Hi,
I'm trying to compile and run Bitcoin first version on Linux, but I am encountering some trouble in the process of installing wxWidgets. The steps I followed are the ones described on "A Dissection of Bitcoin":
1. Checkout the version I want
git checkout 4405b78d6059e536c36974088a8ed4d9f0f29898
2. Download wxWidgets
3.
cd bc/wxWidgets-2.8.12
./configure --with-msw --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb --disable-shared
make
I get stuck when I run ./configure ... , getting this message:
"configure: error: Required windres program not found"
I've tried to look for this package but seems that is not that easy to find for Linux. So my questions are:
- has someone successfully compiled the first version on Linux? seems to me that the versions is "targeting" only windows users. Is this correct?
- did you also have the same issues? how did you solve it
Thanks in advance!
