Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows

[ChompStory]

guys if anyone could help ill tip you btc

im still getting the following error, what is this lrelease.exe?, im trying to compile litecoin 0.8.7.5 source

Hey guys, I've followed all the steps and still stuck on something related to the Berkeley DB.

When I run configure it says:

"checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no"
"configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing"

Also, was wondering in the instructions, in the Berkeley DB part, why are we building under "build_unix", rather than "build_windows"?

Thanks.

Are you including the correct bdb folder when configuring? Did bdb compile fine?
Since we are compiling on a "unix like" system (msys) we build under build_unix. build_windows assumes you are building on visual studio.

yes, its all installed and configured. heres a screenshot of that folder, the file lrelease.exe doesent seem to exist?

Did you compile qt 4.8.6 from source? See "Compile bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 with Qt 4.8" on first post.

In step 2.4  miniupnpc-1.9.20150206.tar.gz does not include miniupnpcstrings.h and it looks for this file on make. So You have to create the file and put in something like:

Code:

/* $Id: miniupnpcstrings.h,v 1.3 2009/06/04 09:05:56 nanard Exp $ */
/* Project: miniupnp
 * http://miniupnp.free.fr/ or http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/
 * Author: Thomas Bernard
 * Copyright (c) 2005-2009 Thomas Bernard

#ifndef __MINIUPNPCSTRINGS_H__
#define __MINIUPNPCSTRINGS_H__

#define OS_STRING "OpenBSD/4.3"
#define MINIUPNPC_VERSION_STRING "1.3"

#endif

miniupnpcstrings.h will be automatically generated when compiling from cmd on windows as specified at step 2.4. You will need to manually create it if compiling from msys (or when crosscompiling on linux for windows, if I remember correctly).

I also had a nasty error that said that it couldn't find the entry point of a throw exception in libstdc++-6.dll in both the QT compilation and the protobuf compilation. I found that I had to delete libstdc++.dll inside of C:\mingw32\lib\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.9.2 because it was trying to link against a different version of std c++ lib which already exists as libstdc++-6.dll inside of C:\mingw32\bin

Sounds like a misconfiguration (old toolchain version remnants?) of your build environment, or lack of make clean when rebuilding dependencies. Also make sure all dependencies are built by the same toolchain.

im still getting the following error, what is this lrelease.exe?, im trying to compile litecoin 0.8.7.5 source

Recompile qt from source using the compile bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 with qt 4.8 instructions in the OP.

[l8nit3]

Thanks for the tut! Great work! im now the pround owner of a personally compiled (slightly tweaked) qt wallet! ive noticed this works with all of the bitcoin clones that use the basic ./confiigure && make && amek install setup (again AWESOME job). However im attempting to build a win8 partition to be used for compiling all types of crypto wallets (going for those new coin bounties lol). And it seems that with the coins that use "make -f makefile.Release" (eg.sexcoin, zetacoin, photon), compiling isnt working. (I understand thats not the current scope of this tut).
My Question:
Is it possible to be setup on windows for both types of wallets? (it seems the makefile.release ones require slightly different depends) and if it is possible, any chance of a tut update that includes those ones aswell?

ive compiled  qt  once again and still no lrelease.exe in the bin folder

ive also compiled the latest version 0.8.7, and no lrelease.exe


anyone have any ideas?

What is the output of that compilation. It should have worked. This indicates that it isn't compiling correctly.

It seems it is impossible to compile the newest bitcoin develoment source from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

It was all ok before two weeks and earlier.

Any changes in the configuration files necessary?

Nope. It seems that the latest commit has broken something. Looking at their travis-ci page: https://travis-ci.org/bitcoin/bitcoin, it seems that the latest commit has caused several build failures.

Did you comment out win32 genleveldb.commands from your .pro file (leveldb will need to be built separately)? See "additional notes for older Bitcoin 0.8.6" on first post.

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with this guide but I suspect me and the person I'm working with might get more help here.

Trying to compile bucks with gitian, made it past the install log but seems to have hiccuped with building.

It was hinted it may be a missing package but f if we can figure it out.

Am running in to this though if anyone has any ideas... using gitian but I doubt it's a gitian specific error.

From the window where the command was issued to "begin"...

Code:

Finally! Succes! It compiled!  

I had to re-apply the patch after I split it at line 180 and put the second half in the src/qt folder. For some reason the patch was only applied to the src/ folder files and not the src/qt files when it ran for the first time.

Hate to go necro, but I'm experiencing the same issues here.

Got a link to the patch file handy?

I think the relevant error is:

Do I need some special configuration?

msys is in PATH configuration

Can you post your gcc -v output?

make: *** [db/builder.o] Error 1

I think the relevant error is:
In file included from db/builder.cc:7:
./db/filename.h:10:20: stdint.h: No such file or directory

Do I need some special configuration?

msys is in PATH configuration

Hello ?

stdint.h is one of the many files that should be visible in a msys shell running on XP, if your 'mingw' installation went properly?  It is in the .../MinGW/include directory.

Then when you have that working, g++ may see a uint64_t type.  And then you may be able to build leveldb, which you only have to do once.  I see that it is trying to compile leveldb in NDEBUG.  Now if you are "doing" bitcoin, the "big wigs" want their asserts, so they really favor debug mode.  Though I much prefer an orderly shutdown to an abort() on a logical test failure outside of an assert()   See my message from Tue Jun  3 19:07:01 2014, in http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/  Never did get an answer to my question
