Topic: help with bitcoin client install (Read 706 times)

What is the output of autogen.sh and configure commands? I'm guessing that you did not install the build dependencies like autoconf, autoreconf, and automake. Follow the build instructions that IngerDev linked to.

Do you really have to install from source?

You can just run the binary.

Did u followed this steps?

Hey guys .. i am installing the bitcoin client on my OS. I am currently running Kali Linux 2.0. I have already installed Berkeley DB 4.8 and run the .configure command. but when i run the next command it is telling me to run the make command i am not able to finish the install ... i have done this..

Configure the system for compilation
root@kali:/root/bitcoin# ./autogen.sh

then

root@kali:/root/bitcoin# ./configure

then I run

root@kali:/root/bitcoin# make

and this is what ome/madmax# cd bitcoin
root@kali:/home/madmax/bitcoin# ls
aclocal.m4      config.log    COPYING  libbitcoinconsensus.pc.in  README.md
autogen.sh      configure     depends  Makefile.am                share
autom4te.cache  configure.ac  doc      Makefile.in                src
build-aux       contrib       INSTALL  qa
root@kali:/home/madmax/bitcoin# make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
root@kali:/home/madmax/bitcoin# make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.
root@kali:/home/madmax/bitcoin# ^C
root@kali:/home/madmax/bitcoin#


it says...

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

root@kali:/root/bitcoin# make install
make install
make: *** No rule to make target 'install'.  Stop.


any suggestions?? I can't seem to figure out what to do next or what command to run or in which order.. am i forgetting something here?0 any help would be appreciative..
