallet, I copy everything to the /mnt directory like in the instructions.
(Actually I push my changes to github from my home/myname/litebar directory, then pull to the /mnt/litebar directory)

I tried doing it all from the /mnt directory, but the file permissions and file owner settings didn't work well with github.

[Skyripper]

Anyway - below is a copy of my compile-litebar.sh

It helped. But during the compilation I got an error:

Code:

Can you also share a copy of your litebar-qt.pro file? Thanks.

[Spidersbox]

/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include/pthread.h:196:19: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef uintptr_t pthread_t'

Can you also share a copy of your litebar-qt.pro file? Thanks.

Oh ya, I remember that - I made a note in my mnt directory.
Litebar-error.txt

Code:

ERROR typedef void* pthread_t

/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include/pthread.h
// typedef uintptr_t pthread_t;
// remark it out for litebar

litebar already uses the variable pthread_t  so you have to remark out the typedef in the header file - line 196 on my system.
remember to un-remark it for other coins - you will know if you have to un-remark it out when you start getting errors like pthread_t is not declared

[Spidersbox]

/mnt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include/pthread.h:196:19: error: conflicting declaration 'typedef uintptr_t pthread_t'

Can you also share a copy of your litebar-qt.pro file? Thanks.

Hi, Spidersbox! What about the litebar daemon for Windows, is there also a script for it compilation?

I never tried making a litebard for windows, it's on my loooong list of things to look into, down around the bottom of the list 

If you figure it out, let me know too!

wow, somebody drove the difficulty up past 55, with a reported 20 Gh/s
Hope they transfer their litebars before they stop mining, 'cause the chain is going to stop dead for a while ...

why coin dead price?

why coin dead price?

Not really sure why.
Cryptsy's crash and burn probably had something to do with it, along with Litebar going a while without a dev.

I think most people are just mining and holding Litebar.
Me - I've been mining and buying Litebar while the prices are low.

[amount99]

it should be in question???

Litebar now has a tipping slot for one month at Cryptopia.
