compiling altcoins: libdb4.8 vs libdb5.1

[M8BWNNRFMNdak68c]

can someone help me compiling different altcoins on linux from source? ( ubuntu linux 14 )

i think i have a problem with libdb (Oracle Berkeley DB ) ...
when i install libdb version 5, then many altcoins consume a very high cpu usage..
installing libdb version 4 reduces that.. but then other problems appear.. some coins will not work

additionally, some header files are missing from time to time..
do you have a hint how to get all coins running?
i think i will have to "switch" between 4.8 and 5.1 between specific coins..
how can i see it in the sourcecode of the coin?
problem is that 4.8 is no longer included in the repositories.. so we will also have to compile it..

db4 coins with configure will work like his..

BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db4"
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install

cd $BITCOIN_ROOT
./autogen.sh
./configure LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/"  --with-gui=no
make

most coins need db4 .. i only know dogecoin which uses db5 (replace with http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz )

but i don't really know how to inculde this in a Makefile ..

to make it further complicated, there is also the newsest version libdb5.3

well, i got curious and tried what you got going..   im also new to this and learned alot in the last year..  i got stuck at this point. .... and this is using 5.1

hummmm?? no autogen

[sirslayer]

and you said

when i install libdb version 5, then many altcoins consume a very high cpu usage.



.... did you use the 0 cflag 2 on ./configure?? level 2 is for all generic cpus and 03 ect ect for newer?? 
have you tried the flags?? just curious and here is a few links..
try these links

ah okay thank you.. i think the Flags are hardcoded in the setup files.. ( Worldcoin: -O2 ), i don't thnik we should change much here..

To make my attempts clearer: Some coins are created via "./autogen.sh", some are created via "./src/make".. this is the choise of the developer, not mine.. i can now install the former ones:

Code:

cd /home/user/libdb
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db4"
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
make install

cd /home/user/libdb
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd) 
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db5"
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz'
tar -xzvf db-5.1.29.NC.tar.gz

but coins without autogen are still not working:

Thank you so fucking very much.

I've gonna write an cleaner guide for this later and refer you.

so what im getting .. some coins like worldcoin for example can be altered and can harmful??  or lacks proper support.. im scared now
