Compiling Steem for Windows (on Linux host)

in steem •  8 years ago 

I basically just added "link=shared" to Boost and "shared" to the OpenSSL helper scripts in the appropriate section. This produced files about 2mb smaller (each), but still way bigger than Bitcubes (6mb vs 20'ish).

Ive made some tweaks to OpenSSL's and Boost build options and testing right now too. Looking at GMP now too, to see how possible it is!

Within configure_build.py I found this:

Maybe add Windows cross-compilation flags

if args.windows:
    mingw = "x86_64-w64-mingw32"
    command.append("-DFULL_STATIC_BUILD=ON")

I tried changing to DFULL_STATIC_BUILD=OFF but during compile it seemed to complain about it and put it back on. I suspect this is causing the mammoth 20mb exe's?
