Hello. I wanted to compile a Litecoin wallet on my computer. I couldn't find a Linux tutorial, so I'm using windows 8.1 (x64) on a virtual machine instead. To clarify, I want to compile litecoind into a windows wallet. I tried following this tutorial https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0 and I came across tons of errors that I have no idea how to fix. If anyone would mind assisting me in setting up a working compiler? (I have limited knowledge with coding/programming). I'm also fine with using TeamViewer for assistance.

Linux is by far the easiest to compile both the daemon and the QT.

Daemon should be as simple as

Code:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-all-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libdb5.1-dev libdb5.1++-dev mysql-server git
git clone https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin
cd litecoin/src
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

Might be able to help with the windows build if you paste the error.
