This guide is still valid for the current 0.9.6.1 branch

0.9.6.1 also builds with boost 1.64.0 and QT 5.8

That’s the solution to one of the little problems I have while creating the Linux installation packages :)

Many thanks

Love a good screen shot!

Apart from my Grandmother is dead, I have contributed a lot of work for free to Github for Feathercoin. How can “anybody” buy a MSI compiler, if they don’t have anything to download and build from Github?

There is some good information in @Sheepson 's guide, which is now out of date, but could be used in a new guide with updated links.

Sheepson contributed a lot to early FTC mining.

After Ghostlander did so much new work on it, I’m now recommending NSGminer.

tried to install http://www.ftc-c.com/pack4/featercoin-osx-0.9.3.1.zip and says is damaged or complete when go to install? OSX 10.11.3. here cheers for any help!

@Wellenreiter thanx 'senior…

*SOLVED

Install OpenSSL 1.0.2d by manual

cd /usr/local/
tar xvfz openssl-1.0.2d.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.0.2d
./config no-zlib no-ssl2 no-ssl3 --prefix=/usr/local --openssldir=/usr/local/lib/ssl
make
make install

./configure --disable-upnp-default --disable-tests --disable-hardening --with-gui=no --without-miniupnpc --with-boost-libdir=/usr/local/lib LDFLAGS=“-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/” CPPFLAGS=“-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/” --with-openssl-libdir=/root/openssl-1.0.2d
make

Easy.

This is old, but still comes up on Google search, so for anyone trying to download the libdb and failing, switch the version from 4.8 to 5.1.********SEE NOTES AT BOTTOM*********

Apparently the the old one was outdated enough to completely remove from the standard apt-get repositories.

Also, if you’re building feathercoind on a virtual server or droplet, it seems no amount of allocated RAM will allow to build. You need swap space. Do that with:

free dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap.img bs=1024k count=1000 mkswap /var/swap.img swapon /var/swap.img free

Verify there isn’t any swap space, use line two to allocate some, line three to make it, line 4 to put it in use, line five to verify that it’s working. From there go back and sudo makefile as per these instructions.

up to 5.1? DON’T DO THIS. It breaks functionality not in ways that’ll eat your wallet or anything but it misbehaves with rpc shit.

Ever wonder why it “just works” for some people and not others? Those it works for have the bitcoin repository added before they run the command:

https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/ubuntu/bitcoin

Add that, libdb4.8 will install just fine.

So, there, hopefully I saved some unsuspecting n00b building services for FTC some time.

Love this. Is this still working since the hard fork?

Well, if they upgraded the client on their server to 0.8.7.x, it will work as before.

Has anybody sent them a head up or a trigger to upgrade? We cannot assume, that they follow the forum closely.

Thank you

I agree that it does come off as something charity related…it distracts from the other objectives.

How do I know if I am correctly solo mining? My cards are all hashing, but the cmd line keeps refreshing with “new block detected on network” and then the block changes.

Thats a good question. Its a bit hidden down here in guides. Do you want to re ask it in Mining?
