Title: Virtual machine for building wallets from source (15+ currencies)
Post by: sooscdev on December 12, 2013, 06:38:04 AM
I've put together a virtual machine that downloads and builds wallets from source without intervention. It uses Vagrant to build the VM and Ansible to download and build all the wallets. So far, it's setup to build the following:

GUI and Console
Anoncoin, BBQcoin, Crptobullion, Digitalcoin, Feathercoin, Florincoin, Freicoin, Goldcoin, Litecoin, Megacoin, PPcoin, Primecoin, Quarkcoin, Sexcoin, Stablecoin, Worldcoin, Yacoin, Zetacoin

GUI only
Devcoin, Yacoin

Console only
Fastcoin, Lotterytickets, Namecoin

I'll add more coins as often as I can. The source code, along with instructions, is up at github if you want to try it or see the build steps for each wallet. PM me or submit a pull request if there's a coin not on the list that you would like to be added.

Sorry but could you describe it a bit more detailed what is it for and how to use it?
This Vargant is new for me.

Sure -

Vagrant is a software tool used for setting up virtual machines. This VM installs all the requirements (make, qt, etc..) for the listed wallets, downloads the source code from Github and builds them without user intervention.

To use this VM, you need to have Vagrant and Virtualbox installed. Once you've done that, you can run the command vagrant up from a windows console in the folder that you've cloned this repo into to start the installation process. It will setup a desktop environment in Ubuntu for you and symlink all the wallets to /home/vagrant. The username and password to login to the VM is vagrant.

Thank you! It looks interesting. I'll check it after the holidays. Even this "new" VM is worth to see for me.
Thanks!
