Build-Bitcoind-on-Microsoft-Windows.md

@ -1,144 +0,0 @@
#### Note: the following instructions are **out of date** and of purely historical interest. They apply to an older version of Bitcoin Core patched for watch-only addresses before watch-only support was officially released. Instead of attempting to build from source, Windows users are now advised to install a prebuilt Bitcoin Core binary from bitcoin.org.
##### Note: If during the compilation process you get "Missing Disk" pop-up error messages and have a card reader installed, you should temporarily disconnect your card reader.
##### Note: The following instructions assume you'll be unpacking all archives to `C:\`, the root directory on most Windows installations. If you choose to unpack to another location, the `cd` commands must be adjusted accordingly.
#### 1. Build OpenSSL
Note: Skip this step if you already built OpenSSL in Step 2 of [**Install MMGen
and Its Dependencies**][07].
Grab the [latest tarball][08] from the [openssl.org download page][09] and unpack
it. At the MSYS prompt, run:
$ cd /c/openssl-1.0.1g
$ ./config --openssldir=/usr
$ make
$ make install
#### 2. Build the Berkeley Database (v5.0):
Grab the [v5.0 tarball][01], or browse the [download page][02] for other
versions (avoid v4.8, which has issues with Windows; versions newer than 5.0
may work, but they're untested by the author). Unpack the archive and run
the following at the MSYS prompt:
$ cd /c/db-5.0.32/build_unix
$ ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx --disable-replication --prefix=/usr
Open the source file `db.h` in your editor. Change the statement on line 116:
typedef pthread_t db_threadid_t;
to read:
typedef u_int32_t db_threadid_t;
**Note:** since `db.h` is created by `configure`, this must be done **after**
`configure` is run.
Save the file and run `make` and `make install`.
#### 3. Install the MASM assembler (optional but recommended):
Get the file [MASMsetup.exe][03] from the Microsoft website. With a tool
like 7zip, open the cab file inside and the file inside it, which begins with
`FL_ml_exe*`. Copy this file to your path, renaming it to `ml.exe`.
#### 4. Build the Boost libraries:
Get the boost [tarball][04] from sourceforge and unpack it. At the DOS prompt,
run:
cd \boost_1_55_0
boostrap.bat
bjam toolset=gcc link=static threading=single --build-type=minimal stage --with-system --with-filesystem --with-program_options --with-chrono --with-test
bjam toolset=gcc link=static threading=multi --build-type=minimal stage --with-thread
These commands build just the few libraries you need, avoiding the
time-consuming process of compiling the whole boost package.
#### 5. Build Bitcoind:
Download Sipa's watchonly bitcoind [zip archive][05] (commit #a13f1e8 [[check][]])
from GitHub and unpack it. At the MSYS prompt, run:
$ cd /c/bitcoin-watchonly
Make the following edits to `src/leveldb/Makefile`:
> After the the statement `include build_config.mk`, add the following line:
SOURCES=$(shell echo db/*.cc util/*.cc table/*.cc)
> Change the line:
LIBOBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cc=.o)
> to read:
LIBOBJECTS = $(SOURCES:.cc=.o) port/port_win.o
> Change the line:
all: $(SHARED) $(LIBRARY)
> to read:
all: $(LIBRARY)
Edit the following files,
src/rpcdump.cpp
src/rpcnet.cpp
src/rpcwallet.cpp
src/wallet.cpp
src/walletdb.cpp
adding the line `#include <winsock2.h>` near the top of each file, above
the first `#include` statement.
At the MSYS prompt, run the following commands (this needs to be done just
once):
$ cp /mingw/bin/autoreconf-2.68 /mingw/bin/autoreconf
$ cp /mingw/bin/autoconf-2.68 /mingw/bin/autoconf
$ cp /mingw/bin/automake-1.11 /mingw/bin/automake
$ cp /mingw/bin/aclocal-1.11 /mingw/bin/aclocal
$ cp /bin/true.exe /bin/hexdump.exe
Generate the `configure` script:
$ sh autogen.sh
Edit the just-created `configure` script, adding the line:
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS $BOOST_CPPFLAGS"
after the line:
LIBS="$LIBS $BOOST_LIBS $BOOST_CHRONO_LIB"
From the prompt, run `configure` and `make` with the arguments provided below:
$ ./configure --without-qt --with-incompatible-bdb CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include LDFLAGS="-static -L/usr/lib -Wl,--allow-multiple-definition" BOOST_ROOT=/c/boost_1_55_0
$ make src/bitcoind.exe
Strip the executable (`strip src/bitcoind.exe`), copy it to your path and test
that the command `bitcoind` works. You may want to use the `-datadir` option to
point to the planned location of your `bitcoin.conf` file, wallet and blockchain.
