When I try to build this in Ubuntu 16.04 from the source:
$ ./autogen.sh
...
$./configure
outputs: configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in src/build-aux "."/src/build-aux
(probably because autogen had the error-and-failure-with-exit mentioned at the top).
Did you eventually get this working?
Yeah, the old Bitcoin source contains autogen.sh and configure, but those aren't meant to be run. If they were, we'd be using a generated Makefile instead of
make -f makefile.unix. You just need to follow the instructions as described in
doc/build-unix.md, or
build/readme-qt.rst for the Qt build, which I presume is what startsts did above and what a couple of us did for Raspberry Pi builds a while ago.
Basically,
sudo apt install libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libssl-dev
cd src; make -f makefile.unix
(with the usual caveat that if you use DB5.3 don't try to load an existing DB4.8 wallet).
Also, an issues page at the Github would probably be useful because this situation and similar ones is probably likely to arise again.
Agreed, Flapmin can you enable the issues tab on
