Building Bitcoin Core with Visual Studio
Introduction
Solution and project files to build the Bitcoin Core applications (except Qt dependent ones) with Visual Studio 2017 can be found in the build_msvc directory.
Building with Visual Studio is an alternative to the Linux based cross-compiler build.
Dependencies
A number of open source libraries are required in order to be able to build Bitcoin.
Options for installing the dependencies in a Visual Studio compatible manner are:
- Use Microsoft's vcpkg to download the source packages and build locally. This is the recommended approach.
- Download the source code, build each dependency, add the required include paths, link libraries and binary tools to the Visual Studio project files.
- Use nuget packages with the understanding that any binary files have been compiled by an untrusted third party.
The external dependencies required for the Visual Studio build are (see the dependencies doc for versions):
- Berkeley DB,
- OpenSSL,
- Boost,
- libevent,
- ZeroMQ
Additional dependencies required from the bitcoin-core github repository are:
- SECP256K1,
- LevelDB
Building
The instructions below use vcpkg to install the dependencies.
- Clone and vcpkg from the github repository and install as per the instructions in the main README.md.
- Install the required packages (replace x64 with x86 as required):
- Install the required dependencies with vcpkg:
PS >.\vcpkg install boost:x64-windows-static `
libevent:x64-windows-static `
openssl:x64-windows-static `
zeromq:x64-windows-static `
berkeleydb:x64-windows-static `
secp256k1:x64-windows-static `
leveldb:x64-windows-static
- Build in Visual Studio.