Of these files, the only one you need to create is `bitcoind.conf`. If this file
or its required user and password and lines are missing, `bitcoind` will exit
with an error message instructing you how to create it.

@ -1,40 +0,0 @@
***NOTE: these deprecated MSWin installation instructions are provided for
informational purposes only. They require an [older version][ov] of MMGen which
lacks many current features such as Subwallets and Ethereum support. Use at
your own risk!***
### Install MMGen under MinGW-64 (Windows 7 and later) (DEPRECATED)
Complete these three steps:
> 1. Install [MinGW-64 and MSYS][01], if you haven't already;
> 2. Install [MMGen's dependencies][02] (excluding the bitcoin daemons) and MMGen itself; and
> 3. [Install the offline and online bitcoin daemons (bitcoind)][07]. Note that
Bitcoin Core v0.16.3 or older must be used. More recent versions of the
Core daemon will not work.
### Install MMGen under MSYS (Windows XP) (DEPRECATED)
***Windows XP warning: MMGen is no longer officially supported on Windows XP due
to incompatibilities with the Crypto.Random module. The scripts run, but the
security of your random numbers cannot be guaranteed. Use at your own risk.***
Complete these three steps:
> 1. Install [MinGW and MSYS][03], if you haven't already;

***Warning: though the MMGen installation process on Windows has become easier,
it still requires patience, and the user experience is less than optimal.
You're urged to use the prebuilt [MMGenLive][20] USB image instead. It's now
the preferred way for all non-Linux users to run MMGen.***
### 1. Create the build directory:
Enter your MSYS environment, create the directory `/build` and move to it.
This is where you'll be unpacking and building archives:
$ mkdir /build
$ cd /build
If the machine you're installing on is online, you can download the various
tarballs and zipped archives you need from the Internet exactly as described in
the instructions below. If you're offline, you'll need to download them first
on another machine and then transfer them to the install computer using a USB
stick, for example.
In either case, you'll probably be downloading the archives to a folder
somewhere outside the root of your MSYS filesystem. To access it within MSYS,
use `/c/` for drive `C:`, `/d/` for drive `D:` and so forth. A full path to an
archive would thus look something like this:
`/c/my_downloaded_archives/archive_name.tar.gz`.
### 2. Build OpenSSL:
Grab the v1.0.x [tarball][06] from openssl.org, unpack and build:
$ tar -xzf <path to openssl archive>/openssl-1.0.2j.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.0.2j
$ ./Configure mingw64 --openssldir=/usr
$ make
$ make install
### 3. Build the Scrypt Python module:
The latest scrypt tarball available from [Python][07] at this writing
(scrypt-0.8.0.tar.gz) has missing files and doesn't build, so grab the latest
[zipfile][07z] from the scrypt source repository, unzip and build:
$ cd /build
$ unzip <path to scrypt archive>/91d194b6a6bd.zip
$ cd mhallin-py-scrypt-91d194b6a6bd
Open the file `setup.py` in your text editor. Change the line reading
from setuptools import setup, Extension
to read
from distutils.core import setup, Extension
Right before the line beginning with
scrypt_module = Extension(
add the following lines (with no indentation):
library_dirs = [r'c:\mingw64\x86_64-w4-mingw32\lib','/msys/lib']
includes = [r'c:\msys\include']
Save `setup.py`, build and install:
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ python setup.py install
Now, to solve a problem with the interpreter not finding the scrypt extension
module, we have to do this little fixup:
$ cd /mingw/opt/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ unzip scrypt*.egg
### 4. Build the pycrypto Python module:
Download the latest pycrypto [tarball][02] from the Python website and unpack it:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to pycrypto archive>/pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz
$ cd pycrypto-2.6.1
Open the file `setup.py` in your text editor. Remove *exactly* four spaces at
the beginning of this line:
self.__remove_extensions(["CryptoPublicKey._fastmath"])
to move it one level of indentation to the left. Save the file and exit the
editor. Now build and install:
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ python setup.py install
### 5. Install the ecdsa Python module:
Grab the latest python-ecdsa [tarball][03], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to ecdsa archive>/ecdsa-0.13.tar.gz
$ cd ecdsa-0.13
$ python setup.py install
### 6. Install the ed25519ll Python module (required for Monero address generation):
Grab the latest ed25519ll [tarball][43], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to ed25519ll archive>/ed25519ll-0.6.tar.gz
$ cd ed25519ll-0.6
Open the file `setup.py` in your text editor. Change the line reading
plat_name = get_platform().replace('-', '_')
to read
plat_name = 'win64'
Exit the editor and run:
$ python setup.py install
### 7. Install the pysha3 Python module (required for Monero and Ethereum address generation):
Grab the latest pysha3 [tarball][44], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to pysha3 archive>/pysha3-1.0.2.tar.gz
$ cd pysha3-1.0.2
$ python setup.py install
### 8. Install the colorama Python module:
Grab the latest colorama [tarball][14], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to colorama archive>/colorama-0.3.7.tar.gz
$ cd colorama-0.3.7
$ python setup.py install
### 9. Install the pexpect Python module (needed for test suite):
Grab the latest pexpect [tarball][15], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to pexpect archive>/pexpect-4.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd pexpect-4.2.1
$ python setup.py install
### 10. Install sdelete utility (needed for secure wallet deletion):
Grab the latest SDelete [zip archive][16], unzip and copy `sdelete.exe` to
your execution path (`c:\windows`, for example).
