Arch Linux

well, I got an error while compiling:

/usr/include/boost/variant/get.hpp: In instantiation of 'typename boost::add_reference<T>::type boost::strict_get(boost::variant<T0, TN ...>&) [with U = const CScriptID&; T0 = CNoDestination; TN = {CKeyID, CScriptID}; typename boost::add_reference<T>::type = const CScriptID&]':

I don't know if this is something that upstream can fix.

Updated to version 0.9.0.1
Removed the tag section of the git command for simplicity.

You can remove #tag=v0n.n.n from the source line in the PKGBUILD altogether if you're having errors during build.

Vertcoin has upgraded to version 0.9.0.1, please update the PKGBUILD replacing the relevant version number (currently 0.8.7.3) in the source line, from

source=("$_gitname::git+https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin#tag=v0.8.7.3"

to

source=("$_gitname::git+https://github.com/vertcoin/vertcoin#tag=v0.9.0.1"

You're right regarding secp256k1. Updated the PKGBUILD.

Addendum to the previous comment; vertcoin-qt will only built AND launch if the AUR package of secp256k1-git is used.

Current git files will not build without secp256k1 installed, so it should be added to the dependencies.
One can install from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/secp256k1-git/
Or from git:
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/secp256k1.git
cd secp256k1
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

@earlz:
It seems to me that the error you describe is not PKGBUILD related but a bug in the application code, therefor i suggest you file a bug report upstream (if you still get the error of course).

I get a compiler error:

src/scrypt.cpp:147:34: error: ‘be32enc’ was not declared in this scope
be32enc(ivec, (uint32_t)(i + 1));

Added desktop file.

Please consider installing the /src/vertcoin/share/pixmaps/vertcoin128.png with your PKGBUILD script into the /usr/share/pixmaps folder, and then make a .desktop file to install the entry into the menu of whatever DE the user is using. An example .desktop file would contain:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Vertcoin
Comment=Vertcoin P2P Cryptocurrency
Exec=/usr/bin/vertcoin-qt
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/vertcoin128.png
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/vertcoin;
Categories=Office;

Added pkgver() function to the PKGBUILD.

Updated PKGBUILD with kbs1 patch.
Thanks.

Thanks! Works fine now!

The fix is to patch PKGBUILD using the new methods:

build() {
cd "${_gitname}"
cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"

# and make qt gui
qmake-qt4 USE_QRCODE=1 USE_UPNP=1
make

# make vertcoin daemon
cd "$srcdir/$_gitname/src"
make $MAKEFLAGS -f makefile.unix
}


package() {
# install vertcoin-qt client
install -D -m755 "$srcdir/$_gitname/vertcoin-qt" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/vertcoin-qt"

# install vertcoin daemon
install -D -m755 "$srcdir/$_gitname/src/vertcoind" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/vertcoind"

# install license
install -D -m644 "$srcdir/$_gitname/COPYING" "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
}

There are only slight changes, the directory names for the daemon were wrong (missing src/ suffix)

This way it compiles and installs fine.

Does not compile.

make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'makefile.unix'. Stop.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

The build failed.

Same here...

make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target 'makefile.unix'. Stop.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

I got wired trying to build it up myself, but since Im a neu-b
its quite a big deal.

make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory
