Ethereum: Compiling Litecoin on Ubuntu Server 11.10 i386
Introduction
Litecoin is a popular decentralized cryptocurrency that uses the Ethereum blockchain, known for its scalability and security. However, compiling Litecoin requires specific setup and configuration on an Ubuntu Server 11.10 i386. In this article, we will walk you through the process of setting up the environment and compiling Litecoin using g++.
Prerequisites
Before proceeding, make sure you have:
- Ubuntu Server 11.10 installed: Make sure your Ubuntu Server is running the latest version.
- CPU Architecture Set to i386: The recipe provided assumes an i386 architecture. Make sure your CPU architecture is set to i386 (e.g. Intel Core i5 or equivalent).
Step by Step Instructions
- Clone the Litecoin Repository
git clone
This will clone the official Litecoin repository.
- Change to the Litecoin source directory
cd ~/litecoin/src/
Navigate to the Litecoin source directory, which is located at ~/litecoin/src/
.
- Update and compile Litecoind
make -f makefile.unix litecoind
This command compiles the Litecoin executable using a custommakefile.unixfile.
Note:
The-f makefile.unixflag tells the compiler to use the custom
makefile.unixfile, which is specific to this recipe. If you encounter errors or warnings during compilation, please refer to the documentation provided for troubleshooting.
- Create a new directory and move the Litecoin files
mkdir ~/....
mv ~/litecoin/src/./litecoind /home/ubuntu/server/lightcoin/
Create a new directory (~/) and move the compiled Litecoin executable (
~/$litecoin/src/./litecoind) to the
/home/ubuntu/server/lightcoin/directory on your server.
Verify the compilation
To verify that the compilation was successful, check the contents of the~/lightcoin/lightcoinddirectory:
ls -l ~/lightcoind/
You should see the compiled Litecoin executable (litecoind
) and other required files.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you have successfully compiled Litecoin on your Ubuntu 11.10 i386 server. This setup provides a solid foundation for running Litecoin on your local machine. If you encounter any problems during compilation or while running the script, please refer to the provided documentation or seek help from the online communities.
