I'm trying to compile Captcoin, a free software fork of Bitcoin. I installed the dependencies listed in the ReadMe file and got a good way into the compilation, but compilation stops with this error:

cd /home/linus/CaptCoin; /bin/sh share/genbuild.sh /home/linus/CaptCoin/build/build.h

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent /home)

Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

src/main.cpp:18:53: fatal error: boost/random/uniform_int_distribution.hpp: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.

make: *** [build/main.o] Error 1


The fatal error appears to be due to a missing boost library, but I tried installing both boost random number libraries available in the repositories, and they didn't change a thing.
