4 This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in
5 the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/). This product includes
6 cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
14 MinGW GCC (recommended)
15 http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ has an easy installer. Go back a few versions
16 for a little older gcc like gcc 4.4.?.
18 MSVC 8.0 (2005) SP1 has been tested. Note: MSVC 7.0 and up have a habit of
19 linking to runtime DLLs that are not installed on XP by default.
24 Libraries you need to download separately and build:
27 wxWidgets-2.9 \wxwidgets http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
28 OpenSSL \openssl http://www.openssl.org/source/
29 Berkeley DB \db http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html
30 Boost \boost http://www.boost.org/users/download/
33 wxWidgets LGPL 2.1 with very liberal exceptions
34 OpenSSL Old BSD license with the problematic advertising requirement
35 Berkeley DB New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source
36 Boost MIT-like license
38 Versions used in this release:
48 The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. The project file is
49 uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base
50 classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements.
52 The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoin.exe" to strip the debug
53 symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
58 cd \wxwidgets\build\msw
66 Bitcoin does not use any encryption. If you want to do a no-everything
67 build of OpenSSL to exclude encryption routines, a few patches are required.
68 (instructions for OpenSSL v0.9.8k)
70 Edit engines\e_gmp.c and engines\e_capi.c and add this #ifndef around
71 the openssl/rsa.h include:
72 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_RSA
73 #include <openssl/rsa.h>
76 Edit ms\mingw32.bat and replace the Configure line's parameters with this
77 no-everything list. You have to put this in the batch file because batch
78 files can't take more than nine command line parameters.
79 perl Configure mingw threads no-rc2 no-rc4 no-rc5 no-idea no-des no-bf no-cast no-aes no-camellia no-seed no-rsa no-dh
81 Also REM out the following line in ms\mingw32.bat after the mingw32-make
82 line. The build fails after it's already finished building libeay32, which
83 is all we care about, but the failure aborts the script before it runs
84 dllwrap to generate libeay32.dll.
85 REM if errorlevel 1 goto end
91 If you want to use it with MSVC, generate the .lib file
92 lib /machine:i386 /def:ms\libeay32.def /out:out\libeay32.lib
