How does one compile a coin from source on Windows? It seems as if it can only be done easily on Linux.

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

Came here to ask that exact same question. Can some one help a couple of noobs out? |

Thanks. But that's for the daemon not Qt, right? it should compile anything that you have the source code for, assuming the code was built for the compiler's architecture. In other words, if the compiler is trying to spit out an .exe binary for windows, the source code must be for windows. |

Rough instructions, but not very detailed. Is it good to compile on a VM? |

Rough instructions, but not very detailed. Is it good to compile on a VM? I recommend just following the many build instructions for Linux for all development and testing purposes. Its going to be a while till I get the time to re-write the windows docs. |

It would still be nice to know how to build the Qt client on windows, though. |

The one for BTC can be used but its very hard to do at first. Then if the code is changed a bit where it looks for a dependancy somewhere else than where you installed... ahhh good times. you get good after all the copy paste that used to happen .
