Lendri: It was the stupid dollar system, like first there is inflation but there is also the problem that you can't really use your money against the US or monarchies backed by it without being censord or prisoned

Then found Luke Smith

And realised that monero is the solution

gingeropolous: How many hashes did it give you?

I was disabled in 2016 and needed a project to pass the time whilst I was laid up. I bought a few ethereum for $12 just to play with but when I realized they had commandeered the DAO hack funds with a hard fork I left and discovered Monero. Been addicted ever since, and am not disabled any more

The only thing I miss about those early Monero days was Ric being more active in the community. Miss you fluffypony

hiii

you have to change int to DWORD here

then compile again

i changed switch (retval) to switch ((DWORD)retval) before

but monero-cpp couldn't build

monero part was building

try to apply this exact patch

that's why i did checkout to monero-cpp/v0.7.0

and updated submodules again

okii

building again

linking monerod.exe rn

thank you for help btw <3

which branch did you build now?

monero-cpp/external/monero-project of monero-cpp/v0.7.0

now im gonna build monero-cpp's itself

did you find the libwallet.a ?

im loooking for that

but i noticed something

Build monero-project twice to create libwallet_merged.a and other .a libraries, e.g.: cd $MONERO_CPP/external/monero-project && make release-static -j8 && make release-static -j8

i was curious about why this command doing the same thing twice times

i just read the description

but still didn't understand why is that

might just be a build thing

i did "make debug-static-win64 -j8 && make debug-static-win64 -j8" again

but there is no something like "libwallet"

now doing "./bin/build_libmonero_cpp.sh"

this ruins my CPU

even my mouse is stuttering lol

probably uses all cores

i did -j4

hmm

my CPU is i7 10750h which is 6 cores 12 threads

oh no i did -j4 for previous command

now i just did ./bin/build_libmonero_cpp.sh

i need a better CPU

i assume this shell script uses all cores

probably

my notebook is crying lol

yessss

same error

what error?

dword?

copying :(

it's best to start on linux if you have access to a laptop with it

windows makes everything extra complicated :P

yesss :(

maybe about MinGW's abstractions for Windows :(

i don't remember seeing these cryptonightR undefined references before so.. only thing i can say is try linux lol

do you think it will be still problematic to cross-build it to Windows and other targets on Linux?

what do you currently do?

we are looking for a way to use this library for a wallet that will be deployed to ios, android, and windows/desktop ultimately selsta

so we need to get it build for windows somehow

a wallet app

but I think MeowingCat is doing development work on windows too

woodser wrote monero-cpp so it's best to ask him

i can only help with monero itself

ok, thanks for trying

i can build it on WSL

if it is possible

to cross-compile

I don't think monero builds on wsl for some reason

i mean i don't even know if this library was ever tested on windows

WSL2 is a VM

it is same to Linux running directly

you can try it

i noticed that

it's not the same

because rsync is trash in wsl

there is no anything about Windows in monero-cpp's docs

but ok we can try it

WSL2 should be the same

WSL1 is different

i think with WSL2 they gave up everything about WSL and made it a boring VM lol

but i hope it can be cross-compiled

can, yes... figuring it out is the issue

i think it won't

but

i need a solution

im going crazy

i will write Monero from scratch

when i see build systems i vomit usually

they makes everything complicated

im in love with GNU toolchain

build_libmonero_cpp.sh

this one resulted in the errors?

MeowingCat: can you edit github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-…b/master/bin/build_libmonero_cpp.sh

and remove everything above line 9?

okiii trying

but first do step 5 from the readme again

so that you have a successful build

building again

yea, no idea sorry

i would check first if this ever worked on windows

:(

im getting these errors

g++ -std=c++14 -I.\monero\monero-project\src\ -I.\monero\monero-project\contrib\epee\include\ -I.\monero\monero-project\external\easylogging++\ -I.\monero\monero-project\external -I C:/msys64/mingw64/include -o main main.cpp .\monero\libwallet_merged.a

my GCC

what is wrong?

down with the internet </s>~

MeowingCat: what did you do now?

i got libwallet.a and libwallet_merged.a

and tried to link

but epee library has errors

ninja: error: '../external/monero-project/build/release/src/crypto/wallet/libwallet-crypto.a', needed by 'libmonero-cpp.dll', missing and no known rule to make it

im getting this error while building monero-cpp on MSYS2
