PPCoin: How to Compile on Ubuntu 12.04

[AndyRossy]

A quick walk through on how to compile on a fresh Ubuntu LTS 12.04

Code:

apt-get install git g++-4.5 libboost1.46-all-dev libdb5.1++-dev make
useradd -m -s /bin/bash ppcoin
su ppcoin
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/ppcoin/ppcoin.git
cd ppcoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= ppcoind

This will put a ppcoind executeable in the ppcoin/src folder.  You can move it to wherever you desire, and execute in a similar way to starting up bitcoind.

Q. I receive internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

Code:

g++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.6/README.Bugs> for instructions.

A.

Type "dmesg",

Code:

[ 1377.575785] Out of memory: Kill process 12305 (cc1plus) score 905 or sacrifice child
[ 1377.575800] Killed process 12305 (cc1plus) total-vm:579928kB, anon-rss:546144kB, file-rss:0kB

If you see output like this, your machine does not have enough memory to compile.  You can fix this by adding more swap. To add a 1gb swap file, in /swapfile:

Code:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=64M count=16
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile

After compiling, you may wish to

Code:

sudo swapoff /swapfile
sudo rm /swapfile

Will be adding answers to other compiling questions for other OS's over time.
