Since I have to post once I’ll just give an update of where I am with feathercoin. I have been scouring the net looking for information about the current state of cryptocoins. I came across feathercoin and it looks like a nice community. That is what the introductory video emphasises at least.
I decided to start setting up all the software to see what I can mine on a regular PC with no special hardware.
[list]
[*]I went to the github project page: [url=https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin]https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin[/url]
[*]Downloaded a zip of everything to my OS Ubuntu 12.04
[*]Created a subfolder /home/LaidBack/Programs/feathercoin to extract everything
[*]Everything is owned by my user account instead of root
[*]Referenced [url=https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst]https://github.com/FeatherCoin/FeatherCoin/blob/master/doc/readme-qt.rst[/url] and followed the Debian build instructions
[*]Installed required packages for Qt4 development and ran “qtmake feathercoin-qt.pro” followed by “make” command
[/list]I ended up with the following fatal error and could not make the Makefile created from the qtmake command.

[/code]It looks like I am not going to get the feathercoin client working tonight, but I’ll follow up if I figure out something.

I’m like you. I use windows, but I can’t get cgminer to work to save my life! Hopefully you’re able to resolve it, or someone else knows what the issue is.
