hi can somebody help me build libbitcoin for windows with gcc? i'm having the same problem on both MSYS2 UCRT (on windows) and mingw-w64 (cross compiler from Fedora 38). It cannot find the library libsecp256k1 even though I built it from source and put the path to its *.a file in the LD environment variable. I don't know wtf I'm doing wrong
<Noob42>
"configure: error: libsecp256k1 >= 0.1.0.20 is required but was not found."

Noob42: this channel is about Bitcoin Core, not libbitcoin
<Noob42>
sipa: oh i thought they were managed by the same people... could you tell me where I can get general dev support for bitcoin stuff?
<Noob42>
libbitcoin has an irc but it's empty
<sipa>
Noob42: you can ask on bitcoin.stackexchange.com, perhaps there are community members who can help there; i don't know how to reach people working on libbitcoin
abubakarsadiq has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<Noob42>
Doesn't look like a lot of dev questions there
<Noob42>
there's gotta be a hangout... come on I feel like I'm the only c++ dev looking to work on bitcoin stuff and I know I can't be
Talkless has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<Noob42>
and google is useless nowadays
<instagibbs>
you're in luck, Bitcoin Core is in c++ too
kevkevin has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Noob42>
bitcoin core also has its own secp256k1... and considering the amount of posts i ran into with people having similar problems in various other languages (secp256k1 not being found) I'm hoping someone here figured it out on windows gcc
<preimage>
secp256k1 is written in C and definitely supports windows builds
<preimage>
s/^/lib/
<preimage>
☺
<Noob42>
i compiled and installed secp256k1 successfully, but no matter what I do the ./configure script can't seem to find it
<Noob42>
which is the part I see so many other people having trouble with... it's just none of them are using gcc on windows
<sipa>
that sounds like an issue with the build system of whatever you're trying to compile
<sipa>
there is also #secp256k1 on this IRC network btw, about the libsecp256k1 library
<sipa>
but i don't think the issue is there
<sipa>
in either case, questions on getting libbitcoin to work are off-topic here
<Noob42>
ok i'll stick to asking about where all the c++ bitcoin devs hang out
kevkevin has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<preimage>
mostly here and on github ☺
Guest74 has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<Noob42>
that's it...? the fuck
<Noob42>
forums really are dead huh
<preimage>
(well, if you appreciate async dev work, then the bitcoin-core-dev mailing list is also a big one)
<sipa>
preimage: that list just has announcements about new versions
<Noob42>
is it bitcoin-core-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org?
<sipa>
bitcoin core development happens on IRC, GitHub, and in-person meetings mostly.
<Noob42>
what about other projects that use bitcoin technology? that's what i'm trying to get into
<sipa>
there are many other projects, but only few in C++
<sipa>
libbitcoin being one, but i don't know who uses it
<Noob42>
damn... guess i really am alone
<Noob42>
just me and the libbitcoin guy who i'm waiting for a reply from on github
<Noob42>
fuck this sucks
PaperSword has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<Noob42>
i guess there is one last resort for me... install visual fucking studio
<Noob42>
since everyone else seems to be catering to that... maybe i'll have better luck even though i'll have to rebuild my entire dev environment and re-arrange my entire project
szkl has quit [Quit: Connection closed for inactivity]
<sipa>
i do have to point out the irony of you ranting about not getting libsecp256k1 cross-compilation to work in a particular project, here, in a channel about *another* project, which *also* uses libsecp256k1, and successfully does cross-compilation, using mingw
<sipa>
the build environment is completely different through, and i don't think Bitcoin Core's approach to doing so would be helpful to you
<Noob42>
no, I never had trouble compiling libsecp256k1 itself. I just can't link it
<sipa>
yes, i understand; still, i hope you see the irony
PaperSword has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
<Noob42>
no, i don't - all i see right now is the gigantic void i'm sitting in
<Noob42>
i legit hadn't realized how alone i was... i thought it was just the search engines being shit... i came here because i ran out of places to find friends
kevkevin has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Noob42>
there simply aren't any friends to make
<sipa>
Bitcoin Core's Windows release builds are created using MinGW, in a Linux environment. Bitcoin Core uses libsecp256k1. And you're here complaining about some other project in which you're trying to do these things...
<preimage>
I feel like an alternative here that hasn't seemed to be acknowledged is to instead try to build bitcoin-core (the project for which this channel exists)
<preimage>
☺
<Noob42>
i wasn't complaining - it's not that far fetched to think someone may have had trouble with their ./configure also not linking to libsecp256k1
<Noob42>
since there are c++ devs here who use libsecp256k1
<Murch[m]>
Noob42: Again, your question would probably be better directed at Bitcoin Stack Exchange (which does get a fair share of developer questions), but if you perhaps told us what you’re actually trying to achieve for which you’re trying to get libsecp256k1 to link with something, then we might be able to point you in the right direction for your actual goal rather than your attempted solution
<Noob42>
SPECIALLY given the amount of forum threads in ran into with people having the exact same problem (sadly none of them being gcc windows)
kevkevin has joined #bitcoin-core-dev
<Noob42>
Murch[m] long story short I need to build libbitcoin so I can link to it in my project, but I can't because ./configure doesn't want to see that libsecp256k1 exists on the system
<Noob42>
i tried LD="/path/to/libsecp256k1" CXXFLAGS="-I/path/to/libsecp256k1/include" -L/path/to/libsecp256k1" same with CFLAGS... it just refuses
<sipa>
Noob42: this channel is about the development of the bitcoin core software, sorry
<Noob42>
if i figure this out and end up releasing some software, i'll be sure to point out how hostile the Bitcoin community is to devs
