Hey guys, I've followed all the steps and still stuck on something related to the Berkeley DB.

When I run configure it says:

"checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... no"
"configure: error: libdb_cxx headers missing"

Also, was wondering in the instructions, in the Berkeley DB part, why are we building under "build_unix", rather than "build_windows"?

Thanks.

Are you including the correct bdb folder when configuring? Did bdb compile fine?
Since we are compiling on a "unix like" system (msys) we build under build_unix. build_windows assumes you are building on visual studio.

yes, its all installed and configured. heres a screenshot of that folder, the file lrelease.exe doesent seem to exist?

Did you compile qt 4.8.6 from source? See "Compile bitcoin-qt 0.8.6 with Qt 4.8" on first post.

In step 2.4 miniupnpc-1.9.20150206.tar.gz does not include miniupnpcstrings.h and it looks for this file on make. So You have to create the file and put in something like:

Code:

/* $Id: miniupnpcstrings.h,v 1.3 2009/06/04 09:05:56 nanard Exp $ */
/* Project: miniupnp
* http://miniupnp.free.fr/ or http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/
* Author: Thomas Bernard
* Copyright (c) 2005-2009 Thomas Bernard
* This software is subjects to the conditions detailed

#ifndef __MINIUPNPCSTRINGS_H__
#define __MINIUPNPCSTRINGS_H__

#define OS_STRING "OpenBSD/4.3"
#define MINIUPNPC_VERSION_STRING "1.3"

#endif

miniupnpcstrings.h will be automatically generated when compiling from cmd on windows as specified at step 2.4. You will need to manually create it if compiling from msys (or when crosscompiling on linux for windows, if I remember correctly).

I also had a nasty error that said that it couldn't find the entry point of a throw exception in libstdc++-6.dll in both the QT compilation and the protobuf compilation. I found that I had to delete libstdc++.dll inside of C:\mingw32\lib\gcc\i686-w64-mingw32\4.9.2 because it was trying to link against a different version of std c++ lib which already exists as libstdc++-6.dll inside of C:\mingw32\bin

Sounds like a misconfiguration (old toolchain version remnants?) of your build environment, or lack of make clean when rebuilding dependencies. Also make sure all dependencies are built by the same toolchain.
