This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for use in
the OpenSSL Toolkit (http://www.openssl.org/). This product includes
cryptographic software written by Eric Young (eay@cryptsoft.com).
Compilers Supported
-------------------
MinGW GCC
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/
or prebuilt: http://wxpack.sourceforge.net
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
Notes
-----
The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. Open the project file
uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base
classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements.
The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoin.exe" to strip the debug
symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
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 take more than 9 command line 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
-----------
Using MinGW and MSYS:
cd \db\build_unix
sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
make
Boost
-----
If you have trouble compiling Boost with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, try going
back to Boost version 1.35. It looks like they may be starting to reduce
support for MSVC 6.0.
