Qt Bitcoin Trader on linux mint

[christian_uy]

Someone knows how to install the QtBitcoinTrader platform and if it is reliable and in passing I ask also if linux is secure enough to trade bitcoins (bitstamp, mtgox) what do you know about it.
I cant find the package in the repositories and it seems that only Gentoo has builded packages there is also rpm packages. Can't find how to compile ALL the files contained in the unzipped src folder. Only find on the net simple examples of how to compile one file tipically 'hello world'.
I have gcc installed
Thanks Christian.

A reply to myself . But it could be useful to someone else.
First a c++ program as QtBitcoinTrader need to be compoled with
g++
Example
~ $ g++ main.cpp -o my_main_compiled
-o indicates the output
which is a file called 'my_main_compiled'

'main' is the main file of a c++ program
there is actually a file called 'main' in the unzipped folder of qtbitcointrader

Compiling the main file is supposed to compile all other files
But
compiler can't find Some objects included on the main 'QUrl' and I supposed that it can't find the rest.

Sorry for this programming details in a bitcoin forum but this cold be useful if someone want
to install this tool or platform as they call it. Strange that it is not included in ubuntu repositories
to install easily .
I give up , and for the moment I' am not interested in doing day trading so ... No need to rush.

Thank I never knew about this software. Let me see if I can install it. 

If I can, then I let you know how to do it. 

[dragonkid]

Ok, I got it installed.

go to http://packages.altlinux.org/en/Sisyphus/srpms/QtBitcoinTrader/get

Download either i586 or x86_64 depending which CPU you got on your pc.

You want the .rpm file.

After downloading it. Use console to go to the same directory as the .rpm

Then:

sudo alien QtBitcoinTrader-1.07.74-alt1.x86_64.rpm

Then you will see that the .rpm is converted to .deb.

Then type:

sudo dpkg -i qtbitcointrader_1.07.74-1_amd64.deb

It should now be install in your Linux, you can find this in the application menu.

hey, there should be either makefile, ./configure script or some configuration for autoconf. have a look on some tutorial on how to compile form sourcecode. using just g++ from command line for bigger projects (more source files) is not a good idea ;-)

Sorry for taking so long to reply. Thank you both for your answers. ¡ And thank you Dragon_kid for that ! I' ll try to install using alien . ¿ Many days have passed since you install it , what is your experience with Qt Bitcoin Trader ?
I have a Bitstamp account . ¿ It works well with your market ?
Thanks again . Christian.

No luck for me using Alien. Package is converted without problems apparently .deb generated but after installation once you click the icon nothing happens.
This is with the i586.rpm ( different than dragonkid ).
¡ Still not believe that there is no binary packages for Ubuntu !
