Re: (Now At Github) Bitcoin 0.8.6 for *VS2013* (32 and 64 bit) and Qt5.2

Hi all,
On 3/13/2014 ~ 12:00 EST, the leveldb dragon has been slain, and bitcoind now works in debug and release mode! Much more to follow, stay tuned...

Videos on how to build your own BerkeleyDB 4.8.30, OpenSSL, Boost 1.53 (that one is easy!) and levelDB1.12 static multi-threaded libraries for MSVC++ 2005 or later (2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) Express or full. And yes, *coind.exe's work too!

Hello all,

I promised videos on MSVC++ static library building for bitcoind.exe & *coind.exe --
and here they are:
http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCytoaHvG3H1y9CnxZS819eQ

The links to the sources to build bitcoind.exe 0.8.6 are given in message # 43:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=349094.msg6284139#msg6284139

The last video on actually building bitcoind.exe and one other *coind.exe using those libraries is almost done, but those practiced in the art probably won't need it Grin

I would be interested in feedback. And I would hope that this allows a stampeding herd of Windows developers to jump in and contribute to the bitcoin and other *coin projects.

Hi all,

I couldn't wait any longer... Yes there are a few faux pas etc. but I think the ideas are clear. Here is the video series on building bitcoind.exe and YACoind.exe using MSVS and C++ on windows:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFnWb0ttBBMLyUuniLp3PJ5Mn4tVUlliZ
there are 4 static library building videos, all short, and a two part finale Smiley

Hope this helps those that are "gcc desperate" Grin

I'm just offering an alternative to the current methods. It passes the unit test too, BTW.
