Topic: Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows - page 53. (Read 419389 times)

unfortunately, the script crashs after some times. I will try this on an other windows machine in a few hours. but thanks anyway

* Download your favorite Litecoin version: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin and extract it.
* Download https://github.com/phelixbtc/bitcoin/archive/0.8.3-EasyWinBuilder-v0.2.zip   and copy the easywinbuilder folder into the litecoin folder (so that it is next to src, doc, ...)
* In the easywinbuilder folder edit set_vars.bat:  @set COINNAME=bitcoin    --->  @set COINNAME=litecoin
* In the easywinbuilder folder double click __all_easywinbuilder.bat
* Follow instructions

I'm starting to lose my patience. 
I pay 0.3 BTC each person that successfully explains to me: how to build a litecoin-qt client on a windows system. ->From the first download up to the final "ctrl-B command" in the Qt Creator.

But did litecoin-qt.pro when qmake'd produce a makefile.debug and .release? <= what did this mean?

And what is on your .pro line 23, as given in the second line of your output above? <= this problem is solved...was my mistake i missed one //

But did litecoin-qt.pro when qmake'd produce a makefile.debug and .release? That is the important part. The UPNP is on, is off is qmake "chatter" which is "to be determined".

And what is on your .pro line 23, as given in the second line of your output above?

See message #41

no...it doesnt work:

That warning can be fixed by using double-backslashes so C:\deps\boost_1_54_0 becomes C:\\deps\\boost_1_54_0. The problem you ran into is the LevelDB build, which you need to be doing via MinGW shell and have to comment out that part in the .pro file.

I also would be interessted in a toutorial or someting else to build the litecoin client on windows. I try it according to:

The Windows build instructions:

  -  Download the Qt Windows SDK and install it. You don't need the Symbian stuff, just the desktop Qt.
  -  Download and extract the dependencies archive [1], or compile openssl, boost and dbcxx yourself.
  -  Copy the contents of the folder "deps" to "X:\QtSDK\mingw", replace X:\ with the location where you installed the Qt SDK. Make sure that the contents of "deps\include" end up in the current    "include" directory.
  -  Open the bitcoin-qt.pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (ctrl-B)

But this dindt work. I've tried it with the QT Creator 5.1.0

Please Help someone

Have you a EasyWinBuilder for Litecoin ?

Does not have to be. Check out: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-easywinbuilder-the-easy-way-to-build-bitcoin-on-windows-252931 [ANN] EasyWinBuilder - The Easy Way to Build Bitcoin on Windows

I would like to get some feedback.

@nitrogenetics: Please let me know here or by pm if you mind me trolling your thread with EasyWinBuilder stuff

Incredible how hard is it to compilie a litecoin or bitcoin waltet on windows

On litecoin-qt.pro add this

But not work yet

For Litecoin compile, this dependens will be ok ?
What need to change to compile litecoin ?

Thanks for your tutorial! Everything works fantastic except point 4. Setup Qt 4.8.5 and compile Bitcoin-qt. After I add the dependency library locations:

# Dependency library locations can be customized with:
#    BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH, BOOST_LIB_PATH, BDB_INCLUDE_PATH,
#    BDB_LIB_PATH, OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH and OPENSSL_LIB_PATH respectively

BDB_LIB_PATH=C:\deps\db-4.8.30.NC\build_unix
OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e\include
OPENSSL_LIB_PATH=C:\deps\openssl-1.0.1e

I receive after “qmake "USE_UPNP=-" bitcoin-qt.pro”:

Have somebody an idea what’s going wrong? Thanks!!!!!

Make sure you build leveldb from a msys shell then comment out genleveldb.commands from bitcoin-qt.pro 

If the errors are true, and the OS can't find G++ and mingw32-make, then it would seem that the path you should have made in nitrogenetics message #1, step 1.3 no longer exists on your system, for whatever reason.

Why I recive this error on qt compilling ?

Thanks for the excellent guide.

Got stuck in a mingw prompt while trying to make boost but I figured it out. XD

 

Thanks Gavin, I saw how you did the Qt build in the pull-req but it seems I'm at least unable to build a debug version of Qt with -openssl-linked, will try a -release only version.

Edit: Seems the release version compiles just fine currently... yeah, finished.

Dia

I spent a bunch of time getting the mingw-cross-compiled Qt compiled with -openssl-linked for the payment protocol work (it uses QtNetwork to fetch PaymentRequest/PaymentACK messages via https).

The magic configure incantation was:

Nothing special needed to be done for the openssl build:



The payment protocol code add a couple more depedencies to Bitcoin-Qt:

+ QtNetwork with OpenSSL support
+ Google's protocol buffer library and compiler.
