31 If using Boost 1.37, append -mt to the boost libraries in the makefile.
33 Requires wxWidgets 2.9.0 or greater, which uses UTF-8. Don't try 2.8, it
36 You need to download wxWidgets from http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/
37 and build it yourself. See the build instructions and configure parameters
40 Requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. To compile with UPnP support,
41 install miniupnpc and compile after setting USE_UPNP. It can be downloaded
42 from http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/.
44 Licenses of statically linked libraries:
45 wxWidgets LGPL 2.1 with very liberal exceptions
46 Berkeley DB New BSD license with additional requirement that linked software must be free open source
47 Boost MIT-like license
48 miniupnpc New (3-clause) BSD license
50 Versions used in this release:
61 The UI layout is edited with wxFormBuilder. The project file is
62 uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base
63 classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements.
65 The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoin" to strip the debug
66 symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.

94 You need Berkeley DB 4.7. Don't use 4.8, the database/log0000* files
95 are incompatible. If you have to build Berkeley DB yourself:
96 ../dist/configure --enable-cxx
