Out of date dependencies prevent building on Arch about elements HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @wirion. I'm also using Arch and I have the same problem. You can work around it by building with C++03 and fixing leveldb's build system (which was replaced upstream).

leveldb.patch

diff --git a/src/leveldb/Makefile b/src/leveldb/Makefile
index 2bd2cad..50e360a 100644
--- a/src/leveldb/Makefile

 LDFLAGS += $(PLATFORM_LDFLAGS)
 LIBS += $(PLATFORM_LIBS)

Then run:

make clean
./autogen.sh
CXXFLAGS='-std=c++03' ./configure --without-miniupnpc
git apply leveldb.patch
make

from elements.

It works, thanks Jonas!

Can you tell us what commands you ran to build? My concern being the Arch example builds without miniupnpc...https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#setup-and-build-example-arch-linux

from elements.

I was using

./autogen.sh && ./configure && make

without modifiers.

I see there was a change in API from 1.9 to 2.0 which did change the upnpDiscover function. Ubuntu seems to use miniupnpc 1.9 for the moment and Arch uses miniupnpc 2.0.

I rebuilt by adding --without-miniupnpc only and got past the upnpDiscover errors but still get errors about ambiguous operators.

chainparams.cpp: In constructor ‘CMainParams::CMainParams(CScript)’:
chainparams.cpp:145:51: error: ambiguous overload for ‘operator=’ (operand types are ‘std::vector<unsigned char>’ and ‘boost::assign_detail::generic_list<int>’)
         base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = list_of(0);

I've got boost 1.61 and I've tried to build boost 1.58 which is what is on Ubuntu's xenial xerus, but got more errors during that compilation.

Just for reference, bitcoin/bitcoin's master builds fine on my system. I see they accounted for the new dependency. Are there plans to rebase elements off a newer bitcoin release?
