Monero: 0.12 failed to run as service under Windows

Created on 28 Mar 2018 · 22Comments · Source: monero-project/monero

Just upgrading monerod to the new version. Removed old version and install new one with command monerod --install-service. Got strange errors in log after start and monerod removes itself from services list automatically. System: Windows Server 2008 R2. Previous version was running without any problems and if I start monerod from command line widow it works without errors. The only noticeable difference in log file is that while starting as service it tries to bind to ZMQ socket, in normal mode (from cmd line) it didn't

Same here, I'm thinking maybe we was supposed to export our old wallets before upgrading.

How to build monerod for Windows?

Keksov on 4 Apr 2018

Instructions are in the README.md file.

Looks like libreadline compiled without lib(n)curse. How can I tell cmake to add -lncurses?

In build/debug/CMakeCache.txt, look for Readline_LIBRARY, and add the path to libncurses.so at the end, with a space delimiter.

moneromooo-monero on 4 Apr 2018

anyone managed to get it fixed?

kadzsol on 7 Apr 2018

Try libncurses.a

Sylvyrfysh on 1 May 2018

Would it be possible for you to compile with this and share the extra log or send me the binary so I can create the log?

anyone still busy with this?

kadzsol on 14 Jun 2018

I've added the patch to a dummy PR in https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/4009 so the build bot will build a windows binary with it.

It's built, there are downloadable binaries from https://build.getmonero.org/builders/monero-static-win64/builds/4682. This is based off the release-v0.12 branch.

Testing it now...

kadzsol on 17 Jun 2018

I have manually overwrote the binaries in my previous installation (that is why version still seems 0.11). it installs OK as a service.

Service installed

I can also start it:

Unfortunately, it deinstalls itself like the older 0.12 version did.
