It's possible to compile Bitcoin-Qt as well, done it already. Depending on your toolchain(GCC 4.7+), you may need to compile the Qt libraries from source, only takes about an hour or so. Then the rest is easy.
Please update the build-msw.txt 
Unfortunately I never tried building the qt client, I'll see if I can have a look at it and report back if I manage to build it successfully 
Great guide. Now that you're not a newbie anymore, consider moving it to "Development & Technical Discussion" so it doesn't get buried with all the other newbie threads. Also, is it possible to expand your guide to include building the qt client?
It works... Thanks for writing this guide.
Hi all, I recently went through the process of building bitcoind on windows.
I found the official build-msw.txt to be a bit lacking, so I thought that documenting the steps here on the forums could save some time to people wanting to compile their own windows binary.
Please note this is mostly for testing purposes. Always use official executables on production environments.
The following instructions are intended for use with version 0.9.4. See additional notes if compiling 0.10rc4 or an older 0.8.6 branch.
1. Prepare your build system.
I strongly suggest setting up a clean windows virtual machine via Virtualbox or similar.
1.1 Install msys shell:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get-setup.exe/download
From MinGW installation manager -> All packages -> MSYS
mark the following for installation:
msys-base-bin
msys-autoconf-bin
msys-automake-bin
msys-libtool-bin
then click on Installation -> Apply changes
Make sure no mingw packages are checked for installation or present from a previous install. Only the above msys packages should be installed. Also make sure that msys-gcc and msys-w32api packages are not installed.
1.2 Install MinGW-builds project toolchain:
Download http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.2/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-4.9.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z/download
and unpack it to C:\
1.3. Ensure that mingw-builds bin folder is set in your PATH environment variable. On Windows 7 your path should look something like:
1.4 Additional checks:
C:\MinGW\bin should contain nothing but mingw-get.exe.
Your gcc -v output should be:
2. Download, unpack and build required dependencies.
I'll save them in c:\deps folder.
2.1 OpenSSL: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1l.tar.gz
From a MinGw shell (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat), unpack the source archive with tar (this will avoid symlink issues) then configure and make:
2.2 Berkeley DB: http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
We'll use version 4.8 to preserve binary wallet compatibility.
From a MinGW shell unpack the source archive, configure and make:
2.3 Boost: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.57.0/
Download either the zip or the 7z archive, unpack boost inside your C:\deps folder, then bootstrap and compile from a Windows command prompt:
This will compile the required boost libraries and put them into the stage folder (C:\deps\boost_1_57_0\stage).
Note: make sure you don't use tarballs, as unix EOL markers can break batch files.
2.4 Miniupnpc: http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.9.20150206.tar.gz
Unpack Miniupnpc to C:\deps, rename containing folder from "miniupnpc-1.9.20150206" to "miniupnpc" then from a Windows command prompt:
2.5 protoc and libprotobuf:
Download https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v2.6.1/protobuf-2.6.1.tar.gz
Then from msys shell
2.6 qrencode:
Download and unpack http://download.sourceforge.net/libpng/libpng-1.6.16.tar.gz inside your deps folder then configure and make:
Download and unpack http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/qrencode-3.4.4.tar.gz inside your deps folder then configure and make:
2.7 Qt 5 libraries:
Qt must be configured with ssl and zlib support.
Download and unpack Qt base and tools sources:
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/submodules/qtbase-opensource-src-5.3.2.7z
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/5.3/5.3.2/submodules/qttools-opensource-src-5.3.2.7z
Then from a windows command prompt (note that the following assumes qtbase has been unpacked to C:\Qt\5.3.2 and qttools have been unpacked to C:\Qt\qttools-opensource-src-5.3.2):
Note: consider using -j switch with mingw32-make to speed up compilation process. On a quad core -j4 or -j5 should give the best results.
3. Download and unpack Bitcoin 0.9.4 from git https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.9.4.zip
From msys shell configure and make bitcoin:
Additional notes:
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/4.9.2/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.9.2-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev1.7z/download
All dependencies must be rebuilt with the above toolchain.
Openssl should be configured for:
instead of:
Bitcoin v0.10rc4
Since v0.10 Bitcoin depends on gmp: https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz
Compile it in a msys shell
Then add relevant CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS when configuring Bitcoin:
Compiling with unit tests
In order to build unit tests you will need the following:
-boost
Boost must be configured with --with-test option also.
-hexdump
To generate test data an hexdump like program is needed.
Download and unpack https://github.com/wahern/hexdump then compile hexdump.exe by running:
Do not forget to add hexdump folder to your PATH environment variable.
-bitcoin
In order to work with the previously compiled hexdump version Makefile must be patched (src/Makefile.test.include if v0.10, src/Makefile.include if v0.9):
bitcoin must be configured without --disable-tests option.
Additional notes for older Bitcoin 0.8.6 (may be useful for Bitcoin based altcoins)
msys-autoconf, msys-automake and msys-libtool at step 1.1 are not needed. You can skip steps 2.5 and 2.7.
Note that openssl v1.0.1k and later may lead to consesus forks:
http://sourceforge.net/p/bitcoin/mailman/message/33221963/
Compile bitcoind 0.8.6: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/archive/v0.8.6.zip
With a texteditor edit BOOST_SUFFIX, INCLUDEPATHS and LIBPATHS in your C:\bitcoin-0.8.6\src\makefile.mingw according to your dependencies location:
and add -static option to LDFLAGS in makefile.mingw to compile a statically linked executable.
makefile.mingw patch:
Upnp support is disabled by default. If you want to compile with upnp support set and add miniupnpc path to INCLUDEPATHS and LIBPATHS:
From Msys shell compile bitcoind:
Compile bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 with Qt 4.8:
Download and unpack http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.zip
Note that due to a bug in qt 4.8.6 you will need to explicitly enable windows styles: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-38706
Assuming qt sources have been unpacked to C:\Qt\4.8.6, from a windows command prompt:
Note that if you skipped bitcoind compilation or if you have cleaned up your source folder you will need to compile libleveldb.a and libmemenv.a libraries before proceeding.
From msys shell:
Edit C:\bitcoin-0.8.6\bitcoin-qt.pro with your favourite text editor and add
dependency library locations:
Comment out genleveldb.commands for win32
flags for static build:
bitcoin-qt.pro patch:
From a windows command prompt configure and make:

