Title: Building bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, and bitcoin-qt clients on Debian Jessie. Post by: Cryddit on December 03, 2014, 03:04:56 AM Today I built bitcoin (from sid sources) on my desktop box which runs on Debian "Jessie".
I wrote a blog post that lists, and explains, all the commands needed, in order. Comments are welcome. So is criticism, as long as it comes with a good suggestion as to making the instructions clearer. http://dillingers.com/blog/2014/12/02/a-short-guide-to-building-bitcoind-and-bitcoin-qt-on-debian-jessie/ Title: Re: Building bitcoind, bitcoin-cli, and bitcoin-qt clients on Debian Jessie.

The filesystem standard says /usr/local is for stuff installed on the machine that isn't part of the "standard equipment" for the system, and in this case that's true of the bitcoin stuff because it's not known to the package management system. I put it under /usr because I was unthinkingly re-creating the system as it would have been had it been properly installed from a .deb package in the standard distribution. |
