Title: Does Litecoin use leveldb? Post by: AlexMerced on May 05, 2013, 01:48:36 AM I'm trying to compile litecoin in windows (just to know how) but I was following the directions outlined here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0 The problem is I don't find leveldb in the source code and was wondering is the process outlined in that thread would still otherwise work for the litecoin source?

I'm just trying to see if there is anything not mentioned in the above thread I'd need to compiling the current litecoin code. Title: Re: Does Litecoin use leveldb?

You are right that it doesn't cause any damage, but a bug is a bug and it's possible to know if it's there. |
