Hey all, I am not much one for writing guides but thought I would share my steps for compiling DolphinCoin under the latest Xubuntu.
I'm new to compiling under linux, so please let me know if you see any problems with the steps, especially any major errors!
Steps should be the same for Ubuntu too I think, and would be similar steps for most other coins.
=============================================================
Building dolphincoin-qt on Xubuntu 14.04 LTS using Qt Creator
=============================================================
* Install Xubuntu 14.04 LTS from http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/ (suggest to install in a virtual machine e.g. VirtualBox).
* Open the terminal emulator in Xubuntu.
* Install qt-creator:
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
* Add the bitcoin PPA to get access to the libdb4.8++-dev package:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
* Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
* Get DolphinCoin source:
git clone https://github.com/DolphinCoin/dolphincoin
* Open Qt Creator via Xubuntu's main menu:
+ Choose File>OpenFile.. in Qt Creator
+ Navigate to the dolphincoin folder and open 'dolphincoin-qt.pro'
+ Click 'Configure Project'
+ Click 'Projects' in the Qt Creator sidebar
+ Under Build Steps/qmake, Click Details and add USE_UPNP=- to Additional arguments.
+ Click 'Manage Kits...' in the Projects window.
~ Select the 'Qt Versions' tab and click 'Add...'
~ Navigate to and select '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake'
~ Select the 'Kits' tab and choose Qt4 for the Qt version instead of Qt5.
~ Click ok.
+ Edit the file addressbookpage.cpp (under Sources/src/qt) and replace #include "QDesktopServices.h" with #include
(thanks to user who suggested this at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=625466.msg8467513;topicseen#msg8467513 )
+ Finally, select 'Build All' from Qt Creator's main menu.
If it builds successfully, you're Done! dolphincoin-qt should be somewhere under your home directory.
