I am unable to get boost installed I have followed this guide and still when I run the command to install boost it cannot find gcc any ideas

Code:

C:\deps\boost_1_55_0>bootstrap.bat mingw

'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please consult bootstrap.log for furter diagnostics.

You can try to obtain a prebuilt binary from

http://sf.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941

Also, you can file an issue at http://svn.boost.org
Please attach bootstrap.log in that case.

C:\deps\boost_1_55_0>

Traverse to: $BOOSTDIR/tools/build/v2/engine/build.bat

and at like line 93 before :Guess_Toolset

put 3 spaces(new lines) in

then after that, type out cmd /c 'bootstrap.bat mingw'

There ya go.

i have same error,not resolved.
can u upload your build.txt or boost_1_55_0 files ?

This does not work, have tried adding cmd /c 'bootstrap.bat mingw' in that file every way possible i.e before, after and even infront of :Guess_Toolset and it still spits out the same error.

Hello ?

g++ is trying to link from libleveldb.a & libmemenv.a which ought to be in C:/testcoin/src/leveldb. So are they there? If not, then they should have been built and may be placed elsewhere?

Congratz! Do you have available any guide or instructions to make Bitcoin compile with MSVC?

Hello kr105

Not yet, but it does compile. The real question is does it run? The levelDB windows (static debug) library I built "stumbles" in the 12th loop in VerifyDB() at level 3. It passes at level 0,1,2 and the exe goes all the way to running. Even connects to clients, but can't store the first new block it obtains, yet. I believe it is related to the LRU cache problem I'm seeing in VerifyDB() level 2.

I am testing on a copy of the block chain that starts(or is it ends) at 272233. This blockchain starts up fine using a "normal" version of bitcoind.exe

The levelDB code thinks it needs a chainstate/604027.sst file and tries to open it, finding that it is already open! So either it thought it closed it but it didn't. Or it didn't think it had it, but it did.

I built my .lib from the 1.13 release since that was the latest when I began

I see that bitcoin 0.8.5 uses levelDB 1.12. So should I use that version or try for the latest 1.15 Huh

The hardest parts are creating the libraries needed for MSVC++ and configuring the IDE for the project, the files, the include and library directories. Once that's done, it's a cake walk to compile test, build, debug, etc. Since the IDE has "intellisense" on all the classes, etc. it is really nice, especially in debug mode. And it "knows" about the include file relationships, which is worth it in time on rebuilding.

Since there was so little reaction to the pix, I went off MSVC++ porting some other *coin. And it went much faster since I had done the tough work on the bitcoin sources.

I am trying to find (and fix) this levelDB caching problem, and when I have and the code works, I will clean up the sources and "github" them.

I will say the there are very few changes done to the source. It is mostly in the arrangement of the includes Shocked

Ron

Hello all,

It has been over 3 months, and three *coind.exe's later and finally fixing a bug in the MSVC windows version of the leveldb code, I can say that bitcoind.exe is a full, pure MSVC++ product (again?).

Much more to follow...

could you write a guide to build a scrypt-jane or Keccak wallet. I'm sick with this.

I have some issue building leveldb

TARGET_OS=NATIVE_WINDOWS make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
make: Nothing to be done for `libleveldb.a'.

I get the error message of nothing to be done. Is there something I miss out here for leveldb

Lol well now I tried to clone DogeCoin (to get a newer version of bitcoin-qt) and lo-and-behold! The merkel hash is nowhere to be found. Nowhere in the .coin folder. Thanks for the thread, but I keep on running into stupid problems. I'm not even trying to create a shit-coin, I was trying to create a coin for my own use entirely just to say that I could do it. I guess fuck windows compiling, the coin I made worked fine on linux just couldn't get the wallet to work. But now these new versions work differently it seems, like I said merkel hash = nowhere to be found.

Sorry for off-topic.

I tried building from Step 1 again, same result stuck on last line...

Turn On debug this time, hope to see some feedback.

Code:

setClickable has been deprecated in qt5. Use QHeaderView::setSectionsClickable instead.

I will probably just re-build from a newer coin running a newer version. The guide that I am following is not very good, I had to troubleshoot a HELL OF A LOT. The guy is so full of shit that it worked fine if you followed his steps. I had to install a lot more shit than he called for, and a lot of different problems throughout the way that I was able to find by reading through various forums lol.

For example, when compiling the coin from the mingw shell, he says the command is
Code:
make -f Makefile.Release
...you have to use mingw32-make. make is not recognized at all. i don't know if that is just a problem on my end, but various forum posts from other sites say otherwise.

Also, from the guide itself, it says I only need to do (from a mingw shell, command prompt, or whatever you call it)
Code:
qmake "USE_UPNP=- mycoin-qt.pro
well that does not do anything, it just brings up the options menu for me.

Like I said maybe it's all my end...I don't know.

mine is based on 8.6.1, but got bitcoind.exe build fine & tested it.
However still stuck in bitcoin-qt.exe build. Once I get this working maybe will help you out with these hiccups.
