Greetings once again.
Yesterday I decided the pick the (somewhat daunting) task to compile Bitcoin from source. So, I grabbed my tools, downloaded all the dependencies with the versions indicated in the
build-msw.txt file,
used this thread as a reference for the trickier stuff (Only changing the versions for the dependencies where it was relevant), compiled them (Screw you, Boost) and then... nada. Here's the output:
C:\bitcoin-bitcoin-f8937b2\src>mingw32-make bitcoin.exe bitcoind.exe -f makefile

This is not the first time I've tried compiling something like this, but certainly it is the first I've tried to do so in Windows, and the first time I've tried with a project this big, so I know I was asking for trouble.
From the output, the first I thought about (Given the declaration conflict) was that the headers were being added in the wrong order, but I tinkered a bit with that, no dice. Any more ideas?
Thanks in advance!
