        Just a status update: I was occupied with other topics the last days.

        Will focus on Ubuntu next, as Debian 7 is using qt4 only, which is causing issues when compiling the GUI Version and Debian 8 has a broken build chain for cmake, making it impossible at the moment to compile libzxing in my environment

                Some fine tuning still needs to be done and I need to describe how to add the repository to the sources list on the local PC.

                      As Version 0.9.3 was released today the Installation packages (.rpm / .deb) are made available here under ‘unstable’ as the packages are not part of the official distributions.

                      Updated also the status post above

                          Just a note that Feathercoin name is available for the Opensuse build service, might be worth having the Official builds there …

                            The same code is compiling fine on Ubuntu 15.04, Debian 8 and other distributions.

                            Possible answers being looked at :

                            Just reading about a similar problem compiling :

                            I think that the problem is that you put #ifdef instead of #ifndef at the top of your header.h file

                            a search for what includes boost showed - checkpoints.h

                            Which is a likely area for an error as it is included code for FTC. However, I can’t see a logical error in variable definition there, yet …

                            https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/blob/0.9.3.1/src/checkpoints.h

                            Also note https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/blob/0.9.3.1/src/rpcprotocol.cpp

                            last change was to fix compile error …

                            Also noted libqt5core5a replaces libqt5core5 mentioned in master-0.8/doc/readme-qt.rst

                              feathercoin-qt 0.8.7.3 now compiles for me under Kubuntu 15.10

                              Method :
                              Installing the 12.04 dependencies from master-0.8/doc/readme-qt.rst

                              A Library has changed name and become libqt5core5a, install that

                              qmake
                              make

                                Tried to register the Feathercoin name on opensuse build service but it has been taken (and abandoned ) by [email protected]

                                Gonna contact him to get the name.

                                    Re: Error Compiling Zetacoin Ubuntu
                                    January 29, 2016, 08:41:47 AMI have similar problems with various coins- the solution is usually I try a different version of boost-devel, make clean and recompile.


                                    Seems Boost 1.58 is the probable cause : – Found this post

                                    Considering that boost 1.59 seems fine with the code, I’d go for:

                                    if((${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION} EQUAL 1) AND (${Boost_MINOR_VERSION} EQUAL 58))
                                    message( STATUS “Defining BOOST_VARIANT_USE_RELAXED_GET_BY_DEFAULT”)
                                    add_definitions(“-DBOOST_VARIANT_USE_RELAXED_GET_BY_DEFAULT”)
                                    endif()

                                    just after the find_package( Boost … ) in the main CMakeLists.txt


                                    Looks like there was a PPA to get the latest Boost version : will continue tomorrow…

                                    qtbas5-dev appears to be installed correctly…

                                    QJsonObject: The compiler misses the file qjasonobject.h
                                    As Mint is a kind of special flavor of Ubuntu I checked the Ubuntu packages.
                                    You need to install the package qtbase5-dev. That package contains qjsonobject.h as you can see here:
                                    http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/amd64/qtbase5-dev/filelist

                                    QtPrintSupport/QPrinter: The compiler misses the file qprinter.h
                                    Again, the package qtbase5-dev contains the header files for QtPrintSupport.
                                    If you have installed qtbase5-dev, check for the directories containing qprinter.h and qjsonobject.h
                                    and specifiy these directories for the configure script. Use ‘configure --help’ for syntax.

                                    Did you add QT += printsupport in the pro file?
                                    It should work that way. Please let me know if you still have problems.

                                    Can’t find feathercoin.pro in 0.9.3.1 release source.


                                    Back to basics ran full instructions :

                                    qmake failed

                                    so ran full build with qmake -project :

                                    make clean
                                    ./autogen.sh
                                    autoupdate
                                    ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb
                                    qmake -project
                                    make


                                    Added QT += printsupport to feathercoin.pro file as suggested here :

                                    https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-27096

                                    Caused early crash of compile with error :

                                    edited utiltydialog.cpp to try a different “full path” to Qt “problem” libraries.

                                    #include “walletmodel.h”

                                    // Use QT5’s new modular classes
                                    #include <QtPrintSupport/qprinter.h>

                                    #include “walletmodel.h”

                                    Tried compile with modified headed and …/configure --with-incompatible-bdb --enable-dependency-tracking

                                    build failed.

                                      too much in one post.

                                      • qjasonobject:
                                        • is available with qt5 only. I’m not sure, which qt-package I installed to get it, if it is not the one I mentioned in the other thread
                                      • feathercoin.pro
                                        • doesn’t exist and is not needed for qt5 based compiles

                                      I will try to build for Ubuntu 15.10 and 6.04 with your modification in rpcrawtransaction.cpp. May be I also will try to change the dependency for boost lib to boost <= 1.59

                                        Don’t worry about the post yet, all is negative. Just documenting what I’ve tried, so Aciddude doesn’t duplicate effort…

                                        Still got a couple more things to grind through. I am starting to run out of ideas to try tho’.

                                        Trying to Install 1.59 is next on my list, I couldn’t easily find a PPA . (There is a bug in 1.58)

                                        That sounds like the easiest fix, now all know mods have been tried. If it worked, it would use the same code, so no special mods needed.

                                          Now we have the 0.8.7.3 build for Ubuntu is it more sensible to move to (testing) 0.11?

                                          and if 0.8.7.3 and 0.9.3.1 compile on 16.04?

                                          The problem does seem to be a glitch with libboost1.58-all-dev on Ubuntu 15.10 anyway. It seems to be a system dependancy.

                                          I’ve exhausted workarounds to try for the moment.

                                            I’d prefer to keep the 0.11.x versions on the testnet.
                                            Nevertheless @Lizhi ist using 0.11.2 on the prodnet. I asked him to specify his needs for the testnet, e.g. client versions to test compability and switch over to protocol version 4, but he didn’t come back to me.

                                            May be I can spare some time to try the build on ubuntu 16.04… but… it’s my wifes Birthday next Sunday, so probably I’ll have other duties :d
