bitcoin-qt build error

[stcupp]

ok so i followed the directions on this page for building in windows

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst

the boost dependencies was missing the assign folder in the includes so i got it from boost

now im getting this error

Code:

./build\init.o: In function `Z23SetStartOnSystemStartupb':

After adding "ole32.lib" and "uuid.lib" to the list of libraries, these problems seems to go away. I am having hard time actually running the created executable.

me too i finally got it to build but it wont run.... i was told nobody has built it in windows that even the windows exe was built in linux using gitian so im working on building with gitian now

I have a feeling that it might be due mixing of mingw and msvc compilers.

We need more Windows developers, by the way; if you know a lot about developing in C++ on Windows and want to (for example) create a Visual Studio project or resurrect makefile.vc or fix the build instructions if they're not right that'd be spiffy.

I will try to compile everything from source code rather than using the dependencies packages. Once everything works, I will definitely post the instructions.
