Bottlecaps 2.1 UPDATE REQUIRED - HARDFORK JULY 4 2014 to 200% Annual PoS

[Hilux74]

Here is a guide to get both the headless daemon and the sexy QT gui version of Bottlecaps compiled and running on a Raspberry Pi 1 B+ running either straight Raspbian or Raspbian via Noobs.  Might work on other flavours but untested.  I spent many hours hopping all over google results piecing this together.  Hope this helps others save time and frustration.

Most of the solutions came from Hyperstake Pi Wiki, Tranz's thread for Hobonickels Pi on Cryptocointalk and from a post by Pallas regarding DMD on RPi.
Last Edited: April 13 - Fixed various typos!

The usual prep steps:
Update your RPi

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Code:

sudo apt-get upgrade

This can take a while...

Change a few system settings

Code:

sudo raspi-config

Three things to do...
1) EXPAND FILESYSTEM so all the available space on the SD card is made available
2) BOOT OPTIONS - select CONSOLE so no memory etc is wasted on graphics
3) ADVANCED OPTIONS -> MEMORY SPLIT - set GPU memory to the minimum 16MB.
*You can change the boot options and GPU memory back to whatever you like after the compiling is done.
Reboot the RPi to put the changes into effect.

Install dependencies

Code:

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libboost1.50-dev libboost-filesystem1.50-dev libboost-system1.50-dev libboost-program-options1.50-dev libboost-thread1.50-dev libssl-dev libdb5.3++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libtool autoconf libboost-chrono1.50-dev libboost-test1.50-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

Create directories and clone the latest git *the version on Tranz's github are the newest.

Code:

cd ~ && mkdir -p ~/crypto && cd ~/crypto && rm -rf bottlecaps && git clone git://github.com/Tranz5/bottlecaps

OK now is where typically you would rush in and compile either the daemon or the QT...sadly if you try either it will fail so here are the magic steps
1)Bottlecaps is missing scrypt-arm.S so we need to find a copy...might as well keep it in the family and get it from Tranz's other coin HoboNickels

Code:

cd ~/crypto && rm -rf HoboNickels && git clone git://github.com/Tranz5/HoboNickels

Code:

cp ~/crypto/HoboNickels/src/scrypt-arm.S ~/crypto/bottlecaps/src/scrypt-arm.S

2)Edit makefile.unix.  We need to remove a reference to"-msse2" and add line for the scrypt-arm.S file.

Code:

cd ~/crypto/bottlecaps/src
sudo nano makefile.unix

Scroll down the file until you see

Code:

xCXXFLAGS=-O2 -msse2 -pthread -Wall...etc etc etc more words.........

and simply delete the "-msse2" so it looks like

Code:

xCXXFLAGS=-O2 -pthread -Wall...etc etc more words...

.
Keep scrolling down until you see

Code:

obj/scrypt-x86.o \
obj/scrypt-x86_64.o

and change it to

Code:

obj/scrypt-x86.o \
obj/scrypt-x86_64.o \
obj/scrypt-arm.o

Keep scrolling down until you see

Code:

obj/scrypt-x86_64.o: scrypt-x86_64.S
        $(CXX) -c $(xCXXFLAGS) -MMD -o $@ $<

and add the following below it

Code:

obj/scrypt-arm.o: scrypt-arm.S
        $(CXX) -c $(xCXXFLAGS) -MMD -o $@ $<

NOTE:  The second line requires a [TAB] at the start to look similar to above or you will get a 'no separator' error.
CNTRL-X to exit Nano and say YES to save.

3)Edit scrypt_mine.cpp

Code:

sudo nano scrypt_mine.cpp

Right near the top of the file remove the line

Code:

#include <xmmintrin.h>

Scroll down a few more lines until you see

Code:

#elif defined(__i386__)

and change it to

Code:

#else

CNTRL-X to exit Nano and say YES to save.

4)Edit bottlecaps-qt.pro to remove the "-msse2" and add scrypt-arm.S to the list of SOURCES.

Code:

cd ..

Code:

sudo nano bottlecaps-qt.pro

Similar to the makefile.unix look for any "-msse2" and delete them.

Code:

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -msse2
QMAKE_CFLAGS += -msse2

Delete these lines.
Now keep scrolling down until you see a section "SOURCES" with a long list of files.  The bottom of the list looks like this

Code:

src/kernel.cpp \
src/scrypt-x86.S \
src/scrypt-x86_64.S \
src/scrypt_mine.cpp \
src/qt/blockbrowser.cpp \
src/qt/savingsdialog.cpp \
src/pbkdf2.cpp

Add in a line for scrypt-arm.S to make it look like this

Code:

src/kernel.cpp \
src/scrypt-x86.S \
src/scrypt-x86_64.S \
src/scrypt-arm.S \
src/scrypt_mine.cpp \
src/qt/blockbrowser.cpp \
src/qt/savingsdialog.cpp \
src/pbkdf2.cpp

CNTRL-X to exit Nano and say YES to save.

