Re: Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows

Anyone having problems linking with libQt5Gui.a?
I'm using 64bit binaries and have built the steps leading up to Qt qttools-opensource-src-5.3.2 with no issues. The link for Qtdiag.exe doesn't seem to want to work. I'm not an expert at this but know the basics and have managed to get up to here with no errors. I've followed the current instructions as they are (great guide btw!).

I'm wondering how many have actually installed using 64bit. My next step will be to try with 32 if I can't get this resolved. Google searches show a similar problem but so far none resolved.

It has been a while since I did a 64bit build. I'll give it a try and report back.

Can you be more specific & detail as to what needs to change in has_binary_operator.hpp

Try wrapping has_binary_operator.hpp code inside an #ifndef Q_MOC_RUN statement:

Code:

--- has_binary_operator.hpp Thu Oct 30 11:47:21 2014
+++ has_binary_operator.hpp Mon Jan 05 23:58:51 2015

Thanks I see it went further but still getting error after some time...

Here is my updated file has_binary_operator.hpp looks like...

Hi bitcoinrulzz,
You put the last #endif to a wrong line. Put it at the end of file instead, it should work then. (check again nitrogenetics's answer)

Thanks it went further, now getting this error...

I hope this error makes any sense?

Btw, if using "USE_UPNP=-" option, then no issues.
