When changing the toolchain it is usually safer to recompile everything, when updating the dependencies you will need to recompile what depends on them (after updating openssl recompile qt and bitcoin).



See "Additional notes for older Bitcoin 0.8.6".

which coin are you compiling?
have you already compiled leveldb like stated in this tutorial?

My last question!
I was dreaming of finally after days of reading variuos tutorial,to compile my first wallet, and at the final stage i stuck here:

you only need to compile dependancies again. you have to compile qt only once.

I'm compiling QT

cd C:\Qt\5.3.2
configure.bat -release -opensource -confirm-license -static -make libs -no-sql-sqlite -no-opengl -system-zlib -qt-pcre -no-icu -no-gif -system-libpng -no-libjpeg -no-freetype -no-angle -no-vcproj -openssl -no-dbus -no-audio-backend -no-wmf-backend -no-qml-debug

mingw32-make

Since i have only a dualcore, it's more than 4 hours that he's compiling.
Seems working weel,but too slow.

But my question is:
If i need another version in future of mingw,or openssl,or berkeley etc etc, i have to recompile also QT?
Or just the respective deps?

Thanks aways.

if you have already compiled the openssl. then you it will say nothing to be done for "all".
so go to next step 

Installing OPENSLL
make
Firsti he ask me to do: make depend before install
I do. Then i do: make
Then error:
Nothing to be done for `all (after 10 minutes of compiling)

What's up?

Hello fabula?

If your *coin is derived from an older version of Bitcoin, say pre 0.9.x , then using the *coin-qt.pro on Windows, should qmake the makefile.release & makefile.debug for mingw32-make to "eat"!  It has been working for me for 18 months or so that I have been in this "racket"!  Of course one must attune ones *coin-qt.pro and probably the derived makefile.release/debug for one's own environment.  And don't forget the intermediate object_script.*coin-qt.Release/Debug files too if you add "goodies"   Think of how many OpenSSL versions have gone "under the bridge" like water: 1.0.1c,e,h,i,j that one had to update in the .pro or .release files!

I miss a basic and important knoweledge.
Already cloned and modified a coin under linux.
If need to compile a gui wallet for windows i need to use this guide?
qmake under linux will create a wallet for linux but not for windows right?
And i don't understand if the wallet will be compiled with stake option taken from source gthub repository of the cloned coin.

Thanks.
Or i can make an exe file under linux to compile windows wallet?

Sometimes i see very nice wallets, with nice graphics. qmake will create them from the code source?
I mean, i will clone an XXX coin that already have a personal wallet with different layout, i will mod the source code, change block rewards,name,stuff here and ther, then with qmake command i will create a wallet similar to the original ones? or i always will get the vintage grey wallet as for standard bitcoin or litecoin?

vmware is easy,take virtualbox

i set enviroment,but doesnt work

Hey nitrogenetics,
Can you install it on a VMware when i give you TeamViewer ID + Password please (I give you a little bounty).
Thanks.

Qt webkit can only be compiled on shared qt builds afaik:
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-32309

Is there a way to compile qtwebkit along with all of this? A coin I'm compiling requires the webkit, which can only be compiled if qt is compiled non-statically. It then seems to break everything. Is there some way around this?

Msys-perl will be automatically selected for installation by msys-autoconf, so it should not be normally needed to get it manually installed.

Step 1.1:  Add Msys-Perl package.  I tried to do .configure for openSSL and it complained about not having PERL available.  After going back into MinGW and selecting to install Msys-Perl the configuration of openSSL worked perfectly.

it just cant find the target for make. That means you're maybe in the wrong directory? you should try cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix again, and that you're in build_unix dir.

i don't have one, if you are going to try to build with vb better to learn gitian method....

if you are just getting stuck get a copy of someone's dep's folder , it may help but you cannot just take someone elses deps folder and have it work on your machine automatically,  there are still things you have on your machine,  as the 'man' himself said make sure you have the correct msys version installed


if you are trying to build older versions or alt coins may be difficult since bitcoin has 'outgrown' them so much,

i use older /different mingw version to build alt coins..... latest to build btc....

Your build environment is most likely misconfigured, delete c:\mingw then reinstall required msys packages only. Also check that your PATH is ok.
