[麥可貓]

Can someone checkin the htdocs somewhere?

I literally followed what I posted above and did not asked for any missed files.

i almost have a PPA ready, don't know how much time I'll have to work on it today though. that should make installation really easy

There is a guide for building qt_wallet of BitSharesX in ubuntu 14.04 here.
However, it's in chinese. So I roughly translate it as the following:

1. Install necessary packages:

Code Select Expand


$sudo apt-get update
$sudo apt-get install cmake git libreadline-dev uuid-dev g++ libdb++-dev libdb-dev zip libssl-dev openssl build-essential python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libboost-all-dev

in Ubuntu 14.04, you also have to install qt5.3.0 and node.js from their official sites.

2. Fetch the source code

Code Select Expand


$ git clone https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit.git
$ cd bitshares_toolkit
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update
$ git checkout 0.2.1
$cmake -DINCLUDE_QT_WALLET=ON CMakeLists.txt


3. Prepare the web wallet

Code Select Expand


$ sudo npm install -g lineman
$ cd programs/web_wallet && npm install
$ cd ../../ && make buildweb


4. Build and run your qt_wallet

Code Select Expand

$ make
and you will get your qt_wallet at bitsharesx/programs/qt_wallet:

Code Select Expand


$ bitsharesx/programs/qt_wallet/BitSharesX

I can post the htdocs somewhere when I get home.

So lineman is only used to generate the docs - thanks puppies  +5%

Is there no way to compile the qt-wallet without pulling in the whole of node.js onto my box?

edit.  here are some updated instructions.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cmake git libreadline-dev uuid-dev g++ libdb++-dev libdb-dev zip libssl-dev openssl build-essential python-dev autotools-dev libicu-dev libbz2-dev libboost-dev libboost-all-dev qt5-default libqt5webkit5-dev npm nodejs-legacy
git clone https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx.git
cd bitsharesx
git checkout 0.4.5 (use the version number you want to build in this place.)
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd programs/web_wallet
sudo npm install -g lineman
sudo npm install
cd ../..
cmake -DINCLUDE_QT_WALLET=ON .
make buildweb
make

If all goes well you will have an executable named BitSharesX in /bitsharesx/programs/qt_wallet/bin that will be your gui wallet.

This is how I have been doing it.

To upgrade

Code Select Expand


cd bitsharesx
git pull https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx.git "put version number here without quotes"
git submodule update
cmake -DINCLUDE_QT_WALLET=ON .
make buildweb
make

This last update threw an error at the make buildweb step about htdocs already existing.  I ended up just renaming bitsharesx/programs/qt_wallet/htdocs and trying again.

System Ubuntu 14.04
I complied bitsharesx.git (hat to increase the swap).
How do I run the GUI wallet in Ubuntu? Do I follow instructions in /qt_wallet/README.md ?
Are there different wallets (webwallet and desktop wallet) or just one?
Thanks!

BUILD_OSX has instructions that should be helpful for Ubuntu as well.
