Awesome. That was what I was looking for.
Hoped it would work without a vm, but at least it doesn't involve installing windows.
Thanks for sharing! +1


It should work without a virtual machine (probably). 

Thanks should go to Laanwj for writing the guide.

Instructions for doing a gitian build with virtual box were added to the docs directory recently.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md

Gitian runs in a virtual machine, so you are running a virtual machine in a virtual machine.  That means that it is pretty slow.

I know that you can compile windows apps in linux using mingw.
Has anyone managed to compile a windows wallet under linux, yet?
I tried the search, and I googled, but I couldn't find anything useful on that topic.

I don't want to setup a windows machine just for compiling, there has to be a way to build it on my linux box.
Thanks alot!
