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

Update build instructions with PPA

 +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
 +
 +
