Error time!

The first time I launch my wallet, everything seems to be in working order...
If I close and re-open, however, I receive a " error loading block index " warning.
Deleting the files from Appdata\Roaming will only fix the problem until the next time application is loaded.
Any clues? I'll provide as much info as possible to those willing to help. Thanks in advance

What version of Bitcoin did you build?
What Windows OS version are you using?
What versions of which libraries did you build your Bitcoin with?
Which program (daemon or Qt) are you running?

Do you have other versions, whether you built them or not, that do work on your system? In the same location, setup, etc.?
Do you wait "long enough" after shutting down? This can depend on which program you are running?

Bump?

How made it possible with current mingw64/msys2 to compile bitcoin(core) or other wallets?
Are there any guides to do that? This manual is outdated at all :/

It works following the official guide:

   https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md

But first you have to build a static version of Qt5.7 by following the guide (it takes some hours):

   http://dimitris.apeiro.gr/2015/06/24/build-a-static-qt5-for-windows-by-compiling/

And copy all the files from:

   C:\Qt\Qt5_static\plugins\platforms

To the bitcoin source folder:

   [whatever]\bitcoin-0.13.2\depends\x86_64-w64-mingw32\plugins\platforms

Anyone try windows 10 bash with mxe compile? if not ill set up a vb and see if it works :p

I get the same results whether I use a Linux VM or Windows 10 bash.

I think the problem is that the static libqwindows.a is not distributed with Qt. You get only the shared library qwindows.dll.

The platform plugin libraries are here:

C:\Qt\5.7\mingw53_32\plugins\platforms

I only have:

qminimal.dll
qminimald.dll
qwindows.dll
qwindowsd.dll

I am trying to follow the instructions for building a static Qt5.7 and I hope that also the missing libraries are built in the process.

Hi, I tried this instructions but:

1. after make HOST, I have to perform ./autogen.sh in order to get a configure file
2. the ./configure thing produces this error:

checking for static Qt plugins: -lqwindows... no
configure: error: Could not resolve: -lqwindows

What I'm supposed to do?

P.S. The line

./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-gui=qt5 --enable-tests=no

has to be corrected this way:

./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32 --with-gui=qt5 --enable-tests=no

Thought I would necro this thread incase someone is stuck.

If you're trying to build a previous version and are getting stuck with config errors,
try and replace bitcoin_qt.m4 with the newest bitcoin/src/m4/bitcoin_qt.m4.

How does one build qt 4.8 projects on qt 5?
I use the greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets and added -static but the compiled file throws runtime errors on opening or sometimes closing. Is there anything else to do?

I don't know about building a 4.8.x bitcoinQt on a Qt 5.x system? But when I build 4.8.x on a 4.8.x (Windows 8.1) system, I found I got similar errors if I didn't delete all the .obj & other files in the build directory. The make file isn't too bright about what needs to be compiled and what doesn't.

Ron

My build dir is already clean. I compiled a clean source. No luck so far. I think this runtime has to do with how qt is not statically linking libs. I pasted some dlls into the coins release folder but no dice.

Looking at http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/27729-statically-link-Qt-libraries-%28not-build-static-library%29 I tried the suggestions there and I still ended up with a dynamically linked bitcoin-qt.exe or *coin-qt.exe

If you look at message #1 in this forum it is not clear what Qt is created on one's system. I did read, but can't find the link now, that one needs to build a set of libraries for Qt that are dynamic for the use of Qt creator and Qt designer (if you use them) and a set that is static for building one's applications. I don't know if that is so, nor how one would keep the environment straight Huh

Ron

I still haven't figured this one out. And I stopped hacking at it for now. Did you find anything helpful?

I use this and it works fine

Quote

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4) {
QT += widgets
DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0
}

if you have errors, post them here, so people can help you.

I have that in my code. My qt version is 5.3. The app starts fine. When I open debug window and enter any word or whenever I close the wallet. it closes with generic "this application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way"
I noticed the final qt file size is only 9.few mb which is low if qt would statically link libs.

Hello,

How big is your Qt exe? ~7MB? 27MB?

I can't find the actual link, but here is a parallel discussion,
http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/quirks
which I think is apropos. It seems that there are some exceptions being thrown due to the Qt linking perhaps?

I found similar errors going back to linking bitcoin-qt 0.8.1! I was able to get rid of them and get a stable exe by removing the link arguments

Code:

	-static-libgcc \
	-static-libstdc++ \
	-static \

The test for me was using any command in the help->debug window->console, in addition to your actions. But this is for Qt 4.8.4, not 5.x

okay, so qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.2.1 works.

but the compilation still says unknown module webkitwidgets

so how does one add this qt-everywhere to PATH?

Edit: I added C:\Qt\Qt5.3.2new\5.3\mingw482_32\bin to path environment. I am now only using qtcreator 5.3 instead of qt everywhere

If you're trying to build a previous version and are getting stuck with config errors,
try and replace bitcoin_qt.m4 with the newest bitcoin/src/m4/bitcoin_qt.m4.
