As a bitcoin enthusiast, I collated the original code from sourceforge when Satoshi launched bitcoin v0.01; With the classic VC++6.0 compilation, set all the header files and library files that were relied on at that time, for everyone to study the appearance of Bitcoin at the beginning of creation;
- set up WinXP SP2 32bit Env
- set up VC++6.0
git clone https://github.com/brain-zhang/bitcoin_satoshi.git- open
bitcoin.dswby VC++6.0 - compile in Win32 Debug mode
bitcoin.exe is an executable file compiled by Satoshi Nakamoto's original compilation environment under the winxp platform. You can run two virtual machines, copy the dll directory file to C:\windows\system32, and set the initial PEER IP address. You can run the first version of the bitcoin client within a LAN;
You can download bitcoin.exe and dlls in Release
Startup steps:
- Prepare two VMS A and B on the LAN
- Create the addr.txt file in the same directory as bitcoin.exe and fill in the file with the connection IP address of the peer end :PORT, for example, 192.168.2.7:8333
- Start bitcoin.exe for A and B respectively
- Connect the peer node and start mining
- For the convenience of testing, the difficulty value is lowered by default

Bitcoin does not use any encryption. If you want to do a no-everything build of OpenSSL to exclude encryption routines, a few patches are required. (OpenSSL v0.9.8h)
Edit engines\e_gmp.c and put this #ifndef around #include <openssl/rsa.h>
#ifndef OPENSSL_NO_RSA
#include <openssl/rsa.h>
#endif
Add this to crypto\err\err_all.c before the ERR_load_crypto_strings line:
void ERR_load_RSA_strings(void) { }
Edit ms\mingw32.bat and replace the Configure line's parameters with this no-everything list. You have to put this in the batch file because batch files can't handle more than 9 parameters.
perl Configure mingw threads no-rc2 no-rc4 no-rc5 no-idea no-des no-bf no-cast no-aes no-camellia no-seed no-rsa no-dh
Also REM out the following line in ms\mingw32.bat. The build fails after it's already finished building libeay32, which is all we care about, but the failure aborts the script before it runs dllwrap to generate libeay32.dll. REM if errorlevel 1 goto end
Build
ms\mingw32.bat
If you want to use it with MSVC, generate the .lib file
lib /machine:i386 /def:ms\libeay32.def /out:out\libeay32.lib
MinGW with MSYS:
cd \DB\build_unix
sh ../dist/configure --enable-mingw --enable-cxx
make
You may need Boost version 1.35 to build with MSVC 6.0. I couldn't get version 1.37 to compile with MSVC 6.0.
