Compile steps for Windows x64 using MSVC
First of all let's get all the tools we need :
- Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2013 (It's a free version of visual studio with some license limitations).
You can uncheck the web development tools and SQL tools since you won't use them for building AEON.
This will take time to download and install and you will have to reboot upon completion.
- Download and install cMake for windows from :
http://www.cmake.org/download/ (Win32 install)[/li][/list]
- Download Boost 1.57 from
http://www.boost.org/users/download/ , use the zip or 7zip archive and extract.
You can use c:\boost_1_57_0 since this is what I am using for this steps.[/li][/list]
- Download and install Github for Windows from
https://windows.github.com/ (This also includes a Git shell that we will use later).
Now the nasty part compile & build time !
- Build Boost :
Open a command line and type :
> cd c:\boost_1_57_0
> bootstrap.bat
> b2 --toolset=msvc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static address-model=64
- Open the Git Shell (or Git bash) depending what you downloaded previously and do.
> git clone https://github.com/aeonix/aeon.git
> cd aeon
> mkdir build
> cd build
> cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT=c:\boost_1_57_0 -DBOOST_LIBRARY_DIR=c:\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib ..
> cd ..
> MSBuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=release
You should now find the exe files under build/release/src .
found some mistakes while folowing this manual:
1) you need to be inside the map "c:\aeon\build" to execute the last step (MSBuild Project.sln /p:Configuration=release) so delete "cd .." from manual
2) the aeond and simplewallet can be found in build/
src/releaseanyway, syncing now
edit: can someone send me 1 AEON (or even less) so I'm sure the wallet is working when the blockchain is synced
edit2: AEON is send. Will check when synced
