Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want a desktop GUI wallet for Conceal.Network or need to compile the application from its public source repository.
Who it is for
- People seeking a desktop GUI wallet for the Conceal blockchain.
- Developers who want to build the Conceal Desktop application from source on a documented desktop platform.
Documented uses
- Use a graphical desktop wallet for the Conceal.Network ecosystem.
- Build the wallet from source using the platform-specific repository instructions.
Requirements & limits
The source repository is public and identifies the project as open source under the MIT license. The supplied material does not specify account requirements, pricing or release download availability.
- Building requires the separate conceal-core repository as well as conceal-desktop.
- The platform build instructions specify different compiler and dependency setups; Windows also requires editing the Qt path in
CMakeLists.txt. - The network’s anonymous messaging is described in project materials, but specific messaging functions in the desktop application are not detailed.
- The README lists a web wallet and explorer as separate Conceal resources.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Build Conceal Desktop on Linux
Compile a release build of the desktop wallet from source on Linux using the documented repository steps.
Before you start
- Linux, with instructions specifically naming Ubuntu or Debian.
- GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, Boost 1.55 or later, and Qt 5.9 or later.
- Git and the listed build dependencies.
Steps
Clone the conceal-desktop repository and enter its directory.
Remove the cryptonote directory, then clone conceal-core into that directory.
Run the command below.
make build-releaseCreate a
bindirectory and move the release binary there, then run the command below.make clean
Expected outcome
The README says that, if the build succeeds, the binary is in the `bin` folder.
Guide limitations
- The instructions document building from source; they do not establish that the steps were independently tested.
- The README’s optional shortcut-creator command is separate from building the release.
Build Conceal Desktop on Windows 10
Compile the wallet’s release binaries from source using the repository’s Windows instructions.
Before you start
- Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition with Desktop development with C++ and MSVC v142 x64/x86 build tools.
- CMake, Boost for MSVC 14.2 and Qt 5; the instructions use Boost 1.78.0 and Qt 5.15.2.
- The Qt CMake path in
CMakeLists.txtmust be set as described in the README.
Steps
Open the x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2019.
Edit
CMakeLists.txtto set the Qt CMake path for the installed Qt version.Clone conceal-desktop, remove the
cryptonotedirectory, and clone conceal-core into it.Create and enter a build directory, then run the documented CMake command for Visual Studio 2019 x64.
Run the documented
msbuildrelease command.
Expected outcome
The README says that, if the build succeeds, the binaries are in the `Release` folder.
Guide limitations
- The listed Qt path and Boost version are specific to the example setup and may require corresponding path or version changes.
- The instructions document a build process; they do not establish that it was independently tested.
