Jut couple of questions before I try to proceed with http://forum.feathercoin.com/topic/8556/guide-build-feathercoind-feathercoin-qt-v0-9-3-1-on-ubuntu-16-04-lts
There is a lot of "sudo make install" commands in this guide, while I would really prefer to build a local version and avoid installing alien packages that can mess up the whole system.
Do I really need to install ancient 4.8 bdb or can I use 5.1-dev that I have already installed and used with FTC so my current blockchain is compatible with that?
Do I need to compile and install static build of openssl-1.0.1l or can I use system openssl-1.0.1f provided in the repositories?

yeah the "sudo make install" was just as an example if you're doing a test build environment in a VM...you definitely don't need to use sudo.

however when you have to edit a file you may have to use sudo if it's write protected...(zxing)

I used bdb 4.8 because that's what the v0.8 binaries used. If you built it yourself previously with bdb 5.1-dev and your wallet.dat file is already in that format, then go ahead and use that version of bdb.

You should be able to use the system openssl, you'll have to change your feathercoin ./configure I suppose..

Personally when I build I like specifying stuff manually so I have complete control, also doing a static builds of deps means you don't mess around with your current environment.

I hope this helps :-)
