For those interested, work done by me last Nov to upgrade Ixcoin, is now finally posted, mostly build system stuff, that needed allot of attention. What is now up on GitHub, also includes up-to the minute recent activity, as we get these remaining software problems figured out and resolved, changes could come from several differnet directions.
so...atm 6 commits from me
Allot of new work on the table, added the latest v10 core build system, customized and working well with our back ported source at the v9 level. Allot of tests are now passing too. From source, anyone can now build Ixcoin, just ./configure the tests enabled (default), and see the pass/fail results. Week before last, we could not build any without considerable pain.
Combined with what mmpool has given us here, important new clues and fixes will hopefully become apparent.
My goal is to start build #1 of the Ixcoin v0.9.4 test series. It will primarily be updates to repair the problems found so far, so don't hold us hostage to a date, I have no idea if this will go on for days or weeks, but we'll keep producing test builds until the problems are resolved and we can agree it's ready to be released. Once all the primary & QT tests pass, I will produce build #1, for at least several target host types. Can say with certainty, that using the new builder tools to build Ixcoin binaries for the various 32 or 64 bit linux & windows systems, or on a mac, will be pretty straightforward & easier to do. An important asset for our coin to have, plus operational in a number of places, and working well for users too. Onward to Ixcoin v0.9.4-rc1
