Why can't I compile the bitcoin source code?

[BlackHatCoiner]

I'm trying to build the source code in windows 10 with visual studio 2017 but I'm so confused! I've made my searches here on this forum but nothing, only linux answers. They say that everything is written here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/build_msvc/README.md but I don't get it. It tells me that I have to download libraries, how exactly?? Because I can't find the instructions in build-windows.md

Also, do I have to do one of these or all of them?


When I try to compile in visual studio I get these errors:

Code:

You don't have the required build tools. v142 is included in Visual Studio 2019. So either upgrade your Visual Studio or edit the Platform Toolset settings. CMIIW.

See:

I just installed visual studio 2019 with v142. This is what it returns when I try to build it:

What do I do wrong again? Have I forgotten something?

[BlackHatCoiner]

It looks like generic error message where you set the path for the source code incorrectly, but i might be wrong since i never compile Bitcoin Core from Windows.

P.S. it might be good idea to mention what command or parameter do you use to compile Bitcoin Core

I put the bitcoin.sln to VS and then I click build. Simple as that.

[BitMaxz]

I put the bitcoin.sln to VS and then I click build. Simple as that.

Did you follow the step on GitHub from the top to the end?

It seems you have same problem with the same issue from the Bitcoin Github page and until now he does not solve his issue.
You can check it from here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/17864

Then try to do some solution given from other users there who succeed in compiling it with Visual Studio.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Ahh... What's wrong with me... I try to install the dependencies and I get the following error on installing boost-filesystem:

[HCP]

And what error(s) or info is shown in "C:\Users\LE\Pictures\vcpkg-master\buildtrees\bzip2\msys-pacman-x86-windows-err.log"?

Anything useful that might give a clue as to why the bash.exe command failed?

msys-pacman-x86-windows-err.log returns me this:

[BlackHatCoiner]

Admit that I'm unlucky please... 
What do I have to do now? Is there any other way to compile it with visual studio 2017/2019?

[BlackHatCoiner]

Sorry for the double post but I think that I'm unluckier than I thought... I tried to do it with the linux way. I installed ubuntu on my windows 10. Why do I get this error on installng g++mingw-w64-x86-64 ?

[Rath_]

It should be "g++-mingw-w64-x86-64" and not "g++mingw-w64-x86-64". You forgot to put "-" before "mingw".

[BlackHatCoiner]

Thanks. Build notes say that I have to do this in order to build the source code:

Code:

PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Disable WSL support for Win32 applications.
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
make
sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Enable WSL support for Win32 applications.

Am I starting it right?

[Rath_]

Am I starting it right?

Yes, it seems to be fine. Proceed with the instructions and post once there are any specific errors with which we might be able to help.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Code:

sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" 

What about that? I don't copy it, right? Because, when I did, it returned that:



Also, in my "coin" folder there is the bitcoin 0.20.0 source code. Do I have to move it to C:\ ? Like that: C:\coin ?

[Rath_]

What about that? I don't copy it, right? Because, when I did, it returned that:

I have just noticed that you have changed "$PATH" to "C:\coin". Don't modify anything. Leave it at "$PATH" and it should work.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Explain me please what am I doing wrong. @BitCryptex

[BlackHatCoiner]

@ETFbitcoin, it seems that it now works:


About that:

Code:

cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball

What exactly do I write? cd.. and then ./atogen.sh or both at the same line?

Btw, thanks, for helping me guys 

[Rath_]

What exactly do I write? cd.. and then ./atogen.sh or both at the same line?

Execute them separately. They were put in the separate lines intentionally. You could write them in the same line by putting "&&" between them, but that's completely redundant.

I'm waiting for some minutes. Nothing seems to happen.

[Rath_]

I'm waiting for some minutes. Nothing seems to happen.

"make" started the compilation. You should see that your computer is under load in the task manager. Give it a few more minutes.
