[Automatic] Building windows bitcoin client from sources

[pB11]

Here is the script to grab and compile latest sources.
Only mingw is pre-built, everything else is built from scratch.

• Fully automatic!
• No prerequisites.
• Just create .bat and run it.
• It downloads and builds everything in current folder.

You can delete C:\msysgit afterwards.
Upnp not included.
Tested on Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit.

Code:

if exist msysGit.exe goto unpack
echo Downloading msysgit
echo Set x=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"):x.Open "GET","http://msysgit.googlecode.com/files/msysGit-fullinstall-1.7.6-preview20110708.exe",0:x.Send() >d.vbs
echo Set s=CreateObject("ADODB.Stream"):s.Type=1:s.Open():s.Write(x.responseBody):s.SaveToFile "msysGit.exe",2 >>d.vbs
cscript /nologo d.vbs
if not exist msysGit.exe goto e1
:unpack
msysGit.exe -y -nr
xcopy /E C:\msysgit
echo Compiling GIT
msysgit\bin\bash.exe --login echo DONE

I would suggest breaking it into 2 batch files.  The first one would be to create the environment and the second would just compile the client.

Yeah, i bet everyone who will use it for second time will do it anyway.
Relevant lines for [pulling updates and] re-building bitcoin:

P.S. Edit: uncomment 'git pull' if you want to update source tree

I would have gone with just the last 3 lines.  Assuming the person is modifying the client, you don't want to pull the source when doing a recompile.

My antivirus software thinks this batch file is making a trojan downloader

Gonna have to do it the slow way: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=5851.msg86700#msg86700

[N.Z.]

dacoinminster, it is a joke, right? If not, you have the source before your eyes! Throw away your antivirus!

dacoinminster, it is a joke, right? If not, you have the source before your eyes! Throw away your antivirus!

Sadly, this is not a joke. The antivirus cannot be disabled on this PC.

I'd appreciate any help I can get with the problems I am having compiling. Read about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5851.msg458581#msg458581

I realise this post is some 120 days since the last.

Has there been any improvement on this (or other) process?

I've scoured the net and this is all I can find at present:

1) I don't want to use coingen.io because you have little control over what is built - you still have to take the source and compile it afterwards.

2) I don't want to use the services of razorcoin either as it seems very expensive (try 1 to 3 BTC !!) for anything more than a very bare bones coin build.

I'm relatively new to crypt currency. I have been mining on Windows and Linux for a few months (CPU, GPU, ASIC, ANT, solo, pool, p2pool, cgminer, bfminer).

I'm looking for either:

a) a one-stop shop/service that can build wallets (Win, Linux and perhaps Mac) and perhaps other components (like a BlockChain scanner etc).

b) a developer who is willing to assist/teach the process.

c) simple instructions to setup & build altcoins (video preferred) on a Win7 x64 platform.

Either reply here or PM me.

Many thanks,
Mark
