Can't build on Debian Wheezy following your tips from wiki

mazikwyry

Hello, I was trying to run your client on Debian Wheezy and was following your wiki:
https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/Compatibility-Info-and-Build-Tips#wheezy
and
https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/wiki/Building-on-Ubuntu#cryptopp-562-from-source

Everything was going well.
I get to the point where I have to build your client and I met a problem:

```

It;s saying that I don't have good version of Boost. But I installed it as your guide says:
Download boost_1_55_tar.bz2 from boost.org. Build according to the instructions and install with b2 install --prefix=

So where is the problem ? Can someone help me ?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong with this part:

Create a directory for the libraries which will be built, as you probably don't want them as system libraries. This will be used as a prefix for the builds. Add /lib and /usr/lib to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Add /include and /usr/include to your C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH.

How should it be done ?

mazikwyry

I found the problem and solution:

before installing boost you must install to packages:

python-all-dev and libbz2-dev

Thanks, I have added it to the wiki! Edit: oh you did as well

Ok I then tried to install GUI and meet following problem:

I have Qt 5.3 installed. Maybe the problem in in no qt5 dev package but I can't find proper for debian wheezy. Any ideas?

robmyers

Qt development is a pain to install on Debian. aptitude search qt | grep 5 and look for any packages that even remotely resemble the one cmake is complaining about, then install it. Repeat until cmake stops complaining. :-)

Unfortunately this is all we've got in Debian 7 - no packages for Qt 5:
