Here's a copy of my Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit VMware Image for anyone that wants it. You will need atleast VMware 10 installed.

Thank you for the share, it is pure gold, i have been trying and i have could compile three altcoins wallets without problems, i have only a question about if it is possible to have installed qt4 and qt 5 and not have problems with compilation.
Have you tried it?

thanks again

first i want to say very good guide and thanks for it aswell! but i am having an issue when i try to run the compile-blk.sh file i get the following error

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 5: blackcoin-qt.pro: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

i dont know what else to do i am stuck does anyone have any advice?

Something is most likely named incorrectly. Check all spelling matches

i have checked everything, i didnt even type any of the commands i copied and pasted them all i also checked my path environment variable to make sure it was correct and it is, i dont know what else there is

EDIT new error which i think may have the same thing to do with the first

Code:

./compile-blk.sh: line 6: i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

Just add the "RANLIB=...." as shown below:

make install

I'm having a similar issue but its this

/src/leveldb/libmemenv.a: error adding symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

im assuming its another place in the compile, but im trying to add ranlib in both compiles and still no luck. an suggestions (sorry for digging up an old thread, but its the only one that makes sense, and im still downloading the amazon image hendo420 has.

thank you

I cleared up the path issue, but now I'm getting this error when I compile blackcoin:

Code:

Morning,

I decided to give this a try since I'm new to the whole bitcoin / altcoin scene. This is the error I am getting when I try to compile, and I didnt see a Makefile.Release...

Code:

[build]     qtxlsxwriter         i686-w64-mingw32.static                        
[done]      qtxlsxwriter         i686-w64-mingw32.static                                    156204 KiB     0m57.310s
[no-build]  qt5                  i686-w64-mingw32.static
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
./compile-blk.sh: line 6: i686-w64-mingw32.static-qmake-qt5: command not found
make: Makefile.Release: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.Release'.  Stop.

Which step am I missing?

I am compiling this using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64

Verify that your PATH env var contains the correct location for mxe

Code:

export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH

Hello. Having some fun testing our making a QT file. I'm having the same issue as the other person. What exactly do I have to correct? The "export PATH=/mnt/mxe/usr/bin:$PATH" or a line in compile-m.sh?

I followed your instructions to a tee and all the files are in the same place as yours. I'm on a fresh install of Ubuntu. I get the same error as the user above.

Thanks for your help! Guide is excellent.

Thanks, this tutorial looks really well-documented. Because i think it's really intresting to compile your own wallets, i'm going to replicate this scenario this weekend to see if everything works Grin

How would you code if you wanted to require a minimum version of a wallet to connect to the network?
such a only allow version 1.0.0.1 to connect

That's not really related to this topic.

Are you meaning this though?

In fact, thanks to mezzovide, you no longer need to build bdb separately.

Hi,

I developed a method for building BitcoinDark using mxe several months ago with help from fsb4000 and mezzovide.

You can see the automated build process here: https://github.com/jl777/btcd/blob/master/libjl777/make_win32.sh

Mezzovide in supernet slack even created a custom mxe package for building bdb 4.8: https://github.com/jl777/btcd/blob/master/libjl777/mxepatch/bdb48.mk

After you do this, export your path to mxe/usr/bin and make your coin:

https://github.com/jl777/btcd/blob/master/libjl777/Makefile.win

Quote

btcd: ../src/BitcoinDarkd-$(OS).exe; \
cd ../src; $(MAKE) clean -f Makefile.win OS=$(OS); cd leveldb; $(MAKE) clean; cd ..; $(MAKE) -f Makefile.win OS=$(OS); strip BitcoinDarkd-$(OS).exe; cp BitcoinDarkd-$(OS).exe $(BINPATH)/$(OS)/BitcoinDarkd.exe

Nice tutorial. Thanks!

There is a small mistake and think you should change this step:

Install mxe dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt-get install apt-get install autoconf automake autopoint bash bison bzip2 cmake flex gettext git g++ gperf intltool libffi-dev libtool libltdl-dev libssl-dev libxml-parser-perl make openssl patch perl pkg-config python ruby scons sed unzip wget xz-utils

To

Code:

sudo apt-get install autoconf automake autopoint bash bison bzip2 p7zip-full cmake flex gettext git g++ gperf intltool libffi-dev libtool libltdl-dev libssl-dev libxml-parser-perl make openssl patch perl pkg-config python ruby scons sed unzip wget xz-utils

The apt-get install is duplicated and it is missing 7-Zip.
