Title: Setting the development environment for Bitcoin source code
Post by: iqasem on December 24, 2013, 11:40:17 AM
Hello all,

I'm very new to Bitcoin, though I read lots about how it works, its transactions, mining, etc.
I wanted to check all these processes from the code itself, I downloaded the source code and I followed the build instructions mentioned here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md), then I installed Qt Creator and tried to open bitcoin-qt.pro, but I got lots of errors. Is there any guide for developers (beginners) on how exactly can we start working on Bitcoin source code?

Please note that I'm using Ubuntu 13.10

Thanks
