[ANN] EasyWinBuilder - The Easy Way to Build Bitcoin on Windows

[phelix]

There seems to be an issue that leveldb is being compiled without proper multithreading support....  maybe this is causing the crashes on litecoin and some other altcoins. I will try to find the time to take a look at it.

Hello
Please sorry to hijack this thread, but could someone look at this issue? I installed the whole environment with EasyWinBuilder, but then when I want to compile one particular altcoin for someone, I am getting this strange error:

C:\altcoin>make -f Makefile.Release

This line is where the problem is:

It seems that the make system or I don't know who mangled the file path from src\qt\bitcoin.cpp to srcqtbitcoin.cpp (backslashes are removed). Please don't you know how to fix this?
Thanks very much.

could be a problem of forward/backward slashes
something is different in your altcoin than in Bitcoin

Did you set the correct boost suffix on the .pro file?

Alright, I fixed that, but now I am running into another error when building daemon:

Wrong mingw version (see bold text above). Follow instructions on the command window when installing mingw or look a couple posts above. You need to uncheck "install gui".

Yeah I fixed it, but do you know how I can fix the one I just posted?

I was able to build bitcoin-qt.exe but it crashed on startup too. Anyone figured out how to fix this ?

Same. Also had trouble building the daemon but I already have it compiled on linux so it's not a big deal really.

maisteri and kergecoin: check if boost compiled properly: there should be some files in boost_xxx/stage/lib 
Compare the names to the names (several times) in set_vars.bat

OK, thanks, i will do that and report back later.

There seems to be an issue that leveldb is being compiled without proper multithreading support....  maybe this is causing the crashes on litecoin and some other altcoins. I will try to find the time to take a look at it.

Hey Phelix. Any luck looking into this one?  I have tried to no avail to get a windows alt coin to run stable. The bitcoin src seems g2g.
I get a runtime on exit and also runtimes in the debug command window for example if i type "help".  Whats strange is other commands
are find get peerinfo for example as long as there are no fat fingers.

linux/mac build are rock solid.

Thanks!

Hmm... it seemed the added leveldb parameters did not make a difference when comparing the files. I will have to take a another good look but I busy with other stuff atm.

The .dlls appear to be fine. However, I tried to compile the source on a completely different computer and this time it would not build the daemon or the qt! Also tried a completely fresh install on my main PC and had the same issue. daemon and qt won't build.

I am able to build both on Ubuntu with the same source code and all but Windows just does not like these at all it seems. I even tried to build this on a VM running Windows XP but no cigar. Is there a way to make a coin-qt.exe on Ubuntu?

qt build error goes as following:

Code:

Makefile.Release:253: recipe for target 'release/xcoin-qt.exe' failed
mingw32-make: *** [release/xcoin-qt.exe] Error 1

Here is a picture of the complete window when compiling the qt.

So you checked that filenames match? I cant do this myself as im not at my pc.
Pprobably have to install linux and do as you did. Compile daemon with linux and qt with windows.
Also maybe try 1.55 boost version before i start intalling linux. Probably gives same error.

Success!  I just managed to compile daemon as well! Thanks!
There was simple flaw in library failname, which i didnt notice when i checked before.
Thanks for making Windows compliation a lot easyer and faster!

Which file it was for you and what error did you fix? I've checked like a hundred times the files and they look right. Even windows search agrees with my eyes! 

[Kergekoin]

There was filename mistake in makefile file. Just check that files in mentioned folder match with library names. Mine had "-d-" in between library names in makefile, but actual files didnt have it.

Now all working big Thanks

But i got a exit bug from wallet-qt anybody know to fix it ?
Rest working fine there is only one other bug console command = "help" instand crash with same error msg others commands working fine.
