I am trying to compile litecoind on Ubuntu 15.04 and I stuck here:

/litecoin/src$ make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-
make: makefile.unix: No such file or directory 
make: *** No rule to make target 'makefile.unix'.  Stop.

I found some a little bit different ways to compile litecoind, but every time I have problems with "makefile.unix". Can someone help me?

The build system has changed to autotools in later versions of Litecoin.

The process now looks like this: 

./autogen.sh 
./configure
make -j4 
make install # optional

There's up to date instructions in detail in build-unix.md.

  • What difference does it make if I don't do make install ? Why is it optional? – rineez Dec 17 '17 at 16:42
  • You might not want the binaries to be anywhere but the build directory. – Anonymous Dec 18 '17 at 3:23
  • is that a reply for my comment above? – rineez Jan 9 '18 at 7:48

    Yes. You don’t need to make install because that moves the binaries, which you might not want. – Anonymous Jan 10 '18 at 1:46

You have to be on your unix src dir where the file located and then open the src dir with the terminal and then

./autogen.sh 
./configure
make -j4 
make install # optional