Now you are ready to compile either the BottleCaps-Qt or just the headless daemon bottlecapsd

bottlecapsd

Code:

cd ~/crypto/bottlecaps/src

Code:

make -f makefile.unix

*takes a long time

Code:

strip bottlecapsd

Code:

sudo mv bottlecapsd /usr/local/bin

make a conf file

Code:

mkdir -p ~/.BottleCaps && echo -e "rpcuser=RobcoIndustriesUser\nrpcpassword=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd '[:alnum:]' | head -c32)\nrpcallowip=127.0.0.1\ngen=0\nserver=1\ndaemon=1\nlisten=1\n" > ~/.BottleCaps/BottleCaps.conf

*you can change the rpcuser value...
Now you can start bottlecaps headless by typing bottlecapsd at the command prompt
Example Image:

This is how I run Bottlecaps on my RPi B+.  The bottlecapsd and a 3.5" screen.

BottleCaps-Qt

Code:

cd ~/crypto/bottlecaps/

Code:

make clean

*only need the make clean step if you are retrying after a failed compile

Code:

qmake bottlecaps-qt.pro && make

this takes a loooooooooooooooong time.  Cross your fingers. 
If you get weird Assembler errors about no end of file it tends to mean you ran out of memory.  Make sure you have no other programs running besides the basics.  Reboot and try again.
If things go well eventually you will find a BottleCaps-qt file in the bottlecaps directory.  Woot!
make a conf file

Code:

mkdir -p ~/.BottleCaps && echo -e "rpcuser=RobcoIndustriesUser\nrpcpassword=$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -cd '[:alnum:]' | head -c32)\nrpcallowip=127.0.0.1\ngen=0\nserver=1\ndaemon=1\nlisten=1\n" > ~/.BottleCaps/BottleCaps.conf

*you can change the rpcuser value...

Now we can fire up the Raspbian GUI and try it out

Code:

startx

Open a terminal window by clicking the icon on the taskbar and enter

Code:

cd ~/crypto/bottlecaps

Code:

./BottleCaps-qt

And you should see this:

Resently invest in CAP, now price go down. Now CAP is dead coin? Or maybe Bigholders pay for listing on more exchanges?

np, its a good guide but wanted to try and avoid any confusion down the road

@Hilux74:

First of all, thanks a lot for so detailed guide, it's awesome. But I'm running into a little trouble: when I try 'make -f makefile.unix', I get this error: makefile.unix:160: *** missing separator. Stop. And then the shell returns and that's it.

Also, I noticed a couple of things that need a little correction, like in the sentence: 'obj/scrypt-x86_64.o\' I guess there need to be a space in between the "o" and the "\", like this: 'obj/scrypt-x86_64.o \'; and the sentence 'qmake bottlecap-qt.pro && make' is missing an "s", like this: 'qmake bottlecaps-qt.pro && make'.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Edit: I can confirm that the BottleCaps-Qt is working, but even after I added the nodes from the OP to the .conf file, it couldn't sync; so now I'm compiling it again with "USE_UPNP=1".

[Lutomysl]

This coin is almost dying, unfortunatly, there is some dumpers who brought the price too low on cryptopia, i mean, to a dangerous threshold.

there is no bottlecap website, no updated btctalk announcements.

we need someone who would like to do a website for the coin and we need tranz to update the announcement page.

this coin need to be added to a good exchange, especially poloniex, but we need people to ask them, it only takes 5mins to fill the request form, think about it guys.

if this coin doesnt become active soon, exchanges might ignore us because of inactivity.

what you guys think about that?

[GoldTiger69]

I just realize that when I start BottleCaps-qt, in terminal I get this message: "libEGL warning: DR12: failed to authenticate". Is that related to the problem of not syncing? How can I fix that?

Note: I'm running it on ROKOS v5 on a RPi-3.

Good catches on my typos.  I'll update the post with corrections.

Another thing I should have mentioned is at least on the RPi1 you should increase your default swap size.  Default is only 100MB and even on the B+ model it can run out of virtual memory mid way through a compile and fail.  I changed it back to the default when done compiling.

[GoldTiger69]

Finally I could fix the error from: "error: makefile.unix:160: *** missing separator. Stop."

Amazingly, it was caused for the lack of a 'tab' instead of 'spaces' in the line:  "$(CXX) -c $(xCXXFLAGS) -MMD -o $@ $<" (the one after "obj/scrypt-arm.o: scrypt-arm.S"). The line should be: "<tab>$(CXX) -c $(xCXXFLAGS) -MMD -o $@ $<".

Btw, I also changed:

Code:

obj/scrypt-x86.o \
obj/scrypt-x86_64.o \
obj/srcypt-arm.S

For:

Code:

obj/scrypt-x86.o \
obj/scrypt-x86_64.o \
obj/srcypt-arm.o

I'll let you know how that worked out when it finish compiling.

Edit: Success! Finally I could compile the bottlecapsd and it's running right now. The only problem that I haven't solve yet is the synchronization. Looks like it can't find peers. Does anyone would care to share some working peers, please?

Thanks in advance.

Again sorry for typos...any of the actual code pieces like that above I was looking at my Pi screen for the code and typing on my Windows desktop....and it was late at night...and i had wine....and... 

BTW...hope you changed it to obj/scrypt-arm.o....i notice my typo has the c and r backwards as well...

No need to sorry, on the contrary! thanks again for such a detailed guide! It is just great! (the typos are very understandable in such a long guide)

And yes, I did changed the .S for the .o, thanks

Btw, do you have some nodes that I can get a hold of for my .conf file? the daemon is running but it can't sync :/

Don't forget to make a backup of your wallet, Cheers!

Has someone tested/tried these files already? Will it be useful for RPi-2/3?

Thanks in advance.

[Lutomysl]

no, but files from PressF1 are reliable so try with confidence.
