Compiling for windows

Prefer native mingw instructions, cygwin builds are known to have issues.

  1. Install cygwin from http://cygwin.com/

  2. During setup the following packages must be selected:

  3. autoconf
  4. automake
  5. libboost-devel
  6. libdb4.8-devel
  7. libtool
  8. gcc-g++
  9. git
  10. make
  11. openssl-devel
  12. tar

  13. (add here missing packages)

  14. Download twister from github

git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-core.git

cd twister-core

  1. Compile twisterd

./bootstrap.sh

make

  1. Create .twister directory and download HTML UI

mkdir ~/.twister

cd ~/.twister

git clone https://github.com/miguelfreitas/twister-html.git html

  1. Now configure your username and password for the daemon:

echo -e "rpcuser=user\nrpcpassword=pwd" > ~/.twister/twister.conf

(NOTE: The username/password combo seems temporarily hardcoded. Also, if you receive an error message about "cygwin1.dll", add your cygwin path to the PATH environmental variable, eg. "C:\Cygwin64\bin".)

  1. Run the daemon:

./twisterd -daemon -rpcuser=user -rpcpassword=pwd -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

  1. Open http://127.0.0.1:28332/index.html and use the user/pwd credentials.

Notes

  • windows users are reporting problems to bootstrap the network (no connections). Try to manually add peer from one of the following seeder (try both "add peer" and "add dns"): seed.twister.net.co seed2.twister.net.co seed3.twister.net.co dnsseed.gombadi.com

  • You may need to edit file /usr/lib/libdb_cxx-4.8.la to remove a wrong dependency (cygwin bug).

  • Replace: dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.la -lpthread /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.5.3/libstdc++.la'

  • With: dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/libdb-4.8.la -lpthread'

  • The following dlls are needed in order to run twisterd.exe (the file is inside .libs directory):

cygboost_filesystem-mt-1_53.dll cygboost_system-mt-1_53.dll cygcrypto-1.0.0.dll cygdb_cxx-4.8.dll cygssl-1.0.0.dll cygwin1.dll cygboost_program_options-mt-1_53.dll cygboost_thread-mt-1_53.dll cygdb-4.8.dll cyggcc_s-1.dll cygstdc++-6.dll cygz.dll

@wrewolf can build in clean Win XP SP3 x86 with latest cygwin (with upper note /), but modify original cygwin headers and insert defines from win32 headers. insert in file /usr/include/cygwin/in6.h lines from /usr/include/w32api/ws2ipdef.h
