Compiling Qt Windows Wallet Error

[Brewin95]

Been Trying To Compile This Wallet For Over A Week And Keep Getting Errors Either About db.h Or Build/Bitcoin.o. But Below is the latest output error that i have is it possible to get any help to fix this error

Apparently you do not have Boost libraries. Install Boost first and then try again.

[Brewin95]

i have boost installed i have tried Boost_1_55_0 and Boost_1_64_0

What Boost has them files in? the ones i have are mgw46

@Brewin95 Can you show the pro file?

dont have enough privileges to upload the file so there its is all the code

@Brewin95 The paths to Boost lib are fix in that pro file, so you either put Boost in exactly same directories or adjust the pro file to your set-up.

@Brewin95 said in Compiling Qt Windows Wallet Error:

}

Pretty scary using an application that uses hard coded dependency paths like that. That's definitely a software engineering "no no".

Like @jsulm said, just put your boost in c:/deps or change that block I quoted to point to your boost. Looks like you need qrencode and miniupnpc as well as a few other deps too.

Their build process leaves a lot to be desired. I'd be nervous of code like this. Especially for something like a crypto currency wallet. But that's outside the scope of the question. :)

@ambershark so i did a complete rebuild and now im getting this error

@Brewin95 said in Compiling Qt Windows Wallet Error:

boost/version.hpp: No such file or directory

Did you try to locate this file in your Boost installation?
"unrecognized command line option '-std=gnu++11'" - did you change anything in pro file to define the C++ standard?

Ok so im back on track now so forget all above,
the error i have now is
C:\deps\hyper-v2-master\src\db.h:18: error: db_cxx.h: No such file or directory

I Fix this error by adding ..\deps\db-6.2.32.NC -I to the INCPATH
then i get these errors

error: cannot find -ldb_cxx
error: cannot find -lboost_system-mgw63-mt-s-1_55
error: cannot find -lboost_filesystem-mgw63-mt-s-1_55

For this one you need to tell it where to find the library. Something like LIBS += -L../deps/db-6.2.32.NC/path/to/lib.

These mean you still don't have boost in the right directory or if you do then the files it is looking to link to are not correct. Or you are trying to link to libs that are not built with the same compiler as you are building your current project with.
