Title: Ububtu 14 32 bit, Qt errors out the wazoo!
Post by: Dimelord on August 27, 2014, 03:59:44 PM
So I recently switched my laptop from Linux Mint 16 to Ubuntu 14.04. I was trying to build a wallet based on the Bitcoin 8.3 client,but I got all sorts of errors. I attempted it on the IDE and the terminal, nothing works. Is it hopeless to try and build an outdated wallet on 14.04 or am I missing something simple? I guess we just need to update to the latest Bitcoin version.

When I compiled on Qt creator, it gave me 1000+ errors all saying "undefined reference to-" I can try again to give you some of the exact errors.

Have you installed all the dependencies listed in the README/INSTALL files ?

Also.. You should just be able to download and run the binary without compiling it yourself, if that is any help to you.

Have you tried building the current Bitcoin client the same way, and if so, does it work? Also, have you tried building with the standard build scripts (./autogen.sh; ./configure; make)? It may be an issue with missing dependencies, or (less likely) a bug in the code of the wallet you're attempting to build.

The reason I posted this is becuase I never had issues before with the code. I originally compiled it on Mint 16 (32), with no issues. I switched to Ubuntu 14.04, re-added all the deps and all these issues came up. Also weirdly, I can't get the executable built on Mint to run on Ubuntu.... I will try the original bitcoin 8.3 to see if I get the same errors.

I'm running the 32 bit at the moment after breaking my other computer.

It's shit in comparison.

Better to use Mint if you have had more luck in the past.

I'm thinking of switching to Arch because i can run 64 bit on this particular computer.

Make sure you build using QT4.8 for an early version of BTC, not 5+.

yep, running 4.8. It's the source from dimecoin.co. Could you ever get it to compile?

can you pastebin the compiling-output please. i think the issue is wrong deps for 14.04.

Not sure how you embed the pastebin into here, here's the link. http://pastebin.com/eQ2G2C7E (http://pastebin.com/eQ2G2C7E)

If you've changed your OS, then "never had issues before" doesn't really apply.

From your compile output:
Quote
/bin/sh: 1: ./build_detect_platform: Permission denied
I remember having this problem when making my own altcoin; check to make sure that script (under src/leveldb) is executable, and if not fixing it should solve at least some of your problems. The next block of errors below that one involves linker errors with files of the wrong architecture, so it may help.

I compiled the current version 0.9.2.1 on Ubuntu 14.04, 64 bit last week without issue, just as a datapoint.

Your pastebin is for dimecoin though, so perhaps there are differences there too.

Is ./build_detect_platform  executable? 

chmod it to fix that.

i guess wrong dependcies are the issue.
please check also the permissions like stated above.
and set them correctly if necessary (chmod).
