Some history:
Way back in 2016 I did not make any progress in building bitcoin when I tried to get help from the bitcoin/bytecoin related FreeNode groups.
So I ended up making my own environment. I put it up on GitHub in 2017, and have not really looked at it since.
I believe that this is a bunch of scripts that will build a virtual machine and then build a local copy of Bytecoin that I codenamed IOUnote. I have not reviewed it today, or since 2017.
This was a bit fragile and a little too customized for the immediate task at hand, but it did work for me and nothing else did. It builds the GitHub version by Ahmed Bodhi, the one that he cloned, and my branch that I call IOUnote. These are all 0.8.x versions.
Somewhere in the build process there is a call from the virtual machine out to the VirtualBox host, and this is a Ubuntu command. It is probably an ssh call, I don't remember. If you are running VirtualBox on windows, I expect that things will break there.
Many newer bitcoin versions use a different build environment and I have not mastered these new environments.
The build is very specific to Trusty Tahar, with exactly the installs in the scripts. All sorts of surprising things cause it to break, it is really fragile, so this is very constrained both in the bitcoin version and also in the Ubuntu version.
