Bitcoin: Build bitcoin-qt.exe on ubuntu 18.4

CRYPTOCURRENCY February 9, 2025 0

I can guide it through the construction process of Bitcoin-qt.exe in Ubuntu 18.4, first with the latest version (0.8.1) and then with previous versions. However, keep in mind that generating an executable for Bitcoin-qt.exe requires a little more complexity than simply compiling it.

Building Bitcoin-0.8.1

To build Bitcoin-0.8.1 in Ubuntu 18.4, you must install the ‘Build-Essential’ package that provides necessary tools for construction executables:

`Bash



SUDO APTO UPDATE

SUDO APT INSTALLATION -Y Libssl-Dev-Libz-Dev Libncrypt-Dev Churl Git construction



Now, download the Bitcoin source code [Bitcoin.org] ( and follow these steps to compile it in Ubuntu 18.4:


 Clone the repository : Clone the Bitcoin repository using git:

Bash



Git clone  bitcoin-0.8.1




 Change in the Board of Directors : Change in the newly cloned directory:

Bash



CD Bitcoin-0.8.1

Build Bitcoin : Build Bitcoin using theMakecommand (this will take some time depending on its CPU and RAM):

Bash



Make -J $ (NPROC)

This means being building for architecture x86_64, but you can specify the destination architecture adding-t :

Bash



do -J $ (NPROC) -T ARM64

Configure Bitcoin
: You need to configure bitcoin using script 'configure:

`Bash



./configure --- Build = Linux-64-Host = Linux-64




 Make binary : Now, do the binaries for Linux (32 bits):

Bash



Make -J $ (NPROC)




 Install : Install the resulting binaries and libraries:

Bash



SUDO MAKE INSTALL



 Building Bitcoin-0.8.1 (with previous versions) 

If you want to build Bitcoin-0.8.1 from a different version, you must follow these general steps again, but with the specific version number and the necessary changes for that version:

Bash






For 0.7.x or before

SUDO APTO UPDATE

SUDO APT INSTALLATION -Y Libssl-Dev-Libz-Dev Libncrypt-Dev Churl Git construction

CD Bitcoin-0.8.1

Checkout git

Build bitcoin using theMakecommand (this will take some time depending on its CPU and RAM)



Make -J $ (NPROC)



Configure bitcoin

./configure --- Build = Linux-64-Host = Linux-64



Make binary

Make -J $ (NPROC)



Install

SUDO MAKE INSTALL

Replace<`with the specific version of Bitcoin you want to build.



 Generation of an executable windows file (.exe)

To generate an executable file for Bitcoin-qt.exe from any of these versions, we will usemsysbuild.exe(it is included with mingw) or cygwin:




 Build and configure : First, make sure the compilation process has been successfully completed.



 Install MSYS2 : If you are using Windows 10/11, install [MSYS2] ( in your system if you are not yet installed.

Obtain the Bitcoin source code : Download and remove the latest version of the Bitcoin source code [Bitcoin.org] ( in a directory where it can Execute msys2 commands easily, such asc: \ bitcoin(or any other adequate route for your system).

Navigate to the Bitcoin source code : Navigate to theBitcoin-0.8.1directory that was extracted during the compilation process.




 Build and install Cygwin libraries : Build and install Cygwin's necessary libraries:

Bash



CD C: \ Bitcoin \ Bitcoin-0.8.1



Install cygwin libraries if you haven't done it yet

msysbuild.exe -q installation -v bitcoin -devel



Now, build the executable

msysbuild.exe -q build -msys



Generate an executable windows file (.exe)

msysbuild.exe /p: config = debug /p:eutput=c:\bitcoinabitcoin-0.8.1\buildabitcoin.exe /p:out_dir=c:\bitcoinabito-0.8.1\builda

Replace the route in thec: \ Bitcoin \ Bitcoin-0.8.1 \ Build \ Bitcoin.
