WINDOWS BUILD NOTES

Compilers Supported

Compilation under Windows is supported using MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/)

Dependencies

To build HondaisCoin for Windows, there are number of libraries you need to download separately and build. Note that, for those used to a Linux/UNIX background, the search paths for include files is not the conventional UNIX directories, see http://www.mingw.org/wiki/IncludePathHOWTO for more details. Library files can be placed in the more conventional /usr/local/lib directory, but see http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Specify_the_Location_of_Libraries_for_use_with_MinGW in case of difficulties.

In both cases, include and library files will need to be placed in the relevant directories for the build process to succeed.

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-1.0.1l-mgw
./config
make

Berkeley DB

MSYS shell:

cd /c/db-5.1.29.NC-mgw/build_unix
sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
make

Include and library files files should then be placed into MinGW search paths, for example:

Include: C:\MinGW\lib\gcc\mingw32\4.8.1\include\c++ Library: C:\MinGW\lib

Boost

MSYS shell:

cd boost_1_55_0/tools/build/v2/engine
./build.sh mingw
cp bin.ntx86/bjam.exe ../../../../
cd ../../../../
bjam --toolset=gcc

In case of problems, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13256788/building-boost-1-52-with-mingw may be useful

MiniUPnPc

UPnP support is optional, make with USE_UPNP= to disable it.

MSYS shell:

cd /c/miniupnpc-1.6-mgw
make -f Makefile.mingw
mkdir miniupnpc
cp *.h miniupnpc/

HondaisCoin

MSYS shell:

hondaiscoin
./autogen.sh
BOOST_ROOT=../boost_1_55_0 ./configure --disable-tests
mingw32-make
strip hondaiscoind.exe