### 11. Build libsecp256k1:
Libsecp256k1 requires GNU autotools to build, and they're not included in the
MinGW-64 distribution for some reason, so you'll have to retrieve and unpack
them yourself. You'll need these archives:
> * [autoconf][31]
> * [automake][32]
> * [libtool][33]
Unpack them in your /mingw directory and fix up some filenames:
$ cd /mingw
$ tar -xzf <path to>/autoconf2.5-2.68-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
$ tar -xzf <path to>/automake1.11-1.11.1-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
$ tar -xzf <path to>/libtool-2.4-1-mingw32-bin.tar.lzma
$ cd bin
$ cp autoconf-* autoconf
$ cp automake-* automake
$ cp aclocal-* aclocal
$ cp autoreconf-* autoreconf
Now get the latest libsecp256k1 [zip archive][11] from GitHub, unpack, build and
install:
$ cd /build
$ unzip.exe <path to libsecp256k1 archive>/master.zip
$ cd secp256k1-master
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
### 12. Install MMGen:
Get the [zip archive][10] of the latest stable version from GitHub, unpack and install:
$ cd /build
$ unzip.exe <path to mmgen archive>/stable_mingw.zip
$ cd mmgen-stable_mingw
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ sudo ./setup.py install
After first installing and starting the [Bitcoin daemon][77], you may then run
the MMGen test suite to make sure your installation's working:
$ test/test.py -s

### 1. Install the Python interpreter:
Grab the [Windows 32-bit installer][09] and run it, accepting the defaults.
Add the Python base and Scripts directories to your [path][08], e.g.
`C:\Python27;C:\Python27\Scripts`.
### 1. Create the build directory:
Enter your MSYS environment, create the directory `/c/build` and move to it.
This is where you'll be unpacking and building archives:
$ mkdir /build
$ cd /build
### 2. Build OpenSSL:
Grab the v1.0.x [tarball][06] from openssl.org, unpack and build:
$ tar.exe -xzf <path to openssl archive>/openssl-1.0.2j.tar.gz
$ cd openssl-1.0.2j
$ ./config --openssldir=/usr
$ make
$ make install
### 3. Build the Scrypt Python module:
The latest scrypt tarball available from [Python][07] at this writing
(scrypt-0.8.0.tar.gz) has missing files and doesn't build, so grab the latest
[source zipfile][07z] from the scrypt repository, unzip and build:
$ cd /build
$ unzip <path to scrypt archive>/91d194b6a6bd.zip
$ cd mhallin-py-scrypt-91d194b6a6bd
Open the file `setup.py` in your text editor. Right before the line beginning
with
scrypt_module = Extension(
add the following lines (with no indentation):
library_dirs = [r'c:\msys\lib',r'c:\windows\system32']
includes = [r'c:\msys\include']
Save `setup.py`, build and install:
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ python setup.py install
You can ignore the error messages at the end of the build.
