MazaCoin was an interesting coin, as it inspires to be a national currency.  Good luck to them.

Compiling MazaCoin was the most straightforward as I already had the necessary libraries from the previous attempts, so here are the commands that I ran to make get this running.

cd ~/source
git clone https://github.com/MazaCoin/MazaCoin.git
cd ~/source/MazaCoin
qmake
make

UniversalCurrency (UNIT) was a fairly new Crypto Currency at the time I started playing with it.  It’s genesis block was created in May 2015.

I downloaded the source from github:
https://github.com/unitcurrency/unitcurrency/

If you already compiled the Bitcoin Core in my previous post, you should already have most of the dependencies that this software needs.  I did have some trouble compiling this, even after reading all the instructions provided with this version.

cd ~/source
git clone https://github.com/unitcurrency/unitcurrency/

Follow the instructions in the ./source/unitcurrency/doc/readme-qt.rst

Running “qmake”, then “make” will give you some errors however, until you change permissions to a particular folder and make a few changes to the “UniversalCurrency-qt.pro” file.

The first error you get will be a permissions denied, which can be fixed by:

chmod 755 ./src/leveldb/build_detect_platform

I found this info here from another blogger who successfully compiled memecoin-qt in ubuntu, and it fixed my problem with UniversalCurrency:

Basically, the developers of UniversalCurrency linked a specific version of Boost and we are changing this now:

Look for:

LIBS += -lboost_system-mgw49-mt-s-1_57 -lboost_filesystem-mgw49-mt-s-1_57 -lboost_program_options-mgw49-mt-s-1_57 -lboost_thread-mgw49-mt-s-1_57
BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mgw49-mt-s-1_57

Change to:

LIBS += -lboost_system -lboost_filesystem -lboost_program_options -lboost_thread
BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=

Look for:

isEmpty(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX) {
macx:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mt
windows:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mgw49-mt-s-1_57
}

Comment out, so it will look like this:

#isEmpty(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX) {
# macx:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mt
# windows:BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX = -mgw49-mt-s-1_57
#}

After these changes, you can then run

qmake
make

The build will take a while, but then you can copy the UniversalCurrency-qt file to your bin folder and it should be good to go.

The obvious choice of which Crypto Currency to attempt to compile from source is the bitcoin core.  It has the most support and I found many resources.  The best of these came from this blog:

I just followed the step by step instructions and soon had a compiled bitcoin-qt which I then configured.
