Thanks weex, it would be nice to get a working makefile so I can stop seeing:

Code:

segfault at 0 ip 00000000007c0b90

every time I run bitcoin!

[error]

I have a working build of bitcoind and bitcoin-qt 0.6.3 on EL6.3 (and clones like CentOS). I will be releasing it as soon as I've finished the SELinux work, probably in the next week or so.

The issue with the present centOS makefile, located at https://github.com/weex/bitcoind-centos is that upon running make there is a boost error as follows:

Code:

obj/noui.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0':
/usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:208: undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()'
/usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:209: undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()'
/usr/include/boost/system/error_code.hpp:214: undefined reference to `boost::system::get_generic_category()'

Still no luck building.

I've completed this task.

I'm cleaning it up a bit and I will post the URL to this thread.

[rapeghost]

Ok, it's good enough.

Notes & Features

This was tested on a CentOS-6.3 Final machine and worked fine.. Please make sure you install gcc-c++ and the basic devel environment.

The script has resume support, meaning if you get through 2 steps and the 3rd fails, you can fix that issue and not have to start from the beginning.
makefile.new is no longer needed

If you have crashing issues.. you might want to try disabling the default hardening features defined during compile.

Enjoy and report critical bugs...

Cordially yours

I couldn't help myself... So I continued to work on it:

It configures its self, downloads a snapshot from eu1.bitcoincharts.com and then it starts. Pretty much the 1 stop script for getting up and running on CentOS

Newest version is still the URL listed before.

Im on CentOS 5.7 and all I get is "FATAL: install glibc-static"... so I checked and it seems that there are only RPMs for CentOS 6 :/
Do you perhaps have an fix for this?

Same in CentOS 5.8.  Yum does not know a package named glibc-static, rpmfind.net only knows it for CentOS 6 with version 2.12 compared to version 2.5 of regular glibc installed on 5.8.

[weex]

I've not had a chance to test this and would prefer not to have to setup a Centos 6 vm to do so. Can I get confirmation from someone besides rapeghost that it works?

I was told it needed to work in CentOS 6... so it does.

[rapeghost]

ill look at it later then i guess

[rapeghost]

The script has been updated and confirmed working on both CentOS 6 + 5:

Same location, http://www.firenzee.com/bitcoin-centos.sh

I dont think I need to say this but DO NOT RUN THIS OR ANYTHING YOU GET ON THE INTERNET AS root.

[weex]

I've tested the latest version of the script on Centos 5.7 x86 and 6.3 x64 and both worked great. rapeghost even added in some handy post-compile configuration stuff.

On 6.3 it was required to run the following before the shell script:

yum install make gcc-c++ zlib-devel zlib zlib-static

rapeghost, post your address and I'll send the bounty. Thanks for your work!

Edit: Sent!

[bitcoin-compile] OpenSSL: Not found, building.. OpenSSL failed to compile.

i keep getting this error in centos 5.8 Final

Did you install the things from the yum line in my previous post?

What happens if you go into ./Bitcoin/Libraries/openssl-1.0.0g and do the following? Post it here.

Code:

make -j2

[rapeghost]

Apparently not.

[error]

Oh, I see you paid out the bounty. As I said previously, I've now published a complete repo where everything actually works and is reasonably secure. Oh well, maybe next time...

[Eisenhower34]

rapeghost LEGENDARY work!!!

It felt like the installation on windows, one click and asked for the configuration during setup, the rest complete automatic.