Now, to solve a problem with the interpreter not finding the scrypt extension
module, we have to do this little workaround:
$ cd /c/Python27/lib/site-packages
$ unzip scrypt*.egg
### 4. Build the pycrypto Python module:
Download the latest pycrypto [tarball][02] from the Python website, unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to pycrypto archive>/pycrypto-2.6.1.tar.gz
$ cd pycrypto-2.6.1
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ python setup.py install
### 5. Install the ecdsa Python module:
Grab the latest python-ecdsa [tarball][03], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to ecdsa archive>/ecdsa-0.13.tar.gz
$ cd ecdsa-0.13
$ python setup.py install
### 7. Install the colorama Python module (optional but recommended):
Grab the colorama [tarball][14], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to colorama archive>/colorama-0.3.7.tar.gz
$ cd /c/colorama-0.3.7
$ python setup.py install
### 8. Install the pexpect Python module (needed for test suite):
Grab the latest pexpect [tarball][15], unpack and build:
$ cd /build
$ tar -xzf <path to pexpect archive>/pexpect-4.2.1.tar.gz
$ cd pexpect-4.2.1
$ python setup.py install
### 9. Build libsecp256k1:
First you need to fix up some filenames for your build to work:
$ cd /mingw/bin
$ cp autoconf-* autoconf
$ cp automake-* automake
$ cp aclocal-* aclocal
$ cp autoreconf-* autoreconf
Now get the latest libsecp256k1 [zip archive][11] from GitHub, unpack, build and
install:
$ cd /build
$ unzip.exe <path to libsecp256k1 archive>/master.zip
$ cd secp256k1-master
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
### 10. Install MMGen:
Get the [zip archive][10] from GitHub, unpack and install:
$ cd /build
$ unzip.exe <path to mmgen archive>/stable_mingw.zip
$ cd mmgen-stable_mingw
$ python setup.py build --compiler=mingw32
$ python setup.py install
After first installing and starting the [Bitcoin daemon][77], you may then run
the MMGen test suite to make sure your installation's working:

MinGW-64 (Minimal GNU for Windows) provides the gcc compiler and related tools
for compiling source code into Windows binaries. MSYS provides a Unix-like
environment under Windows with basic commands and utilities. MinGW-64 and MSYS
were originally part of the same project and are designed to be used together.
Download the latest [MSYS zip archive][01] and [MinGW-64 7-zip archive][02]
provided by the MinGW-64 team. To unpack the latter you'll need the program
[7-zip][03].
After unzipping both archives to `C:\` (assuming that's the root of your
filesystem), you'll have two new directory trees at `C:\msys` and `C:\mingw64`.
Open Power Shell and type the command `C:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login` to launch
your MSYS environment.
To avoid having to type this command by hand each time you enter MSYS, you're
advised to create a launcher icon. Copy the “PowerShell” icon, rename the copy
to “MSYS”, right click on the icon, and add the above command to the end of the
existing command line after a space.
Note: This version of MSYS comes with the Vim editor preinstalled. If you're an
experienced Vim user or have read the [primer][11] and feel you know what you're
doing, then proceed onward. Otherwise, you should install an easier-to use
[text editor][00] before continuing with the installation.
Execute the command
mkdir -p /c/mingw620/x86_64-620-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1/mingw64
Using your text editor within MSYS, create the file `/etc/fstab.conf` with the
following two lines:
c:/mingw64 /mingw
c:/mingw64 /c/mingw620/x86_64-620-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1/mingw64
Execute the command `mount /mingw`
MSYS is a Unix-like environment. If you're new to Unix, you're advised to learn
[a few basic commands][04].

MinGW (Minimal GNU for Windows) provides the gcc compiler and related tools for
compiling source code into Windows binaries. MSYS provides a Unix-like
environment with basic Unix shell commands. MinGW and MSYS are part of the same
project and are designed to be used together.
Complete hypertexted lists of the required MinGW and MSYS archive files are
provided below for convenient downloading. Save the archives into two separate
temporary directories (`mingw` and `msys`, for example).
These lists were checked and known to work at the time of this writing (December
2016). More recent versions of the files are available in the [MinGW
repository][01], and an auto-installer can be found there as well. However,
these instructions will work on an offline computer, while the auto-installer
will not.
> * [MinGW archive list][02]
> * [MSYS archive list][03]
Unpack the basic-bsdtar archive (in the MinGW archives) and copy the executable
`basic-bsdtar.exe` to your path (e.g. `C:\windows`).
From the DOS prompt (i.e. “Command Line”), create the two base directories and
move to the first of them:
> mkdir C:\mingw
> mkdir C:\msys
> cd C:\mingw
Unpack all the MinGW archives (except basic-bsdtar) by executing the following
command for each archive:
> basic-bsdtar.exe -xf <path to MinGW archives>/<archive name>
Now move the MSYS base directory:
> cd C:\msys
and unpack each MSYS archive in the same way:
> basic-bsdtar.exe -xf <path to MSYS archives>/<archive name>
Add `C:\mingw\bin` to your user path. Consult [this page][05] for instructions
on how to do that.
Close the Command Prompt window and open a new one. Type the command
`C:\msys\bin\bash.exe --login` to launch your MSYS environment.
To avoid having to type this command by hand each time you enter MSYS, you're
advised to create a launcher icon. Copy the “Command Prompt” icon, rename the
copy to “MSYS”, right click on the icon, and add the above command to the end of
the existing command line after a space.
Note: At this point you must install a [text editor][00] before continuing
with your installation.
Using your text editor within MSYS, create the file `/etc/fstab` with a
single line: `c:/mingw /mingw`. Execute the command `mount /mingw`
MSYS is a Unix-like environment. If you're new to Unix, you're advised to learn
[a few basic commands][04].
