Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows

[waser12]

strip src/bitcoin-cli.exe
strip src/bitcoind.exe
strip src/qt/bitcoin-qt.exe


i can get all except bitcoin-qt.exe (the error is something like no file found)

Why please?

Webkit is only supported on qt shared builds afaik. To compile shared qt libraries including webkit you can do as follows:
Install perl, pyhton and ruby (make sure they are in path)
http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads
https://www.python.org/downloads
http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads

(msys) compile icu: http://download.icu-project.org/files/icu4c/54.1/icu4c-54_1-src.zip

Code:

cd /c/deps/icu/source/
./runConfigureICU MinGW --prefix=$PWD/../dist --enable-shared --disable-static
make && make install

(msys) compile both static and shared openssl: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz

Code:

cd /c/deps/
tar xvfz openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1j
Configure shared no-dso mingw

mingw32-make

As an alternative I think you can install the prebuilt qt package (http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw482_opengl-5.3.2.exe) and compile everything else with the included mingw-builds toolchain.

strip src/bitcoind.exe
strip src/qt/bitcoin-qt.exe

Why please?

You should have a look at configure output to see why bitcoin-qt is not being built

Why please?

Check the release folder as opposed to src, that is where most circumstances will place it. Also, note as in the guide, compiling the daemon and qt are separate.

check config + make sure the client isnt running

[cinnamon_carter]

last time i built it, and with 9.x i think it will show up in src/qt

older 8.x builds tend to show up in the release folder.... fyi

strip src/bitcoin-cli.exe
strip src/bitcoind.exe

just finished the build, will test today.

So is the qt-everywhere-opensource a more complete version of QT?

[nitrogenetics]

If you are going to compile qtwebkit (not required for reference implementation) you will need the full package, not just base and tools.

[altcoinex]

Further reading for QTWebkit On Windows, includes direct method and a simpler working MingW method:
https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingQtOnWindows

[petrolefr]

Thanks for this excellent guide.

It's possible to compile bitcoin 0.8.6 with qt 5.3.2 or i have to install qt 4.8.6?

[nitrogenetics]

Yes, but only after applying patches for qt5 compatibility to 0.8.6 sources:

Remove #define loop from util.h and replace loop with while (true) in
src/bitcoinrpc.cpp
src/main.cpp
src/net.cpp
src/script.cpp
src/util.cpp
src/wallet.cpp
src/walletdb.cpp

How to fix it?

[nitrogenetics]

Make sure not to use msys-gcc: uninstall relevant packages or delete mingw install dir and reinstall required msys packages only.

[presstab]

nitrogenics, this is one of my typical threads that I check in with every so often. You are doing an awesome job here (and others that help are too).

Just installed the build environment on a new machine. A few notes (and this really applies to older altcoins, not specifically bitcoin which i did not attempt to build):
1) Boost 1.57 seems to have some problems with QT < 5. Throwing errors on BOOST_JOIN's.  Boost 1.55 works fine.
2) I had same problem with miniupnpc as mentioned by others earlier in the thread. I built with 1.8 instead and it worked fine.
3) sending a small tip to your btc address, thanks for maintaining this thread!  

[nitrogenetics]

Thanks, much appreciated

You can find more info about BOOST_JOIN error here: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-22829
I successfully used the suggested workaround of wrapping has_binary_operator.hpp inside an #ifndef Q_MOC_RUN with boost 1.57.

When using current 1.9 miniupnpc sources make sure to define -DMINIUPNP_STATICLIB instead of -DSTATICLIB (v1.9 release still needs -DSTATICLIB).

Hope that helps

Anyone having problems linking with libQt5Gui.a?
I'm using 64bit binaries and have built the steps leading up to Qt qttools-opensource-src-5.3.2 with no issues.  The link for Qtdiag.exe doesn't seem to want to work.  I'm not an expert at this but know the basics and have managed to get up to here with no errors.  I've followed the current instructions as they are (great guide btw!).

I'm wondering how many have actually installed using 64bit.  My next step will be to try with 32 if I can't get this resolved.  Google searches show a similar problem but so far none resolved.

This is the link and error:

Can you be more specific & detail as to what needs to change in has_binary_operator.hpp

Hi,

Can I use this guide to compile 'some altcoins' wallet? It's an X11 algo coin.

Hi bitcoinrulzz,
You put the last #endif to a wrong line. Put it at the end of file instead, it should work then. (check again nitrogenetics's answer)
