[Solved] Can't compile Feathercoin-qt on Fedora 20

wrapper

This has been highlighted as a potential compilation problem on GNU/Linux from Github #62:

“Just getting feathercoin-qt compiled on Fedora 20 and on start I get:”

feathercoin-qt: …/wallet/src/key.cpp:134: {anonymous}::CECKey::CECKey(): Assertion `pkey != __null’ failed.

Answer:

Vertcoin experienced the same error : vertcoin/vertcoin#6

It’s because the Fedora openssl builds don’t implement one of the elliptic curve functions needed (secp256k1) - it’s a licensing thing.

Here’s a patch for you: In the main vertcoin folder (so, at a level where if you do ls you can see subdirectories contrib, src, doc, share etc)

patch -p1
