Neat.
Remember folks, don't use real bitcoin wallets in a development environment.
Topic: Bitcoin-qt Development Ubuntu 12.10 Virtual Machine (Read 3453 times)
Was going to do some dev so built this and wondered if anyone else would like to use it.
1) Download and install Virtual Box: https://www.virtualbox.org/
2) Download via torrent this: http://www.rowit.co.uk/bitcoin-qt-dev.zip.torrent (please seed if you do as 1.5Gig!).
3) Unzip it.
4) Start the virtual machine that it contains.
Bitcoin is in:
~/bitcoin
Just cd to there and type:
git pull
to get latest version
Open QT (Green Icon on left of screen)
Click run in bottom left and bitcoin-qt will compile (3-10mins) then start up.
sudo password is bitcoin.
Below is screenshot:
I should spend a bit of time uninstalling stuff to make image smaller...
Or you can do it yourself by:
download
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
From Terminal:
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
sudo apt-get install g++ build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev
cd bitcoin/src
make -f makefile.unix
./bitcoind
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev
cd ..
qmake
make
./bitcoin-qt
