Bitcoin core will not compile on Windows 11 #25195

   LordOfDisdain commented at 7:37 am on May 24, 2022: none

   I have ran into several issues during my compiling of Bitcoin. I have tried to compile this thing but each time I try to do so, there is a new issue. For reference I am using Ubuntu Bash terminal to compile Bitcoin. My operating system is Windows 11 and I have tried everything I know to troubleshoot this issue. I have downloaded clang, mingw g++ and I will attach the a photo to explain this issue. Each time I try to use the ./configure, ./autogen.sh and sudo make, there seems to be issues and this will not compile at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you! PS. I have also created a virtual environment and I have installed the necessary tools for it as well.

   I have also created a virtual environment

   Do you mean WSL?

   WSL? I’m lost with the acronyms at times.

   I mean, there are two supported ways to build Bitcoin Core on Windows:

   • using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
   • using Microsoft VS tools

   I was trying to understand what does “using Ubuntu Bash terminal to compile Bitcoin” mean exactly…

   I understand now. I was using the WSL because my OS is Windows 11.

   Ok. From you screenshot it is not clear if you follow https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md#building-for-64-bit-windows, especially, building depends

   0cd depends
   1make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
   2cd ..
   

   ?

   I did not follow that. I will look into that and if I have some issues I will update this issue list. Thanks!

    I am still having issues with the install. I always get this error MakeFile: 741. I’ll attach the config log. Also I have one other question. How do I use this bash script exactly: PATH=$(echo “$PATH” | sed -e ’s/:/mnt.*//g’) # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var sudo bash -c “echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status” # Disable WSL support for Win32 applications. 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 # use “-j N” for N parallel jobs sudo bash -c “echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status” # Enable WSL support for Win32 applications.

    Do I use that in the configure script or am I misunderstanding something. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

    Here is the config log! My apologizes for not attaching it in the prior message. Uploading config.log…
