If you have the right hardware; 64-bit cable CPU with hardware virtualization support, then the gitian build system is what you are looking for. utilizing gitian should get you the same binaries as those originally released.

https://gitian.org - that is it?

Older versions are not "simpler". They may actually be harder to understand as not everything is named logically or commented well. With newer versions of the code, most things are well commented and named appropriately. Things that aren't are typically shared with older versions so using an older version really won't help.

Also newer versions have documentation that makes it easier to build and do other common things with the software.

Thank you, I will take note. ... but, besides, I like that in older versions there is a built-in miner Smiley

I agree. Maybe later I will. I'm really a beginner Smiley and Bitcoin Core 0.8 was the simplest version of all.

Why did you use BItcoin Core 0.8? Everything that is in 0.8 is available in the most recent release of Bitcoin Core (and the master branch). You should use those instead. Those also include things such as better cross compilation, increased performance, and many security and bug fixes.

Hello!

I create altcoin from bitcoin core 0.8 and it's working on Ubuntu 16.04.

And now I need a Windows-client bitcoin-qt.

How can I create it on Ubuntu 16.04? (cross-platform compile).

Thank you!
