Can’t this be done just using ‘make’ ?

That seemed to work for other coin clients.

Hi maybe these are typos ?

You have–

[color=maroon]File - open file or project ( /Home/User/Feathercoin/Bitcoin-qt.pr)[/color]

and

[color=maroon]File : open file or project e.g… /Home/User/Feathercoin/Feathercoin.pro[/color]

But I have neither - what I have is, after running the git clone, is–

[color=navy]/Home/user/Feathercoin[/color]

and in that I have

[color=navy]Home/user/Feathercoin/feathercoin-qt.pro[/color]

so I choose the feathercoin-qt.pro instead because it’s the only similar one and try that but the build menu is still greyed out.

Do I have to run the ‘configure’ step next instead ?
I’ve got a tick box for Qt 4.8.4(qt4) - should I tick that and hit configure project ?

An how do I change the output name ?

I’ve got a couple more tick boxes for ‘debug’ and ‘release’ so do I just choose one of those ?

I took a guess and unticked ‘debug’, hit configure and followed the steps in the build menu - the options are a little different from the ones in the guide above so I picked the closest ones I could see

Build -> Clean Project “feathercoin-qt”
Build -> Run qmake
Build -> Build Project “feathercoin-qt”

But next I don’t see the

“Press button 4. Compile output. > To watch the build messages and complete”

I’ve got two sets of buttons down the left of QTcreator, the second set has a “build project feathercoin-qt” button at fourth place so I hit that as another guess, and now I’ve got this folder

Home/user/build-feathercoin-qt-Desktop-Debug

inside that I’ve got

Home/user/build-feathercoin-qt-Desktop-Debug/build

• which is empty - and a makefile

I don’t now what’s going on here, I’m a build and make noob, am I missing something obvious ?

Anyone else have trouble with this ?

I use Mint 15, followed all the instructions in the beginners guide but I don’t get the options for QTcreator here…

[color=navy]Menu -> Build > open file or project /Home/User/Feathercoin/Bitcoin-qt.pro

Change output names and choose debug or release. See below to build release with QR codes.
From the QT Creator - Build Menu run each of these options.

Build -> Clean
Build -> qmake
Build -> Build[/color]

The build menu is greyed out.

Sorry but I’m clueless on this and would appreciate any help.

Darlings, it didn’t work for me. Is it because I use Mint 15 ?

I assumed the instructions would work for Mint too, but I don’t get the options for QTcreator here

[color=maroon]Menu -> Build > open file or project /Home/User/Feathercoin/Bitcoin-qt.pro

Change output names and choose debug or release. See below to build release with QR codes.
From the QT Creator - Build Menu run each of these options.

Build -> Clean
Build -> qmake
Build -> Build[/color]

The build menu is greyed out.

I tried to just run the feathercoin-qt-pro file with QTcreator but to no avail. Worked for litecoin though!

How can I enjoy the glorious world of feathercoin on linux, and stay away from stinky old windows ?
