My notes from TRYING to do this:
- If you have never used command-line compile tools before, prepare to be baffled and befuddled. This is not a nice clean GUI where you hit the compile button, wait a few seconds, and go try your executable. Thankfully, I've used gcc before, so I wasn't completely out of my element
- Expect the whole process from learning to downloading to compiling to troubleshooting, to take HOURS. I'm not kidding. These makefiles build THOUSANDS of object files, of which bitcoin probably uses a tiny percentage. Boost is the worst of them all. Just start the make and let it run overnight.
- Before running the steps outlined in the earlier post, I recommend you get yourself a github account, and follow their instructions to download and install "git" and set up your own sandbox (fork) of the bitcoin source. This will involve yet even more baffling command lines that need to be copied and run exactly as written on the github guide to getting started
- Do not watch the scroll of status messages going by during the eternity it takes to compile everything. You will see countless frightening-sounding warnings which will only confuse you
- Do not expect a nice little "all done, everything went ok!" message at the end of a long compilation. The nice ones just stop printing status messages, and you are supposed to know from the acres of text above that nothing bad happened. The others are less nice . . .
- Boost finally finished compiling with this very comforting message:
- At the end of the make for openssl, the linker returned a very fatal-sounding
- Finally, I tried compiling bitcoin (ha!) - as you might expect, it wasn't happy. The error message was:
Linux compile tools let you stand on the shoulders of giants, but the giants all have Asperger's.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found buffer.h in the includes directory for openssl, so I copied that directory out and renamed it "openssl" which I then put everywhere I could think of. No luck.headers.h:38:28: fatal error: openssl/buffer.h: No such file or directory

Great guide! TY!
The makefile now appears to look for C:\openssl-1.0.0d-mgw instead of C:\openssl-1.0.0c-mgw and it was failing on that. But just a minor speed bump.
Again, thanks!

I went through all the steps and finally when I did make -f makefile.mingw I got this:
I tried copying the boost folder to the bitcoin src directory but got the same error... I don't know where I need to move it to in order for it to be found.

The makefile is looking for the boost folder at C:\boost-1.43.0-mgw . It's possible that there is a typo or something.
Wow you're right thanks, I didn't notice that until you mentioned it. I just extracted and added -mgw to the dir name without realising it's called boost_1_43_0-mgw.

You should strip bitcoin.exe. That should help.
Gotcha. A more manageable 7.5MB now. Cheers!
90MB .exe but it seems to work fine.
You should strip bitcoin.exe. That should help. Don't know, never seen it. Make sure you have a libdb_cxx.a in C:\db-4.7.25.NC-mgw\build_unix.
There was no libdb_cxx.a indeed. I recompiled C:\db-4.7.25.NC-mgw\ and the file was there now. Not sure what happened. Anyway, the good news is that it compiled successfully! Thanks.

Nice work.
So I followed the steps on an XP machine and during the final compilation of Bitcoin, I get this error message:
Probably something fishy with Berkeley DB, but I'm not clear how to fix this. Thanks for any help.

@BlueMatt Thank you very much for the instructions, I'm following them to build Namecoin. Just a note, I'm building on Windows 7 64bit and I had to add the "address-module=32" parameters to the boost build in order for it to compile without error.
Code:
\bjam\bjam.exe toolset=gcc address-model=32 --build-type=complete stage
Kind of sad that 100 BTC has to be offered for this, someone really needs to rewrite the build process. Oh well, here goes:
Install:
Download:
Note that the reason for using the binary miniupnpc release is that I was unable to get it to build on my system.
Add C:\MinGW\bin to your PATH environment variable (Google is your friend as it depends on your Windows Version).
In the DOS Shell:
wxWidgets:
Boost:
In the msys Shell (MinGW shell in your start folder or C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\msys.bat):
OpenSSL:Copy the libeay32.dll file to the folder where you are building/running bitcoin.
Berkeley DB:
Bitcoin
If you wish to use git to pull keep a local repository, you'll have to download msgit from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/detail?name=Git-1.7.4-preview20110204.exe&can=2&q=.
Otherwise, you can download the latest zip of bitcoin from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/zipball/master
In the msys shell, cd to the unzipped location andRun with ./bitcoin.exe (make sure you have the libeay32.dll in bitcoin folder)
Install:
- MinGW Automated Installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get-inst/mingw-get-inst-20110316/mingw-get-inst-20110316.exe/download. Install with the C++ and MSYS options checked.
- Activestate Perl (for building openssl) from http://www.activestate.com/activeperl/downloads. You don't need anything except ActivePerl and Perl, none of the other fancy crap. You do want to add Perl to your PATH (its an option in the installer).
Download:
- WxWidgets 2.9.1: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/2.9.1/wxWidgets-2.9.1.zip/download. Unzip to C:\wxWidgets-2.9.1-mgw
- OpenSSL 1.0.0d: http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz. Untar to C:\openssl-1.0.0c-mgw (yes bitcoin is designed to build with 1.0.0c, but might as well use the latest version since it works right?) Hint: untar using the tar binary which is included in MinGW using cd \c\ && tar xvvf \c\Users\Matt\Downloads\openssl-1.0.0d.tar.gz && mv openssl-1.0.0d openssl-1.0.0c-mgw in the msys shell
- Berkeley DB 4.7.25 NC: http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.7.25.NC.zip. Unzip to C:\db-4.7.25.NC-mgw
- Boost 1.43.0: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.43.0/boost_1_43_0.zip/download. Unzip to C:\boost-1.43.0-mgw
- Boost Jam: http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-jam/3.1.18/boost-jam-3.1.18-1-ntx86.zip/download. Unzip wherever you like, I used C:\bjam
- miniUPnPc binary http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/download.php?file=upnpc-exe-win32-20110215.zip. Unzip to C:\upnpc-exe-win32-20110215
- miniUPnPc source http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.5.20110215.tar.gz. Untar to C:\upnpc-exe-win32-20110215\miniupnpc (you only need *.h, but the others won't hurt) untar with cd \c\upnpc-exe-win32-20110215 && tar xvvf \c\Users\Matt\Downloads\miniupnpc-1.5.20110215.tar.gz && mv miniupnpc-1.5.20110215 miniupnpc
