Thank you, EricJ2190.
I tried to build with your makefile and achieved success.
I tried to build with your makefile and achieved success.
I got it to build and run using the following modified version of makefile.vc:
If you use this, you'll want to set INCLUDEPATHS and LIBPATHS to your own library locations.
The changes I made are:
Also, for wxWidgets, make sure you either edit config.vc to make a release build before building, or modify this makefile to use the default debug build.
Edit: Spoke too soon. After running for a few seconds, my Bitcoin build is being terminated by DEP. This applies to both bitcoin.exe and bitcoind.exe.I'll look into this more later.
It appears the issue was with MiniUPnP. I have been completely unsuccessful of making my own build of miniupnpc.lib using VC, so I built it without UPnP entirely. In order to build Bitcoin without USE_UPNP defined, I had to make a small modification to net.cpp by added the following lines after the MapPort function:
More Edit: D'oh! I forgot to copy the MiniUPnP DLL to the same directory as bitcoin.exe when using the prebuilt MiniUPnP. That solves the DEP issue.

If you use this, you'll want to set INCLUDEPATHS and LIBPATHS to your own library locations.
The changes I made are:
- Updated location of resources used to build ui.res.
- Moved list of CryptoPP objects from OBJ to its own CRYPTOPP_OBJ since they don't have seperate nogui versions.
- Added MiniUPnP library and USE_UPNP define.
- Added NOMAXMIN define to remove certain incompatible macros.
Also, for wxWidgets, make sure you either edit config.vc to make a release build before building, or modify this makefile to use the default debug build.
Edit: Spoke too soon. After running for a few seconds, my Bitcoin build is being terminated by DEP. This applies to both bitcoin.exe and bitcoind.exe.
It appears the issue was with MiniUPnP. I have been completely unsuccessful of making my own build of miniupnpc.lib using VC, so I built it without UPnP entirely. In order to build Bitcoin without USE_UPNP defined, I had to make a small modification to net.cpp by added the following lines after the MapPort function:
Code:
#else
void MapPort(bool fMapPort) {}
This gives a us MapPort function to use when USE_UPNP is not defined.void MapPort(bool fMapPort) {}
More Edit: D'oh! I forgot to copy the MiniUPnP DLL to the same directory as bitcoin.exe when using the prebuilt MiniUPnP. That solves the DEP issue.
It has been a while since I last built Bitcoin on MSVC. I tried to do it today so I could explain how I did it, and it seems the VC makefile is broken. I am going work on trying to fix it up, and I'll let you know when I get it to compile.
If you haven't done so, you need to edit your makefile to make sure it's INCLUDEPATHS and LIBPATHS point to the proper directory of your libraries.
If that isn't it, can you post the error?

After launch Bitcoin.exe throws an Access violation exception in function _initterm_e. It even not enters in WinMain function.

Could you show your parameters of compilation\linking?

Hi all!
I am trying to build bitcoin with VC2010 Express. It compiles but doesn't work.
I think the problem is in inconsistency between compilation/linking keys of libraries and bitcoin.
As far as I understand, there are many guys here who builds bitcoin with some version
of Visual Studio. Could you help me, please? I want to build buitcoin with any Visual Studio version.
Could you share your project file and tell how you build libraries?
Or maybe there is a ready link for this?
I build libraries in this way:
cd wxWidgets-2.9.1\build\msw
nmake -f makefile.vc
cd openssl-1.0.0d
perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-asm
ms\do_ms
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
db-4.7.25.NC\build_windows\Berkeley_DB.dsw
cd boost-1.43.0
bootstrap (makes bjam)
bjam toolset=msvc-10.0 threading=multi --build-type=complete stage
Get upnpc-exe-win32-20110215.zip and unzip it to \upnpc-exe-win32-20110215
Get miniupnpc-1.5.20110215.tar.gz and copy *.h to \upnpc-exe-win32-20110215\miniupnpc
Thanks!
