compiling bitcoind on ubuntu-server 12.04

making bitcoind

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git-core build-essential libssl-dev libboost-all-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev libgtk2.0-dev

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin/src

make -f makefile.unix clean; make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP= bitcoind



# from #bitcoin-dev:
# sacarlson: USE_UPNP= : don't build upnp, USE_UPNP=0 : build but disable by default, USE_UPNP=1 : build but enable by default

# optionally, 
strip bitcoind

Same commands work for namecoind if you just replace "bitcoin" with "namecoin"

Got this error when grabbing bitcoind from apt on Ubuntu 12.04

"version" : 32400
"errors" : "URGENT: upgrade required, see http://bitcoin.org/dos for details"

Thanks for the quick solution.

I needed to add libminiupnpc-dev and libminiupnpc8. Thanks for the notes.

damn... didnt see the gtk, now the uninstall procedure can beginn... -.-

Don't use libdb5.1 unless you enjoy having a non-portable wallet.dat

To find out how to setup your own bitcoind daemon server running locally on virtualbox & ubuntu, you can check out my guide here: Guide to compile & install Bitcoind on Ubuntu 12.04 using VirtualBox

Nothing is said here about a correct version of Berkley DB, which has to be db4 or something.
Otherwise, the built-in wallet becomes incompatible.
