A multiplatform GUI for Vcash, a decentralized currency for the internet (https://vcash.info/).
In order to build wxVcashGUI, you will need to build firstly vcash.
You can build vcash by using the script at:
https://github.com/openvcash/vcash-scripts
The resulting build will be located at ~/vcash/.
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
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
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 :) .
Download wxVcashGUI from https://github.com/openvcash/wxVcashGUI/archive/master.zip and uncompress this file inside your ~/vcash/src folder.
Download wxVcashGUI from https://github.com/openvcash/wxVcashGUI/archive/master.zip and uncompress this file inside your vcash-master folder (C:\vcash-master).
libqrencode (https://github.com/fukuchi/libqrencode) library must be built previously in directory deps.
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
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
cd to wxVcashGUI directory:
cd ~/vcash/src/wxVcashGUI-master
Enter the following commands:
cmake CMakeLists.txt
make
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!
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 ;-)
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.
