Linux binary for Bytecoin new version, please
The Linux binaries are still in version 0.8.4.290. That's too old. I now have sucessfully compiled a new wallet version 0.8.6.295 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTO. It's not trivial.
The README for the current source code tells me to use gcc 4.7.3 or later. Ubuntu 12.04 has an older version of gcc. I don't know how to bring this together. I personally don't want to run after new versions in ever shorter intervals.
I prefer to simply install packages. Of course the compilation of all prerequisites should be possible, but the overhead is too large for me. And beginning with Ubuntu 14.04 LTO they have implemented this stupid 3D desktop, which is incredible slow on VMs, with a process "compiz" consuming a lot of processing time. I get crazy.
On xubuntu the desktop is much more light, but I don't know how to install the prerequisites "cmake", and "c++" (build-essentials).
