[Paid] [Bounty: 10 BTC] Bitcoind build instructions for Centos x86 and x64

[neonzeon]

I finally got CentOS 6.4 to rebuiild openssl with elliptic curves enabled, as required for Bitcoin.

The primary issue is that the CentOS openssl source package contains tarball openssl-1.0.0-usa.tar.bz2

The correct replacement tarball package from openssl.org would be this one http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.0.tar.gz

Secondly, a patch from openssl.org is also needed: http://cvs.openssl.org/patchset?cn=19998

After the above two downloads, the spec file is edited to enable EC, point to the new source, and update the release number.

Detailed instructions on to do the build are here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=239337.msg2624466#msg2624466

I think we need an update again.  Having a heck of a time trying to build on centos.  The github script works partly.. it builds the toolchain.. mostly.  I got that working.  But configure in bitcoind bombs out on the boost configure.

I'm trying to compile the current version of bitcoin on Centos and I'm having some issues as well.  Does anyone have a good process for compiling bitcoin 0.9.1 on Centos 6.5 (x64)?  Thanks in advance.
