Trying to compile GUI version on linux:
http://boolberry.com/howto.htmlHere 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?
