I have successfully downloaded the source for Bitcoin Nodes V19 and V20 and built them in Visual Studio but get compilation errors when trying to do the same with V21.1. I have reloaded all dependent software packages (Boost etc) using vcpkg, reinstalled Visual Studio, redone vcpkg integrate install but it makes no difference. I am still able to compile and link V20 but not V21.

Is it possible the source code for V21.1 from GitHub is somehow wrong?

Anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

Jon

  • Bitcoin Core's CI infrastructure builds and runs tests with an MSVC build, so presumably the code is fine. It's hard to tell what is wrong without seeing your actual errors.

  • I follow github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/… for Windows. Had issues with Visual Studio and never tried again to fix them because WSL is easy and works.

Could you try out updated docs (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22890), and please submit an issue with build errors to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues.
