Apparently the first rule of coin club is that you have to have a Linux Wallet

I would defenitely say YES!
We need all this Linux users as our members, would be a great push forward! -

[/quote]Great, it was a request from a guy called Catholic in the Trollbox. Who here among us is able to produce such a thing?

Does Feathercoin need to have more Linux software like a wallet?
[/quote]Yes and especially considering it’s the biggest complaint against FTC in trollbox for the last 2 weeks.

I got the Feathercoin-qt and feathercoind clients successfully compiled on my Linux box a few days ago…
I saw there’s another thread about this too. Keep in mind I’m brand new to any kind of software development and am running Trisquel which is not one of the more well known Linux distros, but if it will help I can provide the binaries and makefiles as a starting point we can use. Trisquel is related to Ubuntu and Debian so I’m guessing the binaries will run on either of those as well.

This massive gap never actually caught my attention which is odd given that I use Linux a lot (mine on Windows though)
This should be pretty easy to correct for the maintainer.
I will download and attempt to compile later under Fedora just for fun but I’ll leave actually releasing a *nix client to the experts. Unless they need anyone to actually be a *nix maintainer in which case I am willing to give it a go but I doubt those technical enough to actually create this coin would need any help from a Linux hobbyist haha.
edit: catnip is way ahead of me! :)

OMG yes. You can’t imagine how much that would help. Someone told me I could compile from source on linux without much issue…not listening to that person anymore…

“Someone told me I could compile from source on linux without much issue…not listening to that person anymore”
It took me several tries. As I recall the build-unix.txt howto file says you need libdb4.8-dev and libdb4.8+±dev, but libdb4.8+±dev is depracated and no longer available and after checking around on forums I found there is a newer 5.1 version to use. It still wouldn’t compile unless I compiled without UPNP. I didn’t bother looking for whatever I needed to compile with UPNP but I’d guess we want UPNP enabled in any official binary release.

I wasn’t aware, that Linux SW for feathercoin is a topic.
I compiled the wallet on Opensuse 12.2_64bit without any big problems.
Mining on my Opensuse with bfgminer, also build from source on my system.Could try to build an Opensuse rpm package, when I’ve some spare time.
Would this help?

[/quote]I’m not that technical but what you said sounds great.
Could someone let me know once this is done and I will tell the guy in the trollbox.
Cheers
