Bitcoin Cross-compilation failed with errors in notification.cpp

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behaviour

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl git installed all the dependencies in dependencies.md sudo apt install nsis git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git cd bitcoin sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix

selected the 'posix' variant for both. sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') cd depends make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j9 cd .. ./autogen.sh CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/ make -j9

Expected behaviour

For Linux, the build was successful and the QT wallet is working correctly, but when I tried to build for Windows, the problem started with several errors in notificator.cpp, which is located in the qt folder.

Steps to reproduce

btcf0

It's something related to Qt dependencies.

@DebianUser007

selected the 'posix' variant for both. sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:/mnt.*//g')

Those lines could be skipped on your system.

Those lines could be skipped on your system. so I do not need to select the 'posix' variant for both of these sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc ? also another question i do not need to do it when i build on debian you said but it is the doc for win build PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:/mnt.*//g') ? Really appreciate your answer and help here from you guys

You can follow the existing documentation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md

Make sure to select the right version in the dropdown of the documentation for the commit you want to compile.

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc

What version of Bitcoin Core are you using?

latest

The latest build documentation does not suggest any update-alternatives commands.

maybe I should choose auto mode which is win32

No. The Bitcoin Core uses the posix thread model.

DebianUser007 commented 6 months ago

Since I'm cross-compiling Bitcoin (which is UNIX-style software) on Debian for Windows, I though the ‘posix’ variant is likely the more appropriate choice. Also this is not the first time I go with Posix when I cross compile Linux softwares for Windows.

Closing for now. Feel free to leave a comment, if there is an issue with the build-windows.md documentation.

No. The Bitcoin Core uses the posix thread model. the default auto mode is win32 not posix

posix

After 3 days of hard work day and night, I figured it out and built it on the latest version (version 12) of Debian Bookwork for Windows and macOS. I read all the documentation, but for Debian Bookwork the documentation on Github didn't help me much. Last but not the least, I didn't want to change my OS or downgrade to an older version as I use this OS daily for my work.

A pull request with documentation improvements is always welcome.
