Hi Bazyli,

I actually do my main development on Mac OSX, so it surprises me to hear - I 
build Xcode projects with libcoin daily on Mac OSX and linux, on Windows it is 
agreeable more of a fight to build. QT is really not needed, I kept it there 
for BitcoinQT, that was once part of the tree too, will remove it as the qt 
part got split out.

Building clean on Mac requires OpenSSL, BDB and Boost - all can be installed 
using homebrew, also remember to use the latest cmake, and a normal cmake xcode 
call: cmake -GXcode should do the job. Otherwise pls send me the debug output. 

A few quick notes for building stuff there:
 - try with coinexplorer, it is the base code I am using - it splits out the 
wallet from the server, nice if you e.g. want to build a webcoin like server.
 - The wallet parts from bitcoind I don't use personally, so if you have 
problems with these I need to have a closer look.

Also note that as the first version of libcoin was a direct refactorization of 
bitcoin, the current one add a lot of different features and handles things 
quite differently - you can e.g. lookup any unspent output by script (bitcoin 
address) in milliseconds (nice for web wallets).

Finally:

As I mentioned it also compiles on Linux (gcc) - gcc is quite savvy when it 
comes to templates - I agree that the template stuff from Database.h is quite 
involved, but as I mentioned before try with coinexplorer.

- I will try to do a from scratch recompilation to see if I experience similar 
issues...

Also - if you are good at creating frameworks on Mac OSX using cmake, help 
would be appreciated! I think that libcoin by defaults build using shared libs, 
this configurable from ccmake using the dynamic library option.

Thanks,

Michael
