BuildNamecoinFromSource
From Namecoin DNS
Add below tips and links to blogged Namecoin build experiences on various platforms;
Source build links :
Ubuntu
CentOS, RH-derivative
- provides a makefile (out of date as of dec-7-2011, changes ported to current makefile.unix -> http://pastebin.com/8f79cMja --keepishop)
- local dep. library template probably work fine for other *nix too
Tips for building from source :
- the binaries that majority of clients are running are built using khal's source git tree
- top of official git tree of vinced is often alpha (bleeding edge) and may contain runtime behaviour that is inconsistent with the majority of nodes
- standard Namecoin/Bitcoin build notes are in with source ~/namecoin/build-*.txt
- optionally building without upnp support
$ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=
- Install libglib2.0-dev if you have the following error :
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgthread-2.0
