WINDOWS BUILD NOTES =================== Compilers Supported ------------------- MinGW GCC http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ TDM-GCC with gcc 4.5.1 was used to build this release. MSYS 1.0.11 was also used (sh needed to compile some dependencies) Candidate releases were built with MSVC 10.0 (2010), but compiling with Visual C++ caused rendering artifacts when bitcoin was run. Dependencies ------------ Libraries you need to download separately and build: default path download wxWidgets \wxwidgets-2.9.1-mgw http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ OpenSSL \openssl-1.0.0d-mgw http://www.openssl.org/source/ Berkeley DB \db-4.7.25.NC-mgw http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html Boost \boost-1.43.0-mgw http://www.boost.org/users/download/ miniupnpc \upnpc-exe-win32-20110215 http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/ Their licenses: wxWidgets LGPL 2.1 with very liberal exceptions OpenSSL Old BSD license with the problematic advertising requirement Berkeley DB New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source Boost MIT-like license miniupnpc New (3-clause) BSD license Versions used in this release: wxWidgets 2.9.1 OpenSSL 1.0.0d Berkeley DB 4.7.25.NC Boost 1.43.0 miniupnpc 1.5-20110215 Notes ----- The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. The project file is uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements. wxWidgets --------- DOS shell: cd \wxWidgets-2.9.1-mgw\build\msw mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc OpenSSL ------- 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-1.0.0d-mgw ./config make Berkeley DB ----------- MSYS shell: cd /c/db-4.7.25.NC-mgw/build_unix sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx make Boost ----- DOS prompt: downloaded boost jam 3.1.18 cd \boost-1.43.0-mgw bjam toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage Note: building with boost 1.45.0 failed because of boost ticket 4614, 4258 builds fine with boost 1.43.0 MiniUPnPc --------- Building miniupnpc failed on Windows Server 2003, thus it is expected that a binary copy will be used. See http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=642 UPnP support is optional, make with USE_UPNP= to disable it.
