Title: linux and the QT client... it's a pain
Post by: fav on November 23, 2013, 03:22:03 pm: Hi,

just built protoshares on my freshly installed ubuntu... and it's a horrible experience.

first of all, the lack of a installation manual is hilarious.

but to the main problem:

although the client shows 8 connections it just won't sync properly, most of the time. and if it does, it stops after a short period.

any help?

What were the commands that you used to build protoshares-qt?

Is your Ubuntu installation up-to-date? I ask since "freshly installed" does not necessarily mean up-to-date.

Are the required dependencies installed? (https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares/blob/psforkinit/doc/readme-qt.rst)

I have a functional protoshares-qt which I compiled on my Arch Linux 64-bit system. I recall having a similar problem with syncing in the past, but I do not experience that after the most recent git commits. I can share how I compiled it if that would be useful for you.

Post by: fav on November 23, 2013, 04:48:25 pm: used http://pastebin.com/b9BHARLS as reference.

and yes, all deps are installed

Post by: Evan on November 23, 2013, 05:23:31 pm: I tried using the cmake method from the pastebin and got a lot of undefined references, then make failed. I don't know if this might be due to differences between Arch and Ubuntu or user error on my part.

Code: [Select]
CMakeFiles/protosharesd.dir/build.make:91: recipe for target 'protosharesd' failed make[2]: *** [protosharesd] Error 1 CMakeFiles/Makefile2:99: recipe for target 'CMakeFiles/protosharesd.dir/all' failed make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/protosharesd.dir/all] Error 2 Makefile:75: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2
I used the qmake method to compile protoshares-qt successfully after ensuring all dependencies are installed:

Code: [Select]
git clone git://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares.git cd ProtoShares/ qmake-qt4 -makefile protoshares-qt.pro make
Try substituting qmake if qmake-qt4 is not found on your system.

No problem, favdesu. I'm glad that it worked for you.

OpenSSL differs on .rpm distros (http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/7940/how-do-i-build-bitcoin-in-fedora-18), but the parts needed for Bitcoin and its derivatives should be enabled by default in Fedora 20 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=319901). I have no experience compiling Bitcoin on Fedora myself, however.

Redhat does not include EC crypto in their bundled OpenSSL due to US export restrictions. You have to build one yourself: http://danielpocock.com/ussing-ecc-ecdsa-in-openssl-and-strongswan-fedora (http://danielpocock.com/ussing-ecc-ecdsa-in-openssl-and-strongswan-fedora)

That made the trick.