2. Download, unpack and build required dependencies.
I'll save them in c:\deps folder.
2.1 OpenSSL: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1l.tar.gz
From a MinGw shell (C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat), unpack the source archive with tar (this will avoid symlink issues) then configure and make:
Code:
cd /c/deps/
tar xvfz openssl-1.0.1l.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.1l
./Configure no-zlib no-shared no-dso no-krb5 no-camellia no-capieng no-cast no-cms no-dtls1 no-gost no-gmp no-heartbeats no-idea no-jpake no-md2 no-mdc2 no-rc5 no-rdrand no-rfc3779 no-rsax no-sctp no-seed no-sha0 no-static_engine no-whirlpool no-rc2 no-rc4 no-ssl2 no-ssl3 mingw

bootstrap.bat mingw
b2 --build-type=complete --with-chrono --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-system --with-thread toolset=gcc variant=release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static stage
This will compile the required boost libraries and put them into the stage folder (C:\deps\boost_1_57_0\stage).
Note: make sure you don't use tarballs, as unix EOL markers can break batch files.
2.4 Miniupnpc: http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.9.20150206.tar.gz
Unpack Miniupnpc to C:\deps, rename containing folder from "miniupnpc-1.9.20150206" to "miniupnpc" then from a Windows command prompt:

Additional notes:
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/4.9.2/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.9.2-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev1.7z/download
All dependencies must be rebuilt with the above toolchain.
Openssl should be configured for:
Code:
mingw64
Code:
mingw
Bitcoin v0.10rc4
Since v0.10 Bitcoin depends on gmp: https://gmplib.org/download/gmp/gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz
Compile it in a msys shell
Code:
tar xvf gmp-6.0.0a.tar.xz
cd /c/deps/gmp-6.0.0
./configure --disable-shared
make
Then add relevant CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS when configuring Bitcoin:

Compiling with unit tests
In order to build unit tests you will need the following:
-boost
Boost must be configured with --with-test option also.
-hexdump
To generate test data an hexdump like program is needed.
Download and unpack https://github.com/wahern/hexdump then compile hexdump.exe by running:
Code:
gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Werror -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-unused-parameter hexdump.c -DHEXDUMP_MAIN -o hexdump.exe
-bitcoin
In order to work with the previously compiled hexdump version Makefile must be patched (src/Makefile.test.include if v0.10, src/Makefile.include if v0.9):
Code:

-L"/c/deps/db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix" \
-L"/c/deps/openssl-1.0.1j"
and add -static option to LDFLAGS in makefile.mingw to compile a statically linked executable.
Code:
LDFLAGS=-Wl,--dynamicbase -Wl,--nxcompat -Wl,--large-address-aware -static

From Msys shell compile bitcoind:
Code:
cd /c/bitcoin-0.8.6/src
make -f makefile.mingw
strip bitcoind.exe
Compile bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 with Qt 4.8:
Download and unpack http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.6/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.zip
Note that due to a bug in qt 4.8.6 you will need to explicitly enable windows styles: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-38706
Assuming qt sources have been unpacked to C:\Qt\4.8.6, from a windows command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\Qt\4.8.6

mingw32-make
Note that if you skipped bitcoind compilation or if you have cleaned up your source folder you will need to compile libleveldb.a and libmemenv.a libraries before proceeding.
From msys shell:
Code:
cd /C/bitcoin-0.8.6/src/leveldb
TARGET_OS=NATIVE_WINDOWS make libleveldb.a libmemenv.a
