How do I run the namecoin I built from git?

Post by FULl »

Hi,

I'm building identical versions of Namecoin from the git repo in both Windows & Linux.

I finished building the namecoind from the git repo in Linux, but when I look in the dir it created in ~, I don't see an executable to make a launcher for.

How do I run it?

Thanks,
-F

The file(s) will be in the source directory (namecoin-qt in the root directory and namecoind in src).

Use your Namecoin identity as OpenID: https://nameid.org/

In src, there's namecoin.cpp & namecoin.h, but no namecoind.

In root, there's a namecoin-qt.pro.

It appeared to build correctly, no errors were visible at the end of the output before it dropped to a $ prompt again.

What could it be?

Did you actually build the daemon, or only the qt?

You need to enter the "src" directory and run "make" from there to build the daemon.

I did that, & this is what I got.

It wouldn't build on Windows, so I can't have the same version on both machines.

I'm working around it by transferring wallet.dat back & forth right now.

I'll just change my workflow, it's not really worth the effort for what I'm trying to do. If it worked off the bat it would've been nice though.

Did you use EasyWinBuilder in the contrib folder? What error did you get?
nx.bit - some namecoin stats
nf.bit - shortcut to this forum

No suitable c compiler found.

I installed Mingw like it said to, too.
