Man, be prepared for ton of butthurt when compiling for windows.

I've tried to do this on 5 occasions untill now, and only 1 was a success (i followed that tutorial)

[Logicoin.info]

Hello. I wanted to compile a Litecoin wallet on my computer. I couldn't find a Linux tutorial, so I'm using windows 8.1 (x64) on a virtual machine instead. To clarify, I want to compile litecoind into a windows wallet. I tried following this tutorial https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0 and I came across tons of errors that I have no idea how to fix. If anyone would mind assisting me in setting up a working compiler? (I have limited knowledge with coding/programming). I'm also fine with using TeamViewer for assistance.

Linux is by far the easiest to compile both the daemon and the QT.

Daemon should be as simple as

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev mysql-server git
git clone https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin
cd litecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

Might be able to help with the windows build if you paste the error.

Google every error you run into. I did this tut as well and it worked first go. Indeed there were pains in butts but it did work.

I remember disabling USB devices fixed one them.

A what step you get what error?

How do i compile for windows on cloud

[theghostok]

Try this

Code:

sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libxtst-dev git autotools-dev automake libcurl4-gnutls-dev

git clone https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin

cd litecoin

qmake-qt4

make

Please PM me if you're unsuccesful.

Sorry buddy but that's not going to work.  .

If you've compiled it in Linux, it definitely won't work in Windows. If you want to compile in Windows then you've got an almighty headache ahead and the best place to start is with this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0.

Good luck!!

If it's of any help, try again with a virtual machine running Windows 7 or even XP.

For simplicity's sake, the easiest compile route is probably the Qt 4.8 libraries as these requires less patching and they CAN build static wallets that are much more stable than dynamically linked ones i.e. those which need the extra DLLs/libraries. Nothing is worse than when you've spent ages getting a wallet compiled and it crashes every time on start or exit.

Follow the compile and dependency instructions in the thread posted above to the letter (well almost) and make sure you scroll down to the qt 4.8 section! You don't need protoc, libprotobuf, libpng or qrencode for building Litecoin wallets and NOT adding these will reduce the likelihood of errors that will only complicate matters.

Each time you come across an error, google the last few lines of your error messages one at a time (starting with the last line) and if this fails to provide a solution, go to the top lines and try these. Most of the issues are caused by the links to deps not being correctly stated in the qt.pro file. Whatever problems you have, many other people will have faced the same issues and google is your #1 friend for finding issues that other people have posted help requests for.

Oops, didn't read the windows wallet thing.

As Sharrow stated you can't use a linux binary under windows directly, so you must compile it using MinGW, but be ready for the headaches.
