I'm running Windows XP on VMWare with a clean install. I need a complete step-by-step guide for what I need to download, what commands I need to run, etc. I've tried it myself and read all the directions but I keep getting errors and a Google search doesn't tell me how to fix it. I'll pay 100 BTC to whoever enables me to build a working bitcoind binary from source.

you can also build the binary using mingw if you're more familar with linux

Kind of sad that 100 BTC has to be offered for this, someone really needs to rewrite the build process. Oh well, here goes: Install:Download:Note that the reason for using the binary miniupnpc release is that I was unable to get it to build on my system. Add C:\MinGW\bin to your PATH environment variable (Google is your friend as it depends on your Windows Version). In the DOS Shell:wxWidgets: cd \wxWidgets-2.9.1-mgw\build\msw mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc Boost: cd \boost-1.43.0-mgw \bjam\bjam.exe toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage In the msys Shell (MinGW shell in your start folder or C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat):OpenSSL: cd /c/openssl-1.0.0c-mgw ./config make perl util/mkdef.pl 32 libeay enable-static-engine > libeay32.def dllwrap --dllname libeay32.dll --output-lib libeay32.a --def libeay32.def libcrypto.a -lws2_32 -lgdi32
Copy the libeay32.dll file to the folder where you are building/running bitcoin. Berkeley DB: cd /c/db-4.7.25.NC-mgw/build_unix sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx make BitcoinIf you wish to use git to pull keep a local repository, you'll have to download msgit from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe&can=2&q=. Otherwise, you can download the latest zip of bitcoin from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/masterIn the msys shell, cd to the unzipped location and Run with ./bitcoin.exe (make sure you have the libeay32.dll in bitcoin folder)

@BlueMatt Thank you very much for the instructions, I'm following them to build Namecoin. Just a note, I'm building on Windows 7 64bit and I had to add the "address-module=32" parameters to the boost build in order for it to compile without error. \bjam\bjam.exe toolset=gcc address-model=32 --build-type=complete stage

Nice work.

Don't know, never seen it. Make sure you have a libdb_cxx.a in C:\db-4.7.25.NC-mgw\build_unix.

There was no libdb_cxx.a indeed. I recompiled C:\db-4.7.25.NC-mgw\ and the file was there now. Not sure what happened. Anyway, the good news is that it compiled successfully! Thanks. 90MB .exe but it seems to work fine.

You should strip bitcoin.exe. That should help.

Gotcha. A more manageable 7.5MB now. Cheers!

Just to let you know, I had to modify makefile.mingw and change the following lines: LIBS= \ -l boost_system-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_filesystem-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_program_options-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_thread-mgw45-mt-s-1_43 \ -l db_cxx \ -l eay32 To: LIBS= \ -l boost_system-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_filesystem-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_program_options-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \ -l boost_thread-mgw44-mt-s-1_43 \ -l db_cxx \ -l eay32 Also, like Gallop I had to recompile Berkley DB. Thank you for the wonderful guide, BlueMatt. ~lulzplzkthx

I went through all the steps and finally when I did make -f makefile.mingw I got this: In file included from util.cpp:5:0: headers.h:62:29: fatal error: boost/foreach.hpp: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [obj/util.o] Error 1
I tried copying the boost folder to the bitcoin src directory but got the same error... I don't know where I need to move it to in order for it to be found.

I just extracted and added -mgw to the dir name without realising it's called boost_1_43_0-mgw.

Great guide! TY!
The makefile now appears to look for C:\openssl-1.0.0d-mgw instead of C:\openssl-1.0.0c-mgw and it was failing on that. But just a minor speed bump.
Again, thanks!
