First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
-distribution are installed, for Debian and Ubuntu these are:

::
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
+for Ubuntu >= 12.04 (please read the 'Berkely DB version warning' below):
+
+::
+

then execute the following:

- Open the .pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (cmd-B)

============================
-UPNnP port forwarding
----------------------
+LevelDB transaction index
+--------------------------
-To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable novacoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
+To use LevelDB for transaction index, pass the following argument to qmake:
::
- qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
+ qmake "USE_LEVELDB=1"
+
+No additional external dependencies are required. If you're running this on your current sources tree then don't forget to run
-(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
+::
+
+ make distclean
-This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from
-http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/. UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
+prior to running qmake.
-Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
+Assembler implementation of scrypt hashing
+------------------------------------------
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=- | no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required; |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=0 | (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime; |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=1 | build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime. |

+To use optimized scrypt implementation instead of generic scrypt module, pass the following argument to qmake:
+
+::
+
+ qmake "USE_ASM=1"
+
+
+If you're using clang compiler then you need to unroll macroses before compiling. Following commands will do this for you:
+
+::
+
+ cd src/
+ ../contrib/clang/nomacro.pl
+
+No additional external dependencies required. Note that only x86, x86_64 and ARM processors are supported.

Generation of QR codes
-----------------------
-libqrencode may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests.
-It can be downloaded from http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.html.en, or installed via your package manager. Pass the USE_QRCODE
-flag to qmake to control this:
-

-| USE_QRCODE=0 | (the default) No QRCode support - libarcode not required |

-| USE_QRCODE=1 | QRCode support enabled |

Berkely DB version warning
==========================
A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Novacoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**).
-The static binary version of Novacoin is linked against libdb4.8 (see also `this Debian issue`_).
-
-Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X.
+The static binary version of Novacoin is linked against libdb5.3.
-If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you
+If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, for example, any source you
build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded,
and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without
significant hassle!
