# 	
#	Released 1-25-2014 - Gridcoin
#
# This guide is broken up into 3 versions.
#   
# 1. Gridcoind - headless daemon 
# 2. Gridcoin-qt 
# 3. Wine version of Gridcoin-qt
#
# 
# Section 1: Compiling Gridcoind
#
# -Tested on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 13.10
#
# Section 2: Compiling frontend
#
# - Tested on Ubuntu 13.10

#### Building Gridcoind ####



#### (Tested with #boost 1_5_5_0, Berkeley db 4.8.30, miniupnpc 1.8, openssl 1.0.1e
#### Step 1: Building the headless daemon:
#If you have trouble updating source from git:
#git config --global http.sslverify false


sudo apt-get install ntp git build-essential libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libboost-all-dev libqrencode-dev
sudo apt-get install qt-sdk qt4-default
#ATTN: !! New packages required as of 2-4-2015 (Lederstrumpfs additions)
sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev
sudo apt-get install libzip-dev (or aptitude install libcurl3-dev on Debian + aptitude install libssl-dev on Debian)



cd ~
git clone https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research
#NOTE: If you already have Gridcoin, do this:
#git fetch --all
#git reset --hard origin/master

cd ~/Gridcoin-Research/src
mkdir obj

chmod 755 leveldb/build_detect_platform 
make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=- 


##### End of Step 1: gridcoinresearchd will be found in /src directory



strip gridcoinresearchd
sudo install -m 755 gridcoinresearchd /usr/bin/gridcoinresearchd

mkdir ~/.GridcoinResearch
cd ~/.GridcoinResearch

#### SSL: ###################################################################
#Optional: Setting up gridcoinresearchd for ssl 
#openssl genrsa -out server.pem 2048 
#openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 3650 -key server.pem > server.cert 
#############################################################################

nano gridcoinresearch.conf 

#copy the following into the editor: (Note the addnode should be in row #1):
addnode=node.gridcoin.us
server=1 
daemon=1 
rpcport=9332 
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=external IP 
#rpcssl=1

#save and exit.  Leave the lines with ssl in them out if you don't need ssl.

####### Testing Gridcoin gridcoinresearchd :
#Let server start
gridcoinresearchd
#Should return current difficulty:
gridcoinresearchd getmininginfo


#Step 2:
############################################### Building Gridcoin-QT: ##########################################

#cd to the directory where gridcoinresearch.pro is
cd ~/Gridcoin-Research

#IMPORTANT: now edit gridcoinresearch.pro and remove the entries "QT += qaxcontainer", "CONFIG += qaxcontainer" and "QT += axserver"
#nano gridcoinresearch.pro
 
rm -f build/*.o
qmake "USE_UPNP=-"
make
strip gridcoinresearch
sudo install -m 755 gridcoinresearch /usr/bin/gridcoinresearch
#look for gridcoinresearch
gridcoinresearch
#Verify wallet finds nodes and starts syncing

su root
cd Gridcoin-Research/src
adduser grcuser && usermod -g users grcuser && delgroup grcuser && chmod 0701 /home/grcuser
mkdir /home/grcuser/bin
cp gridcoinresearchd /home/grcuser/bin/gridcoinresearchd
chown -R grcuser:users /home/grcuser/bin
cd && rm -rf grcuser

Start Gridcoin Research (From User Environment):
su grcuser
cd && bin/gridcoinresearchd
After running the first time you will receive an error instructing you to create a config file called gridcoinresearch.conf
nano ~/.GridcoinResearch/gridcoinresearch.conf && chmod 0600 ~/.GridcoinResearch/gridcoinresearch.conf
Add the following to your config file, changing the username and password to something secure:
daemon=1
server=1
email=
rpcuser=<username>
rpcpassword=<password>
addnode=node.gridcoin.us
addnode=gridcoin.asia

Ctrl-X to exit and save

Run the Daemon

cd /bin
./gridcoinresearchd

Wait til server starts

gridcoinresearchd getinfo
Verify connections are > 1, and Blocks > 1
