UNIX BUILD NOTES ================ Dependencies ------------ sudo apt-get install build-essential sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev sudo apt-get install libssl-dev sudo apt-get install libdb4.7-dev sudo apt-get install libdb4.7++-dev sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev We're now using wxWidgets 2.9, which uses UTF-8. There isn't currently a debian package of wxWidgets we can use. The 2.8 packages for Karmic are UTF-16 unicode and won't work for us, and we've had trouble building 2.8 on 64-bit. You need to download wxWidgets from http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ and build it yourself. See the build instructions and configure parameters below. Licenses of statically linked libraries: wxWidgets LGPL 2.1 with very liberal exceptions Berkeley DB New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source Boost MIT-like license Versions used in this release: GCC 4.4.3 OpenSSL 0.9.8k wxWidgets 2.9.0 Berkeley DB 4.7.25.NC Boost 1.40.0 Notes ----- The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. The project file is uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements. The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoin" to strip the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%. wxWidgets --------- cd /usr/local tar -xzvf wxWidgets-2.9.0.tar.gz cd /usr/local/wxWidgets-2.9.0 mkdir buildgtk cd buildgtk ../configure --with-gtk --enable-debug --disable-shared --enable-monolithic make sudo su make install ldconfig su cd .. mkdir buildbase cd buildbase ../configure --disable-gui --enable-debug --disable-shared --enable-monolithic make sudo su make install ldconfig Boost ----- If you want to build Boost yourself, cd /usr/local/boost_1_40_0 su ./bootstrap.sh ./bjam install
