Compilers Supported

-------------------

MinGW GCC (v3.4.5)

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 SP6





Dependencies

------------

Libraries you need to obtain separately to build:



              default path   download

wxWidgets      \wxWidgets     http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/

OpenSSL        \OpenSSL       http://www.openssl.org/source/

Berkeley DB    \DB            http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html

Boost          \Boost         http://www.boost.org/users/download/



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





OpenSSL

-------

Bitcoin does not use any encryption.  If you want to do a no-everything

build of OpenSSL to exclude encryption routines, a few patches are required.

(OpenSSL v0.9.8h)



Edit engines\e_gmp.c and put this #ifndef around #include <openssl/rsa.h>

  #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_RSA

  #include <openssl/rsa.h>

  #endif



Add this to crypto\err\err_all.c before the ERR_load_crypto_strings line:

  void ERR_load_RSA_strings(void) { }



Edit ms\mingw32.bat and replace the Configure line's parameters with this

no-everything list.  You have to put this in the batch file because batch

files can't handle more than 9 parameters.

  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



Also REM out the following line in ms\mingw32.bat.  The build fails after it's

already finished building libeay32, which is all we care about, but the

failure aborts the script before it runs dllwrap to generate libeay32.dll.

  REM  if errorlevel 1 goto end



Build

  ms\mingw32.bat



If you want to use it with MSVC, generate the .lib file

  lib /machine:i386 /def:ms\libeay32.def /out:out\libeay32.lib





Berkeley DB

-----------

MinGW with MSYS:

cd \DB\build_unix

sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx

make





Boost

-----

You may need Boost version 1.35 to build with MSVC 6.0.  I couldn't get

version 1.37 to compile with MSVC 6.0.
