Currently I don't have the time to properly support and improve EasyWinBuilder, sorry. Feel free to fork.


EasyWinBuilder v0.7 for Bitcoin Core

Download environment software, all dependencies and build Bitcoin automatically. To run simply double click __all_easywinbuilder.bat or manually start the batch files in order.

If you have ever built Bitcoin on Windows you probably know it can be a pain. Hopefully these scripts will make things a little easier. Note that the official Windows binaries are cross compiled on Linux.

EasyWinBuilder can run on a mint windows system (e.g. a virtual machine) or a normal system. It might overwrite your MinGW or Qt installation, though. Please note the process takes about 1.5 hours (i3 with SSD) and will need about 3GB of hard drive space. All automatic downloads are now verified against included hashes.

Edit set_vars.bat to change the Bitcoin version or build similarly structured altcoins and to change directories and dependency versions. Also run downloadhashes_create.sh from within MSYS.

Based on build instructions by nitrogenetics (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0), Matt Corallo and others
