Compile bitcoind v0.8.6 on Linux Crunchbang-Waldorf

[Polyatomic]

Find a mirror to add to your /etc/apt/sources.list here https://www.debian.org/mirror/list so you can grap the older libdb4.8 packages needed. They can be found in the oldstable package repositories

Pick one to add. I'm in Australia so for example i added , deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ oldstable main    <-- notice the oldstable  : )

Now prep for the build

Code:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++dev libminiupnpc-dev

clone a repository

Code:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

Code:

https://git.gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind.git

you can git checkout 0.8.6 or Luke-jr has a good one v0.8.6.eligius4 at gitorious

once you have the souce you can

Code:

cd bitcoin/src

make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1

grab something to drink and when you come back you should have bitcoind compiled on Linux Crunchbang-Waldorf.

Crunchbang is based on Debian Wheezy so , I imagine this will work on that also.  : D

How did you go?

I'd be more interested in how / if you get 0.9.1 compiled as it's missing the makefile.unix?
