Cross Compiling not directly compiling with installer #10909

globaltoken commented at 12:17 PM on July 22, 2017: none

Hello,

How to Cross Compile directly into that Bitcoin setup.exe for Windows? I think with Gitian Building its working, but not with Cross Compiling?

If I compile I get only single files with .exe but how to compile that they are directly in the setup wizard .exe for windows ?

Cheers.

Have you tried make deploy when cross-compiling with MinGW?

Hi,

No - never tried, I'm building under Ubuntu x64 14.04 LTS I followed these steps:

cd depends make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32 cd .. ./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/ make # means directly make deplay or make && make deploy ?

means directly make deplay or make && make deploy ?

Doesn't really matter. But do make deploy directly.

Okay, I will test it and let you know.

Okay I did it but where are the .exe Files located? Cant find them :(

They should be on the root level (IIRC). Maybe post the output of your make deploy.

Okay, the thing was if I directly run make deploy, he didn't build the binaries. Just if I make "make" It builds the binaries. So I did make && make deploy and I think you mean with root level the Folder where the Files like makefile.am, autogen.sh and so on are right?

because i checked and didn't found them, am I missing some dependencies maybe? I installed all which was descripted in build-windows.md

Cheers.

Why is it closed now ?

Can you post your make deploy output? Can you add V=1 to make (verbose)?

I receive this:

Seems that QT is not building and thats why its failed. If I compile without deploy it works ?

I tried cross compilation and got linux executable files instead exe!?

cd depends make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 cd .. ./autogen.sh CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/ make make install DESTDIR=/myexe

I see linux files instead exe in /myexe folder
