Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for.
I had to make a slight change to the LIBS because the compiler kept complaining about an issue with clock_gettime:
LIBS='-lssl -lcrypto -lrt'

When I try this command:
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
I got error, command not found

@nomore85: you need git installed.
yum install git

at first step when isntalling RPM packages, shouldn't protobuff-devel be actually protobuf-devel (only one F)??

./src/bitcoind: error while loading shared libraries: libdb_cxx-4.8.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I followed the some solutions listed here bitcoin/bitcoin#2998
still getting the same.
what to do with this error?

Hi, All!

I wrote my Makefile with ready solution for CentOS
There is Bitcoin Core 0.14.1 version with UASF enforce-patch
But you can easy to edit other (to original Bitcoin Core) repositary and install your Bitcoin Core

Best regards, Perlover

you might need a package name yum install gcc-c++ while installing this so kindly install this package also

Hi @janx : Thanks a lot, this really helps!!! 👍 🙏 I cross-posted your gist with Chinese 🇹🇼 translation, and with some relevant latest updates as well. See : https://gist.github.com/golife-sysop/183571cb28d0a8965a1739c36e92c807 🙂

Hi @janx, I've refactored this crazy oneliner and moved the configure and bitcoind executions to a separate line.
I hope now it's obvious what the code does :)
I've also added automake package, which satisfies requirements for autogen.sh, and the -y parametr to yum.

My revision is available here, it would be great if you apply them :)

Also, all the software versions here are CRITICALLY outdated. For example, bitcoin's version here is v0.9.1, and latest stable is v0.14.3 😱
Your gist is (was?) very popular, so please update them ASAP:exclamation:

Thanks!
