Help to Windows compile for my crypto.

[klasias]

Hi to all.

I'm a student , and i develop a my crypto ( fork to litecoin ).
In Ubuntu it's work fine , but when a try to compile for Windows is a disaster.

I follow this youtube tutorial : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ti-d5t1WX8
But my Debian Virtual Machine gives me this error: ./bin/gbuild:21:in `system!': failed to run make-clean-vm --suite precise --arch amd64 (RuntimeError)

Does any of you have a virutal machine already configured to compile with gitian-builder You can send it to me with a service like https://wetransfer.com/.

Or someone can compile for Windows (and send me with wetransfer) my wallet ?? My code is here:  https://github.com/gnucccoin/gnuccoin

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Which version of Litecoin did you fork ? I may have a solution to your problem, a friend of me made a general solution to build Litecoin forks for Windows from Linux after he spent dozens of hours without being able to compile Insacoin. I'll point him to the discussion.

When I have seen this error in the past it can relate to  kvm is not loaded.

The command ls

Code:

ls -l /dev/kvm 

This will check the dev/kvm

You should also follow this guide for setting up the system.

https://github.com/mazaclub/EasyGitianBuilder

I guess you are missing something from the system.

can you post the full log in code tags please.

Help me please!!!  

My error console is this:

Help me please!!!

That's not how you will get helped ..

cp: cannot stat `/home/ubuntu/out/src/doc/README_windows.txt': No such file or directory

Maybe this should help you to solve your error.

You have not answered my question :

Which version of Litecoin did you fork ?

However I asked my friend his Docker file and here it is (of course, you have to adapt it to your config) :

In the Gitian log there is the following :

Code:

+ tar -x -C /home/ubuntu/out/src
+ cp /home/ubuntu/out/src/doc/README_windows.txt /home/ubuntu/out/readme.txt
cp: cannot stat `/home/ubuntu/out/src/doc/README_windows.txt': No such file or directory

If the file exists you have maybe not the correct permissions or the file is non-existent.

Run in a terminal:

Code:

sudo chmod 775 /home/ubuntu/out/src/doc/README_windows.txt to grant yourself the permissions if the file is available.

You should question if you should release a coin if you are having issues with compiling one.
Running a coin is not easy it requires many skills and hard work to keep up to date with issues and updates.

I guess from your post this is a much older version codebase being used that will possibly have security risks for users.

Thanks a lot for all. But not works

Can someone send me a virtual machine already configated to compile (for windows) a fork of litecoin 0.8.7.5
Or can you compile me in (for windows setup) and send me the package? ( Send me via WeTransfer )

Thank you

This is a very bad idea.  Someone could modify the code and send you virus files.
