Trying to compile GUI version on linux:

http://boolberry.com/howto.html

Here is an example of a build for Ubuntu 13 or 14. The first steps are to add the PPA that contains Boost 1.55. The rest is self explanitory:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:boost-latest/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install gcc-4.8 g++-4.8 libboost1.55-all-dev git cmake
git clone https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry.git
cd boolberry; make -j

every time my computer freezes up on the cd boolberry; make -j step.

The dependencies installed fine
Please help

Should I be working with this file instead?
bbr-linux-x64-v0.3.0.41(abcdeab).tar.bz2

I could not find a read me file

Do you have low RAM? make -j gives unlimited parallelism which might be too much. Try make without the -j or put a number after the -j for who many simultaneous compiles your computer can handle (start with 2 or 4 for example)

4GB RAM. New PC with a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install

Thanks for your help. I am trying the below now (install is in process now but going slow):
cd boolberry; make -j2

what if anything do I need to do with this file?
bbr-linux-x64-v0.3.0.41(abcdeab).tar.bz2

If I am cloning from git from the above instructions I don't see why I need it. Excuse my ignorance please. I am new to Linux

Okay it seems like everything is in installed but I dont see a GUI! in the boolberry-build-release-src folder I only see boold, connectivity_tool, simple miner and simple wallet

are these instructions for the CLI wallet only? Where is the GUI.

This appears to include a GUI per BBR page:
bbr-linux-x64-v0.3.0.41(abcdeab).tar.bz2

but I see no instructions to install it

It's not something I've done but looking at the CMakeLists.txt file I'd guess that going into the Makefile and changing

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

to

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D BUILD_GUI=TRUE

Then make as usual

or if not that, then something close to it.

You will likely get some messages about missing dependencies (Qt libraries and headers). Install those then try again.

I really appreciate your advice but don't really feel comfortable with this type of experimentation.

Is there anyone here who has already installed the GUI on Ubuntu? Could you provide me instructions step by step?

A lot of times Linux doesn't really lend itself to step-by-step. smooth gave you good advice. Dependencies are where you might run into trouble. Just bring any error messages you get here (or to a Ubuntu board) and someone will help you figure out which dependencies you need to install. You're close.

If you read all of my comments you will see that currently there is no error message and I appear to have all dependencies. The problem is that I followed all the instructions and there is no GUI

My question remains. Is there anyone here who has installed the GUI on Ubuntu or another version of Linux?
