Title: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: genjix on March 17, 2011, 06:53:59 PM I see a lot of questions about how to build Bitcoin.
Here's how you do it on Ubuntu for the non-GUI version: sudo aptitude install build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb4.7++-dev libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev make -f makefile.unix bitcoind ./bitcoind (someone add this to the build instructions on github) Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: Matt Corallo on March 17, 2011, 08:08:47 PM For the GUI version:
Code: sudo aptitude install build-essential libboost-all-dev libdb4.7++-dev libssl-dev libglib2.0-dev Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: genjix on March 17, 2011, 08:33:05 PM fuck no. I do not like to sudo make install *anything* and nor do I recommend anyone else to ever do so.
better would be to install wxwidgets to a local directory. anyway if you're compiling bitcoin then probably you'll be content with the CLI version, Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: Matt Corallo on March 17, 2011, 08:50:18 PM fuck no. I do not like to sudo make install *anything* and nor do I recommend anyone else to ever do so. What's the harm of having an extra library on your system? Its not like anything but bitcoin will use it yet anyway. Nothing but bitcoin will ever touch any of it.better would be to install wxwidgets to a local directory. anyway if you're compiling bitcoin then probably you'll be content with the CLI version, Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: genjix on March 17, 2011, 11:28:54 PM fuck no.

Personal preference. Also: security risk. & no way to ever uninstall. Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: theymos on March 18, 2011, 02:01:42 AM & no way to ever uninstall. I use paco (http://paco.sourceforge.net/) to keep track of my source code packages. It allows you to uninstall them, and it also keeps track of configure parameters and such.

Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: Matt Corallo on March 18, 2011, 05:27:24 PM Security risk as in if a bug is found, and they're not updated with a fix (how?) If no program loads the libraries, they can't be exploited. If someone can convince your system to load the libraries, you are already compromised.Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: TeraPool on July 20, 2011, 06:09:33 AM I see a lot of questions about how to build Bitcoin.

I see that the readme suggests a few more dependant libraries now for 0.3.24 ??? Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: netrin on July 25, 2011, 04:15:05 PM I'd love to see a post here or elsewhere for Ubuntu 11.04. I can't compile the latest wxwidgets nor compile the latest bitcoin client with an earlier wxwidgets. Anyone got it working?

I got it working after zillions of troubles with wxwidgets (in 10.04 though)Here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=30500.0 Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: BitVapes on July 28, 2011, 11:48:48 AM I'd love to see a post here or elsewhere for Ubuntu 11.04.

Anyone got it working? this may help - http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6299.msg110429#msg110429 note, this installs v0.3.21 but I think 0.3.24 will work if you change a line in the script: from Quote [ -e bitcoin*.tar.gz ] || wget --no-check-certificate "https://www.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.3.21" to Quote [ -e bitcoin*.tar.gz ] || wget --no-check-certificate "https://www.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.3.24" Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: genjix on July 28, 2011, 01:01:49 PM I didn't get it to work on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot
Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: netrin on July 28, 2011, 01:09:08 PM I (and others) can compile earlier versions of wxwidgets, earlier clients, and on earlier versions of Ubuntu. If you has actually compiled 0.3.24 on Ubuntu 11.04 yourself, please post your magic sauce. :)

If you has actually compiled 0.3.24 on Ubuntu 11.04 yourself, please post your magic sauce. :) the method I posted 3 links above worked for me, I just checked and I had edited a section of the script like so - Quote #for some reason, github's certificate doesn't work: [ -e bitcoin*.tar.gz ] || wget --no-check-certificate "https://www.github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tarball/v0.3.24" [ -e bitcoin*/ ] || tar -xvzf "v0.3.24" cd bitcoin*/ cd src/ make -f makefile.unix this gave me a working bitcoin 0.3.24 binary in ubuntu 11.04 Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: brandon@sourcewerks on July 28, 2011, 04:35:09 PM If you don't want to fool around doing this yourself, I can provide cloud hosted bitcoind instances with Ubuntu for ~0.125 BTC a day. Each instance is backed up daily and you will have full root access to the server.
Otherwise, back to reading ;D Title: Re: Ubuntu build instructions Post by: marcus_of_augustus on July 28, 2011, 11:12:23 PM I (and others) can compile earlier versions of wxwidgets, earlier clients, and on earlier versions of Ubuntu. If you has actually compiled 0.3.24 on Ubuntu 11.04 yourself, please post your magic sauce. :) On a related note, if you are going to try testing with release candidates for 0.3.25 (0.4) that has wallet encryption then you'll have to use the latest version of wxWidgets 2.9.2 (need to build and install somewhere yourself) ... or you can use the patch on the previous version found in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/wx-patches/README |
