hey all i have gotten very very close to compiling my first wallet but the error below is stopping me, anyone have any ideas i can try?

Hello luke9511?,

Seems your builder can't find the boost libraries. So did you build them according to step 2.7 of message #1 (of this forum)?

yes i did, i followed every step exactly

Are you building an older version, without autogen, or a newer version?  Actually what version of Bitcoin(?) are you building?

Usually, when one builds a boost library, there is a suffix attached, to each library, denoting the boost version # and library type,  something like boost_filesystem-mgw46-mt-s-1_53 for example. 

In your output, it looks like either the builder/compiler/linker doesn't know the boost suffix, or you didn't build library and tell the build what it is, or some combination of these things.  Or something else?

Hope this helps.

im trying to compile alt coin and bit coin wallets, which is why you see the older version, but every vm i try this on even with the latest qt and everything i get the same error message, does not matter if its for bitcoin or alphacoin or blackcoin i always get the same error

EDIT after getting to work and trying this guide one more time, i managed to get the bitcoin core wallet compiled, now i just need to figure out how to do the same for wallets that were not compiled with qt5 etc

[Temo58]

Thank you for the update.
In step 4, you are saying add the path for QT 5.1.1. But you using 5.2 qtbase and tools. Did you mean to do that? Should the path be 5.2?

There is no error showing in the dump you provided above, it is up "above" somewhere! 

All I can say is that gcc was trying to compile bitcoin.cpp for the Qt version.

Let us know what alt coin & version you are trying to compile.  Maybe someone here can direct you to an appropriate forum for that coin?  They all have them.  Though all the smart guys are here

Ah, we see an error!

See message #480, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.msg9919026#msg9919026 and earlier in this forum.  That should get you further along.

yes i did and the alphacoin-qt.pro file and util.h file if i remember right and one other file already have those fixes in them, also with that fix in the berkley db do i need to recompile db after that change is made?

yes i did and the alphacoin-qt.pro file and util.h file if i remember right and one other file already have those fixes in them, also with that fix in the berkley db do i need to recompile db after that change is made?

Yes!  It's the db.h in the BerkeleyDB sources, not the db.h in the *coin sources.

I am attempting to do this, but I keep getting stuck on building protobuf. It always ends with this error in a dialog box:

Code:

The procedure entry point _ZSt24_throw_out_of_ragne_fmtOKcz could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\deps\protobuf-2.6.1\src\protoc.exe

I am building this on Windows 10.

i think you may have a much easier time if you install virtual box and get a windows 7 iso image and install everything clean , i have not used win 10 yet for anything except the demo and not on an actual machine only in vb..... still i know others who have had no issue with building on win 10 ,  from experience if you are new to compiling a bitcoin client for win from these notes believe me a clean install as i suggested should be a big help.

I will try that later, for now I have figured out how to cross compile it on Linux.

I would bet that you've yourselves unintentionally damaged one of the source files. I see "ragne" instead of "range", like somebody messed some include files and then tried to repair them by hand.

No, that is just a typo. I couldn't actually copy and paste the error so I typed it out.
