Wow so many replys and seems like most of you think that compileing is best under linux.
I was following a guide here on bitcointalk and used the good description in the wallet and created the QT under windows 10. It still took about 1,5-2h for setting up all the dependencies etc.
Under linux you could easly completely perform a fresh install, includeing the gui wallet for linux ^^

If you use the gitian method, you do have to realise the gitian descriptors for windows, linux and mac are different... So to build a wallet for both linux, windows and mac, you'll have to start the build process 3 times... However, all initial setup can be re-used for compiling those wallets (in other words, the setup has to be done once, but the build process on this setup has to be repeated for each OS)

Is this tutorial still up-to-date?

Or is there a newer version somewhere?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i should install Gitian on a VM, on Ubuntu?
