[Bitcoin-development] Building BDB on MingW

[Bitcoin-development] Building BDB on MingW

[Amir Taaki]

I followed the instructions from build-msw.txt and am getting the same issue from here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45507.0


MSYS shell:

cd /c/db-4.8.30.NC-mgw/build_unix
sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
make

$ make

./libtool --mode=compile gcc -c -I. -I../dist/..  -O3  ../dist/../mutex/mut_win32.c
libtool: compile:  gcc -c -I. -I../dist/.. -O3 ../dist/../mutex/mut_win32.c  -DDLL_EXPORT -DPIC -o .libs/mut_win32.o
In file included from ./db_int.h:886:0,
                 from ../dist/../mutex/mut_win32.c:12:
../dist/../dbinc/repmgr.h:502:13: error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
../dist/../dbinc/repmgr.h:502:1: warning: useless type name in empty declaration
make: *** [mut_win32.lo] Error 1[/quote]

Any ideas? Sadly the proposed fix in that thread didn't work.

Thanks. Using --disable-thread_api --disable-replication got it to compile, but now when actually running bitcoind it throws DbRunRecoveryException over the DB_RUNRECOVERY flag.

It seems people aren't actually using MingW to compile bitcoind on Windows? The lack of pthreads seems crippling and there's lots of missing functions like strncasecmp, _strlwr, _fileno and swprintf.
