Update documentation - Build from source on Debian based systems :: commit
Update software build instructions to minimise FTC changes over Bitcoin documentation
https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/commit/14e7f5d7ad86bff09b52363dd38b22e118d02f2c
Examples of the updates
+Feathercoin 0.9.3.2 +=================== +[Feathercoin Core] is the original Feathercoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Feathercoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once. +Example UNIX Build from source +------------------------------ +The Feathercoin wallet contains a number of features which require additional libraries to the Bitcoin build instructions.
Updates to simplify build instructions documentation to FTC specific features.
+### Download the .deb file or install the zxing binaries available after installing the Feathercoin PPA + + +(http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8327/guide-feathercoin-wallet-ppa-and-binaries-on-ubuntu-and-debian-linux) + +As Super user (or sudo) create a file named **opensuse.list** in the directory + + /etc/apt/sources.list.d + +For your OS, copy the command into /etc/apt/sources.list.d and save it. + + deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wellenreiter01/xUbuntu_16.04 ./ + +download the repository key: + wget http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/wellenreiter01/Debian_7.0/Release.key + +Then add the key to your system: + + sudo apt-key add Release.key + + sudo apt-get update + sudo apt-get install libzxing + + +### If PPA or .deb does not work, compile the zxing libraries yourself, download the sources from github.com. + +Search for zxing-cpp to get the c++ version of the code. + +https://github.com/glassechidna/zxing-cpp + +Build command for libzxing : + +sudo apt-get install cmake + +cd zxing-cpp + +mkdir build +cd build

+Bitmessage is an open source fully encrypted peer to peer messaging system. Because it does not pass through a central server it is also harder to collect meta data. + +In order to pass invoices or addresses privately, a version of BitMessage can be set up to integrate with Feathercoin. + +Currently Bitmessage acts as a plugin with MS Windows, invoice information can be passed straight through to an encrypted message. Install BitMessage for windows and copy the executable to the Feathercoin install directory. + +It is still worth considering using Bitmessage to send your public address keys, although that is mostly about privacy not extra security. + +https://github.com/cqtenq/PyBitmessage + + +Installing BitMessage plugin under Linux +---------------------------------------- + +In Debian based systems you can create a script file (pybitmessage) and copy it to /usr/bin, make the script executable to activate the Feathercoin wallet BitMessage plugin. + +/usr/bin/pybitmessage + +#!/bin/sh +cd /usr/share/pybitmessage +exec /usr/bin/python2 bitmessagemain.py + + +From BitMessage install directory + +#!/bin/sh +cd ~/PyBitmessage/src +exec python ~/PyBitmessage/src/bitmessagemain.py + +
