Topic: Compile a windows -qt or daemon (Read 675 times)
The one for BTC can be used but its very hard to do at first. Then if the code is changed a bit where it looks for a dependancy somewhere else than where you installed... ahhh good times. you get good after all the copy paste that used to happen .
I'm looking for an up-to-date and detailed guide to building on windows, so I'll post on this thread if I find one
There are some rough instructions in the Bitcoin source under /docs
Rough instructions, but not very detailed.
Is it good to compile on a VM?
IIrc gitian is used for the bitcoin-qt client releases and i guess many altcoin devs use it too: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/GitianVBox/

get the allin1 package codeblocks/mingw. its all 1 download installer with the codeblocks IDE and the mingw C/CPP compiler
Thanks. But that's for the daemon not Qt, right?it should compile anything that you have the source code for, assuming the code was built for the compiler's architecture.
In other words, if the compiler is trying to spit out an .exe binary for windows, the source code must be for windows.
Coins are made to be for Windows, mac, and Linux, so what would happen?

How does one compile a coin from source on Windows? It seems as if it can only be done easily on Linux.
Came here to ask that exact same question. Can some one help a couple of noobs out?
