Merge #11438: Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workaround
7383d77 Updated instructions for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. (Aaron Clauson)
e0fc4a7 Updated Windows build doc for WSL/Xenial workarounds. (Aaron Clauson)

Pull request description:

  An update to the Windows build document that provides workarounds for the broken 64 bit mingw32 cross compiler on WSL/Xenial.

  This update is an alternative to pull request #11437. While that pull request takes a valid approach by stating building on WSL should be avoided I think it is more useful to give Windows developers a workaround option.

  The instructions have been tested on:
  - Ubuntu 14.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 16.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Ubuntu 17.04 and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 32 bit mingw32 tool chain
  - Windows Subsystem for Linux (Windows 10 OS Build 15063.608) and 64 bit mingw32 tool chain

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoin.org/en/download, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md.

The developer mailing list should be used to discuss complicated or controversial changes before working on a patch set.

Developer IRC can be found on Freenode at #bitcoin-core-dev.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
