          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 …

                      Building 0.8.7.3 and 0.9.3.1 on Ubuntu

                      Build service errors

                      Currently I get this error messages:

                      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.

                              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.

                              Searched for qjsonobject.h and qjsonobject.h not found


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

                              All instances of “#include <QPrinter>” or “#include <QPrintDialog>” that I had in my Qt4 project must now be replaced by “#include <Qt/qprinter.h>” or “#include <Qt/qprintdialog.h>”, which is not Qt standard.

                              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

                              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”

                              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

                                        I’ve got a dev box at home with 14.04 LTS installed on it. Would getting this working on that help at all? If so, what version should I try?

                                        I managed to get my primary wallet running on Centos 7 but that was a totally different scenario.

                                        Just trying to help out, the wife passed 6 weeks ago and I’m trying to keep busy. I’ve been pretty active with Syscoin lately so a lot of this is pretty fresh to me.

                                            There isn’t a problem with building on Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04,

                                            the problems are now finding why Feathercoin 0.9.3.1 doesn’t build for Ubuntu 15.10 (probably a bug in libboost1.58 Ubuntu dependency).

                                            Looking into whether (the Centos problem) solution of upgrading to 1.59 can be done (compile from source) and run on standard installs of Ubuntu …

                                            and testing 0.8.7.3 and 0.9.3.2 builds on Ubuntu 16.04

                                            Source code :
                                            https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin

                                            Build Instructions in /doc for wallet (feathercoin-qt) dependencies : multiwallet-qt.md
                                            Build Instructions in /doc for daemon (feathercoind) dependencies : readme-qt.rst (only available in 0.8.3 currently)

                                            Then (remove the --with-incompatible-bdb to retain 4.8 version dB)

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