Stuck building database?

[toshiva]

Hello,
Wondering if this is genuinely stuck (has read 4%, building database, for the last six hours). The python2 and bitcoind processes are still alive. I am on a relatively old machine. Logs are as follows:

Thank you.

Update to this:

Thanks for the response. I get a "dependency not satisfiable" error re: libstdc++  (>=5.2) when I try that. This is running Ubuntu 14.04 and claims the version of libstdc++ that I have is the latest version. Must I upgrade to 16.04, or is there some other workaround?

[goatpig]

These binaries are built on a gcc that's too recent for 14.04.

You don't need to upgrade however, you can just build yourself, it's fairly easy on ubuntu.

[toshiva]

Building a binary sounds complicated (to me — I have not done that before). I upgraded and broke a bunch of packages. Okay, now rolling back — any pointers on how to do this would be much appreciated!

[goatpig]

Pick a folder in which which the code is to be downloaded to, let's call it "Code".

First, make sure you have these packages installed:

git
autoconf
libtool

You can install packages running this command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install [package name]

To download the source (from within the "Code" folder):

Code:

git clone https://github/goatpig/BitcoinArmory.git
cd BitcoinArmory
git checkout testing
git submodule init
git submodule update

To configure the project (from within the /Code/BitcoinArmory folder):

Code:

sh autogen.sh
./configure

The configure script may fail, telling you you are missing certain packages. In this case, you want to install the package, using apt-get.

Finally to build and install (still from the same folder):

Code:

make -j8
sudo make install

required packages for me was:
libqt4-dev libqtcore4 pyqt4-dev-tools swig

Code:

apt-get install libqt4-dev libqtcore4 pyqt4-dev-tools swig -y

...
To configure the project (from within the /Code/BitcoinArmory folder):

Code:

sh autogen.sh
./configure

The configure script may fail, telling you you are missing certain packages. In this case, you want to install the package, using apt-get.

It did fail, but not for reasons of missing packages (so far as I can tell). The error message(s) that I got were:

Code:

Preparing build .... Warning: autoreconf failed
Attempting to run the preparation steps individually

Preparing build .... ERROR: aclocal failed

Hmmm...

[goatpig]

Run this:

Code:

autoconf

And post the error output.

[toshiva]

Code:

configure.ac:4: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR
configure.ac:45: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL

[goatpig]

Oh wow, what is your automake version?

[toshiva]

1.14.1

[goatpig]

I'll have to create a 14.04 vm to look at this directly, this is too messy to be dealt with remotely. Will get back to you.

[toshiva]

Okay, thanks, I'll wait to hear from you.
