thanks, I'll play with that, I want to get gitian builder setup in my VMbox but I'm not sure how to install it from the source (I assume you compile, but as you can see I'm learning about compiling at the moment making it hard for me to install gitian)
gitian is pretty easy. it sets up the vm, installs all the packages needed for compilation, and compiles it. It's all done inside a vm with scripts (included with bitcoin), so it's actually easier than compiling using your own tools.agreed, my issue is more getting gitian setup, the link I find is source code from github but what to do with it after I download it I'm kind of at a loss
2. sudo apt-get install git apache2 apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder ruby qemu-kvm
3. git clone https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
4. cd gitian-builder
5. bin/make-base-vm
6. bin/make-base-vm --arch i386
7. follow the instructions in the script i linked earlier.
after step 5:
Code:

how to step 6,7?
