I'll have to create a 14.04 vm to look at this directly, this is too messy to be dealt with remotely. Will get back to you.

And post the error output.

To configure the project (from within the /Code/BitcoinArmory folder):

Code:
sh autogen.sh
./configure

The configure script may fail, telling you you are missing certain packages. In this case, you want to install the package, using apt-get.


It did fail, but not for reasons of missing packages (so far as I can tell). The error message(s) that I got were:
Code:
Preparing build .... Warning: autoreconf failed
Attempting to run the preparation steps individually

Preparing build .... ERROR: aclocal failed

Hmmm...

Pick a folder in which which the code is to be downloaded to, let's call it "Code".

First, make sure you have these packages installed:

Quote
git
autoconf
libtool

You can install packages running this command:

Code:
sudo apt-get install [package name]

To download the source (from within the "Code" folder):

Code:
git clone https://github/goatpig/BitcoinArmory.git
cd BitcoinArmory
git checkout testing
git submodule init
git submodule update

To configure the project (from within the /Code/BitcoinArmory folder):

Code:
sh autogen.sh
./configure

The configure script may fail, telling you you are missing certain packages. In this case, you want to install the package, using apt-get.

Finally to build and install (still from the same folder):

Code:
make -j8
sudo make install

Building a binary sounds complicated (to me — I have not done that before). I upgraded and broke a bunch of packages. Okay, now rolling back — any pointers on how to do this would be much appreciated!

These binaries are built on a gcc that's too recent for 14.04.

You don't need to upgrade however, you can just build yourself, it's fairly easy on ubuntu.

Thanks for the response. I get a "dependency not satisfiable" error re: libstdc++  (>=5.2) when I try that. This is running Ubuntu 14.04 and claims the version of libstdc++ that I have is the latest version. Must I upgrade to 16.04, or is there some other workaround?

Hello,
Wondering if this is genuinely stuck (has read 4%, building database, for the last six hours). The python2 and bitcoind processes are still alive. I am on a relatively old machine. Logs are as follows:

Thank you.
