Anyways, here is the full tutorial on "How to Make a Cryptocurrency Using Litecoin v0.15 Source" on Hackster.io. I hope this guide proves useful to fellow enthusiasts who are looking to create something of their own on this forum:

I don't know how you guys were actually able to compile the code using those tutorial you gave but I have tried everything possible based on the content of that article and I never saw the wallet compiled, always getting a lot of errors even though I did everything the way it was stated, I think you guys have to relook into those article and come up with something better that is going to work even if we have to pay for it.

I think we sort of assumed a little too much for some people, especially those who have never used a compiler and that sort of thing. Getting all dependencies installed and exactly where to run commands, a few other bits and pieces to polish it off and get it up and running.

Are you interested in Litecoin or Bitcoin? I recommend Bitcoin to begin with, it's a bit easier. It's also much easier to point a cpuminer at it as well and mine away. I have a cloned Bitcoin I hack on on a VPS and cross-compile my Windows binary, and add my VPS node. And I use cpu miner on the VPS to mine.

It's a bit hard to compile and run on Windows compared to Linux. Either Cygwin or MingW with all dependencies (MingW 64-bit is better, use pacman -Ss to search for packages) and you can try WSL and install the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS app from the Windows app store if on Windows 10. That just makes it a lot easier.

I'm working on a few guides for making alt-coins, and a little more on the end about hacking on the code and hard forks of coins where your chain goes off elsewhere after a certain block height but the difficulty readjusts down so you can actually keep mining and see what happens. I'll post back when I have it ready; I'm working with a few others.

That aside, what specifically did you have problems with? Can you give an example? That would be useful to try and give some better help.
