Windows - Visual Studio 2013

Prerequisites

  • Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Update 1 (the free Express edition will work)
  • If you have multiple MSVS installation use MSVS Developer console from target version.
  • You can build either Windows 64bit binaries.

Set up the directory structure

  • Clone the Achain repository: 
    With version 1.6.5 of Git and later, you can use:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Achain-Dev/Achain.git
cd Achain

For already cloned repos, or older Git versions, use:
git clone https://github.com/Achain-Dev/Achain.git
cd Achain
git submodule update --init --recursive

Achain depends on some third party libraries - you could directly downloaded these prebuilt binary package(s)

  • download the 3rd-party libraries through following command:
    git clone https://github.com/Achain-Dev/lib.git or just download the lib2.0 release packages

  • and then unzip the files into the lib directory of Achain source code

Build the library dependencies - Skip if you downloaded the prebuilt binary package(s)

  • Download the 1.59 boost version (currently used) source from http://www.boost.org/users/download/ Build boost libraries from boost source code(required for 64bit builds only):

    cd D:\Achain\boost
bootstrap.bat
b2.exe toolset=msvc-12.0 variant=debug,release link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared address-model=32

    The file D:\Achain\Achain\libraries\fc\CMakeLists.txt has the FIND_PACKAGE(Boost ...) command that makes CMake link in Boost. That file contains the line:

    set(Boost_USE_DEBUG_PYTHON ON)

    Edit this file and comment this line out (with a #). This line tells CMake to look for a boost library that was built with b2.exe link=shared python-debugging=on. That would cause debug builds to have -gyd mangled into their filename. We don't need python debugging here, so we didn't give the python-debugging argument to b2.exe, and that causes our boost debug libraries to have -gd mangled into the filename instead. If this option in fc\CMakeLists.txt doesn't match the way you compiled boost, CMake won't be able to find the debug version of the boost libraries, and you'll get some strange errors when you try to run the debug version of Achain.

  • Download the latest OpenSSL source from http://www.openssl.org/source/ Build OpenSSL DLLs

    cd D:\Achain\openssl-1.0.1g
perl Configure --openssldir=D:\Achain\OpenSSL VC-WIN32
ms\do_ms.bat
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak
nmake -f ms\ntdll.mak install

    This will create the directory D:\Achain\OpenSSL with the libraries, DLLs, and header files.

Build Achain

  • Launch Visual Studio and load D:\Achain\Achain\Achain.sln for 64 bit builds.

  • Build Solution
