Topic: Question about compiling a coin under windows (Read 757 times)

Thanks. Can you give a typical command to compile in windows. Also set the environmental variables

yeah, create a 'deps' folder in C: then throw them in there 

thanks, based on the explanation in the file, it does not mention where to save the dependencies

I put all the dependencies in a file called "deps" on my C: drive. I don't think that there is any special place that you have to put them.

any update

I try to compile the egoldcoin, it looks like I need to download:
OpenSSL         \openssl-1.0.1b-mgw        http://www.openssl.org/source/
Berkeley DB     \db-4.8.30.NC-mgw          http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html
Boost           \boost-1.47.0-mgw          http://www.boost.org/users/download/
miniupnpc       \miniupnpc-1.6-mgw         http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/

after I download, do I need to save the files dorectly under C drive? like:
C:\openssl-1.0.1b-mgw
c:\db-4.8.30.NC-mgw
c:\boost-1.47.0-mgw 
c:\miniupnpc-1.6-mgw   

also, the versions hard to find?
OpenSSL      1.0.1b
Berkeley DB  4.8.30.NC
Boost        1.47.0
miniupnpc    1.6

MSYS shell:
un-tar sources with MSYS 'tar xfz' to avoid issue with symlinks (OpenSSL ticket 2377)
change 'MAKE' env. variable from 'C:\MinGW32\bin\mingw32-make.exe' to '/c/MinGW32/bin/mingw32-make.exe'

cd /c/openssl-1.0.1b-mgw
./config
make
