He there I am trying to compile litecoind in a 12.04 but i am getting the following error message:

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=
g++ -c -pthread -Wextra -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-char-subscripts -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat-security -g -DNOPCH -I/home/max/coblee-litecoin-9a77169/src -DUSE_SSL -fno-stack-protector -fstack-protector-all -Wstack-protector -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -MMD -o obj/checkpoints.o checkpoints.cpp
In file included from checkpoints.cpp:9:0:

headers.h:40:20: fatal error: db_cxx.h: No such file or directory

It's pretty clear on what's going on

I believe this file is included in the litecoin source

If you want no UPnP support and do not have miniupnpc installed, you need to use USE_UPNP=-

db_cxx.h: No such file or directory - You probably did not install libdb++-dev
run:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev

and all the required deps will be pulled too.

Let me know, did it help.

If you end up with similar errors in the future when compiling install the apt-file program then sudo apt-file update, you can then search as normal user to find the package(s) containing the missing file.

Code:


apt-file search db_cxx.h
db4.6-doc: /usr/share/doc/db4.6-doc/ref/upgrade.3.0/db_cxx.html
db4.7-doc: /usr/share/doc/db4.7-doc/ref/upgrade.3.0/db_cxx.html
db4.8-doc: /usr/share/doc/db4.8-doc/programmer_reference/upgrade_3_0_db_cxx.html
db5.1-doc: /usr/share/doc/db5.1-doc/upgrading/upgrade_3_0_db_cxx.html
libdb4.6++-dev: /usr/include/db_cxx.h
libdb4.7++-dev: /usr/include/db_cxx.h
libdb4.8++-dev: /usr/include/db_cxx.h
libdb5.1++-dev: /usr/include/db_cxx.h

Edit: Necro thread, well still applies regardless.

Thanks. Is there standard steps to install all dependencies after qmake?

and if something goes wrong and you need to recompile, use:

Code:

$ make clean -f makefile.unix

to clean out old junk.

BTW, this will delete your litecoind if it exists in /src/

after you have compiled it and end up with huge litecoind (over 100 MB), run

Code:

$ strip litecoind
