First you will need QT. THis is a development engine for unix/Mac
#
sudo apt-get install synaptic
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev libqt4-core libqt4-gui
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost1.37-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb++-dev
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost1.48-all-dev
sudo apt-get install miniupnpc
#
if you get stuck http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Qt-SDK-on-Ubuntu-Linux
Now, There is a special unix file i had to find, in order for the silly thing to compile
# wget http://miniupnp.free.fr/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.5.tar.gz
download and install this
then we must go into the files, configure and install it.
#cd miniupnpc-1.5
#./configure
#make install
This should add the files to the system.
Install git
#sudo apt-get install git-core
Now the nitty gritty
# git clone https://github.com/asiccoin/asiccoin
# cd asiccoin/src/
general unix
# make -f makefile.unix
OR if you are on Ubuntu
# make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=
this can take a while depending on your system. If you come across any errors is usually missing files i have not mentioned. So use some google.
Your compiled version should be in asiccoin/src
I did this on a remote cloud server running ubuntu terminal. So it should be straight forward for your general coder. GL
