Topic: Help Compiling Litecoin for Windows (Read 9708 times)
i was able to compile bitcoin and litecoin but litecoin crashes at start
I've compiled Bitcoind and Bitcoin-Qt AND PPCoind directly under Windows and MinGW.
How about litecoin?

May i suggest using gitian and gitian-win32 on linux and crosscompile, you will thank me later.

I appreciate that and I'll try that later on, I just know a lot of people have trouble doing this so I figured if I try to figure this out and document my efforts in this thread it'll help a lot of people down the road.
this is the berkeley DB include file, put it in your -I path.

Obviously, you need db_cxx.h somewhere in include dir. It's from berkeley db, as I remember.

Ok I successfully compiled the daemon, when I try to compile litecoin.exe here is what I get
Another daemon compile error, "Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows" says
3.3 From a Windows command prompt run:
cd C:\bitcoin\bitcoin-master\src
mingw32-make -f makefile.mingw
That's ok for bitcoin-master, litecoin0.6.3c gives me this error:
make (e=5): Access is denied
But it works from MinGw/MSYS shell.

damn, can't believe I didn't notice the lack of a U. That's copy and paste for you. I wondered why it didn't make a difference. 
Still with the method I mentioned above you can compile with UPNP support if you want it.

Sorry i made a mistake it has to be USE_UPNP=
Sorry for the forgotten "u"

OK figured out the correct way to resolve this issue by actually reading doc/build-msw.txt
Download this and extract to C:\deps
In a command prompt:
In your alt coins src folder open makefile.mingw and change the miniupnpc part to this:
The daemon should compile without problems after that regardless of whether or not you add USE_PNP= to the build parameters. You can even remove the comment on the line I mentioned in my previous post (if you added it).
Still trying to figure out why I can't get the wallet to compile though.
Download this and extract to C:\deps
In a command prompt:
Code:
cd C:\deps\miniupnpc-1.8.20130503
mingw32-make -f Makefile.mingw
mkdir miniupnpc
copy *.h miniupnpc
mingw32-make -f Makefile.mingw
mkdir miniupnpc
copy *.h miniupnpc
In your alt coins src folder open makefile.mingw and change the miniupnpc part to this:
Code:
ifdef USE_UPNP
INCLUDEPATHS += -I"C:\deps\miniupnpc-1.8.20130503"
LIBPATHS += -L"C:\deps\miniupnpc-1.8.20130503"
LIBS += -l miniupnpc -l iphlpapi
DEFS += -DSTATICLIB -DUSE_UPNP=$(USE_UPNP)
endif
INCLUDEPATHS += -I"C:\deps\miniupnpc-1.8.20130503"
LIBPATHS += -L"C:\deps\miniupnpc-1.8.20130503"
LIBS += -l miniupnpc -l iphlpapi
DEFS += -DSTATICLIB -DUSE_UPNP=$(USE_UPNP)
endif

I found commenting out this line worked:
At least when it came to compiling the daemon anyway.
Code:
USE_UPNP:=0

compile with USE_UPNP= at the end of compiling statement
will give that a shot when I get home today so basically your saying I should type into the command line the following
Quote
mingw32-make -f makefile.mingw USE_PNP=
correct
I got the same error, if I went into the source and commented out miniupnp.h would that be adviseable?

Bump for answers
New Problem, this one I think I know how to fix but thought I'd still post it cause I'm sure someone reading this thread in the future will have the same problem and will need the solution so if you know the solution please respond.
