Anyone manage to build the Catcoin wallet using git?

I have tried


But I got error. Please tell me how I can install the wallet.

Thanks

I'm running into a similar error.

In the meantime someone has posted a statically compiled catcoin binary for linux here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/b6d5gbo4e785gbf/catcoin-qt
But it didn't work for me, I was able to compile a headless catcoin client but it had issues with creating the .catcoin directory.

I've tried compiling it any number of ways and end up with nothing functional -
this is one of the errors on the compile

catcoin/src/netbase.cpp:-1: warning: Using 'getaddrinfo' in statically linked applications requires at runtime the shared libraries from the glibc version used for linking

But seriously, catcoins will someday be equivalent to bitcoins in value because they use the same blockchain, if you follow the logic that litecoins will be worth 1/4 the amount of bitcoins...

I was able to get it working to compile it after adding the libdb4.8-dev from the bitcoin apt-repository from this direction https://github.com/kR105/catcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md

This github was the original origin for catcoin the other one was forked and it has been updated recently.

So I was able to get a headless catcoin wallet running, which is better than nothing but couldn't get qt-catcoin to install or work.

Thanks, the QT don't work for me either.

I figured it out thanks to some Russian catcoin miners... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=385186.0
and google translate - Discovered the key-static variable LDFLAGS in Makefile - removed it and compiled fine.

And then I modified the makefile and searched for static and removed the second instance of static and it compiled just fine for me.
