go-build

Build scripts for Ethereum Mist.

OS X

Install all build dependencies.

• brew install go gmp readline
• npm install -g appdmg
• go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist
• Open build.py and edit the (macdeployqt) paths.
• python build.py

If everything went ok you should now have a Mist.dmg file in your current folder.

Windows

Install all build dependencies.

• Golang 1.2 or higher (32-bit required)
• Install Git and Mercurial
• MinGW32 (add X:\MinGW\bin directory to your PATH)
• Use mingw32-get to install gmp packages
• Install Qt5 for Windows 32-bit MinGW (5.2.1 at the moment of writing)
• Install pkg-config somewhere in your PATH. (read the instructions here)
• Install NSIS

After all these things have been satisfied go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist

Once the compilation is completed you can create a setup binary.

• Edit build.bat and change qtPath and mingwPath to the paths of your installed versions.
• right-click the nsi file and select "Compile NSIS Script".

If everything went well you should now have a windows-setup file.

Troubleshooting

Now it will be a miracle if the windows build works in one go. So here are some possible solutions for things that can go wrong:

Expected unqualified-id

qopenglversionfunctions.h:785:43: error: expected unqualified-id before ')' token
     void (QOPENGLF_APIENTRYP MemoryBarrier)(GLbitfield barriers);

See this ticket for a couple of solutions.

pkg-config path

pkg-config might complain about the config path. Setup an environment value PKG_CONFIG_PATH and set it to C:\Qt\Qt5.2.1\5.2.1\mingw48_32\lib\pkgconfig. Adopted to your QT version.

If there are any build problems please create an issue.
