I have been compiling successfully, and running Bitcoind & BitcoinQt on Windows (using gcc and MSVC++) for over a year. Version 0.8.1, 0.8.2, 0.8.3, 0.8.5, 0.8.6, 0.9.x

I think I'll try this route as QT really hates me..

Does the VS version matter?

you really need to install all those thing, toget this to work? isn't just qt creator+mingw enough?

Rember when installing bitcoin on Linux you need to have several dependencies - libboost, libels etc. windows simply has a much, much more complex and irritating installation procedure.

Not so,

there is a zip link for all the dependencies?

Unfortunately no, as you have to build them all yourself, otherwise your executable will compile and not run - incredibly frustrating when you don't know what's wrong.

There is the "easy win builder" that will download and compile all the depencies for you, but you still need mingw and qt. It's important to make sure that you only install msys with the MinGW installer and use the toolchain to build with - that got me for a while too.

"Proof-of-Asset Protocol"

http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.zip is not valid anymore.

Next one available is 4.8.6

Nothing wrong with it, just some instructions decluttering (also I didn't have time to check if it still worked with the latest qt libraries).
I may readd a brief notice about 0.8.6 and qt5 compatibility if you think it's needed.

Thanks, look forward to see some easy way to implement 0.8.6 into qt5.3

"Proof-of-Asset Protocol"

"removed older instructions about bitcoin 0.8.6 with qt5"
can you be more specific?

What was the reason, I remember using qt5 few months back with 0.8.6 with additional changes in some files, it works. what went wrong now?

Vave.com - Crypto Casino

Did anybody successfully compile whole packages qtbase v5.3.1 and qttools v5.3.1 at Windows 8? (using MinGW & gcc 4.9.0)

It seems everything is fully ok with 5.3.0, but with 5.3.1 is not: qttools fails at/near the end.

Despite that problems with the qttools v5.3.1 I can successfully build both quarkcoind.exe and quarkcoin-qt.exe with the latest versions of all other available libraries.

malware bytes reports a virus in libpng.

virus in libng?
How do you find?

Well, it may be a generic false positive, because i even got the warning when compiling from the official source.

I try to compile QT 5.3.1 + Mingw4.9.0 + OPENSSL。

64 bit binaries
64 bit binaries can be compiled by using the following toolchain:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.0/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.9.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev2.7z/download

All dependencies must be rebuilt with the above toolchain.
Openssl should be configured with:

Code:

Configure mingw64

Hello all. I'm stuck here and worried that if I don't do it properly, that nothing will work properly so I thought I'd ask.
Where it says "All dependencies must be rebuilt with the above toolchain." do I have to go through the entire process again up until this point but using mingw64?

Or do I only need to type "Configure mingw64" somewhere? If so, where do I type it?

Sorry for the noob question. Any info appreciated.

If you have compiled 32 bit dependencies you should make clean, reconfigure then make them again. If you need both 32 and 64 bit binaries you can use different source folders or better install them in different folders after compilation. Installation folder can be usually specified with --prefix while configuring.

Dear Dev:

Can we arrange a complete version of QT5.3.1??

Qt 5.3.1 works fine, I've just updated the first post.

Hi,

After compiling a qt wallet, the application stops at startup without displaying any screen nor error message. I've check edon Windows event viewer and I just see an error without any useful message.

What can I do in this case to debug the application ? Any debug tool that I could use ?

Which bitcoin version? Did you get a working daemon executable?
