Compile vanitygen source

Question

How do I compile this source or get vanitygen for linux?

Have you tried simply running make in the root directory? If so, what errors did you receive? — Tony Rizko, Commented Jan 27, 2018 at 11:42
Yes but it gave me 5 source code error such as link 54:14: field 'vxc_bntarg' has incomplete type bigbun — zhiyan114, Commented Jan 27, 2018 at 13:57
@zhiyan114 Sorry for the late reply. You must either use an older version of Vanitygen. Openssl 1.1 is not supported (use 1.0.something) or apply the patch here: github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/pull/56/files — MCCCS, Commented May 1, 2018 at 14:46

I would suggest you use Bitaddress.org

its open source and secure without the need to install anything.

or you could do that using bitcoin-php library on PHP.

vanitygen is too old and never updated almost since 7 years.

UPDATE

Sorry for the previous suggestion, I thought bitaddress.org has that function.

vanitygen library that you mentioned is too old, you better use vanitygen-plus, it's up-to-date and supports bitcoin and alt-coins.

These do not perform the same function as vanitygen.

Yeah, are right, as I remember they had that function. I have edited the answer.
