wxVcashGUI

A multiplatform GUI for Vcash, a decentralized currency for the internet (https://vcash.info/).

Building vcash

In order to build wxVcashGUI, you will need to build firstly vcash.

On Linux

You can build vcash by using the script at:

https://github.com/openvcash/vcash-scripts

The resulting build will be located at ~/vcash/.

On Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015

These are instructions for building a Windows 64 bits executable and this procedure has been tested on Windows 10 x64 with MSVC14 (Visual Studio 2015).

Follow the following instructions to build vcash with Microsoft Visual Studio:

https://github.com/openvcash/vcash/blob/master/platforms/windows/README.md

For building with Visual Studio 2015, the only difference with respect to those instructions is to use the following command to build boost:

b2 -j3 toolset=msvc-14.0 address-model=64 architecture=x86 link=static threading=multi runtime-link=static --with-system --stagedir=stage/x64

Building and installing wxWidgets

On linux

Download source code of wxWidgets: https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.0/wxWidgets-3.1.0.tar.bz2

Uncompress this file and cd to corresponding directory:

cd wxWidgets-3.1.0

Make a build directory , configure and build:

cd build
mkdir gtk
cd gtk
../../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared
make

Go for a cup of coffee :) .

Install wxWidgets:

sudo make install
wx-config --version

On Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015

Download source code of wxWidgets: https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.0/wxWidgets-3.1.0.zip

Uncompress this file to folder C:\wxWidgets-3.1.0

Open a Visual Studio x64 native tools command prompt (** choose the right prompt or compilation will fail **).

cd to directory C:\wxWidgets-3.1.0\build\msw:

cd C:\wxWidgets-3.1.0\build\msw

Enter the following command to build wxWidgets:

nmake /f makefile.vc BUILD=release TARGET_CPU=X64 RUNTIME_LIBS=static

and go for a cup of coffee :) .

Downloading wxVcashGUI

On linux

Download wxVcashGUI from https://github.com/openvcash/wxVcashGUI/archive/master.zip and uncompress this file inside your ~/vcash/src folder.

On Windows

Download wxVcashGUI from https://github.com/openvcash/wxVcashGUI/archive/master.zip and uncompress this file inside your vcash-master folder (C:\vcash-master).

Building libqrencode

libqrencode (https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode) library must be built previously in directory deps.

On Linux

cd to that directory:

cd ~/vcash/src/wxVcashGUI-master/deps

Clone libqrencode library:

git clone https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode

Build the library:

cd libqrencode
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make

On Windows

Download the library from https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode/archive/master.zip

Uncompress this file to folder C:\vcash-master\wxVcashGUI-master\deps and rename folder libqrencode-master to libqrencode.

cd to libqrencode directory:

cd C:\vcash-master\wxVcashGUI-master\deps\libqrencode

Build the library:

nmake /f makefile.vc

Building wxVcashGUI

On Linux

cd to wxVcashGUI directory:

cd ~/vcash/src/wxVcashGUI-master

Enter the following commands:

cmake CMakeLists.txt
make

On Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio 2015

cd to wxVcashGUI directory:

cd C:\vcash-master\wxVcashGUI-master

Enter the following command:

nmake /f makefile.vc BUILD=release TARGET_CPU=X64 RUNTIME_LIBS=static USE_THREADS=1

Enjoy your GUI for Vcash!

Adding support for custom URL vcash protocol

On Linux

Create the following text file:

gedit  ~/.local/share/applications/vcash.desktop

The contents of this file should be as follows, but replacing paths with those used in your computer:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Exec=<path to vcash executable folder>/vcash --url=%u
Icon=<path to vcash icon>
Terminal=false
Categories=Crypto
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vcash;
Name=Vcash
Comment=Vcash

Edit the following text file:

gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

and add the following contents in section Default Applications (or create this section if it isn't yet in the file):

[Default Applications]
x-scheme-handler/vcash=vcash.desktop

Enter the following command:

sudo update-desktop-database

Test the protocol by clicking this vcash link: vcash://VaEkBynLcMdos1DgfTrtBuwNaFYoJWswR6?amount=25&zerotime=true and tip me ;-)

On Windows

Create with a text editor a file with extension .reg and the following contents, but replacing paths to vcash.exe with those used in your computer:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Vcash]
@="URL:vcash"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Vcash\DefaultIcon]
@="\"C:\\vcash-master\\wxVcashGUI\\vc_mswu_x64\\vcash.exe""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Vcash\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Vcash\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Vcash\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\vcash-master\\wxVcashGUI\\vc_mswu_x64\\vcash.exe\" --url=\"%1\""

Save this file and double click on it to import its contents into the Windows Registry.

Test the protocol by clicking this vcash link: vcash://VaEkBynLcMdos1DgfTrtBuwNaFYoJWswR6?amount=25&zerotime=true and tip me ;-)
