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.
