Thanks for your interest.
My build environment is Linux Mint 17.3 (derived from Ubuntu 14.04) with following packages installed:
build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev bsdmainutils libboost-all-dev libminiupnpc-dev libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler libqrencode-dev

libboost development is in 1.54 version.

Bitcoin, litecoin, digitalcoin and many other wallets compile without any issues. It's why I guess the issue is very specific to Feathercoin.

One of the build guides is generally for linux and this one advices to install libboost 1.58. I haven't tried this yet.
Could you let me know which one build guide have you used or what steps you have followed so I could try to reproduce them?

No Problem. I'll fire up a copy of that and give it a go.

To be honest I mostly followed the guide that's on the Feathercoin forums for Ubuntu 16.04 - but i did it all on 14.04   

I do remember something about boost 1.58...I'm trying to find the Github commit now. 

I also usually build zxing, if you scroll here

you can see I left the correct instructions to build and install zxing.....Who doesn't want QR codes ?! :-D  it's great for doing payments..:-)
