Looks very similiar to what I do, although I have not tried out every step in a fresh check-out. But I remember that in particular the UPNP thing has always bugged me, because I usually build without libminiupnp. Nice to see that this is actually mentioned on the page! Also note that the Ubuntu/Debian packages required look good to me, but I have no idea whether that list is indeed complete / up-to-date.

Thanks for checking!

BTW: Automatic building on Windows has some trouble as MinGW removed the installer... found a solution now, fix should come soon.

Yes, I also saw this problem on Debian (Squeeze at least, I think it works with Wheezy). chrono seems to be a newer addition to Boost, so not sure when those will be added to respective package repositories. You can manually compile & install Boost, that's what I did on my Debian Squeeze VPS.

You can simply remove boost_chrono from src/Makefile, that's what I do in my packages:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show ... s/namecoin

This is what I do in the build scripts:

Code: Select all

sed -i  '/.-l \(z\|boost_chrono\|dl\|gthread\)/d' src/Makefile
sed -i '/lrt/d' namecoin-qt.pro

It also removes libdl, libgthread and librt which don't seem to be used either.

Thanks.
Namecoin-QT started and synchronizing without error message on a new installed Xubuntu 12.04 VM.
I am waiting to finish syncronizing then I will make other tests also.
On compiling a lot of warnings:
- unsigned streams ...
- unused variable fRead, fWrite, fGetSize a couple of times
- some other warnings
but no failure.

Namecoin-qt worked without error and synchronized.
It is a good wiki and well done also. Thanks.
------------
But installed namecoind dependencies on the same machine(xubuntu 12.04), which had different library requirement and I let them overwrite.
Nameicoind failured for some reasons.
Namecoin-qt also doesn't start any more because some dependencies not any more satisfied. (probably overwritten from the namecoind library version)
I will install back the namecoin-qt library versions. what I had before May be namecoind can accept it.
Is it not possible that namecoind and namecoin-qt use the same library version ?

[pmc]

If you use the same builds of namecoind and namecoin-qt (or build them yourself on the same machine) they should use the same library versions.
