I'm on gentoo linux, goldcoin-qt from
http://gldcoin.com/downloads/goldcoin-0.7.1.6-linux.tar.xz asks for outdated depency libraries: for eg, boost-1.49.0 libs while current are 1.52.0
same for libminiupnpc and other depencies as well.
i went for it and tried to install from github but the docs are very poor on that matter.
Taken from the "gentoo" section:
~/gldcoin/src $ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=1 USE_IPV6=1 STATIC=1 BDB_INCLUDE_PATH='/usr/include/db4.8' OPENSSL_INCLUDE_PATH='/usr/include/openssl' BOOST_INCLUDE_PATH='/usr/include/boost'
/bin/sh ../share/genbuild.sh obj/build.h
../share/genbuild.sh: line 33: obj/build.h: No such file or directory
../share/genbuild.sh: line 34: obj/build.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [obj/build.h] Error 1
edit: make sure you $ mkdir obj within src and it should work
also paths in makefile.unix are wrong for qt4 in gentoo, should be /usr/include/qt4/QtCore and /usr/include/qt4 instead of /usr/share/qt4/include/QtCore and /usr/share/qt4/include
