-Bitcoin-Qt: Qt4 GUI for Bitcoin
-===============================
-
-Build instructions
-===================
-
-Debian
--------
-
-First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
-distribution are installed, these are
-
-::
-
-for Debian and Ubuntu  <= 11.10 :
-
-::
-
-    apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
-        libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
-        libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
-
-for Ubuntu >= 12.04 (please read the 'Berkely DB version warning' below):
-
-::
-
-    apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
-        libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
-        libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev
-
-For Qt 5 you need the following, otherwise you get an error with lrelease when running qmake:
-
-::
-
-    apt-get install qt5-qmake libqt5gui5 libqt5core5 libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev-tools
-
-then execute the following:
-
-::
-
-    qmake
-    make
-
-Alternatively, install `Qt Creator`_ and open the `bitcoin-qt.pro` file.
-
-An executable named `bitcoin-qt` will be built.
-
-.. _`Qt Creator`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/
-
-Mac OS X
---------
-
-- Download and install the `Qt Mac OS X SDK`_. It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools.
-
-- Download and install either `MacPorts`_ or `HomeBrew`_.
-
-- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using MacPorts:
-
-::
-
-	sudo port selfupdate
-	sudo port install boost db48 miniupnpc
-
-- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using HomeBrew:
-
-::
-
-	brew update
-	brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4
-
-- If using HomeBrew,  edit `bitcoin-qt.pro` to account for library location differences. There's a diff in `contrib/homebrew/bitcoin-qt-pro.patch` that shows what you need to change, or you can just patch by doing
-
-        patch -p1 < contrib/homebrew/bitcoin.qt.pro.patch
-
-- Open the bitcoin-qt.pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (cmd-B)
-
-.. _`Qt Mac OS X SDK`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/
-.. _`MacPorts`: http://www.macports.org/install.php
-.. _`HomeBrew`: http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/

-
-Build configuration options
-============================
-
-UPnP port forwarding
----------------------
-
-To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
-
-::
-
-    qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
-
-(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
-
-This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping.  It can be downloaded from
-http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/.  UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
-
-Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
-
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=- | no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required;                                 |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=0 | (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime; |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_UPNP=1 | build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime.                 |
-+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-
-Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions
----------------------------------------------------
-
-To see desktop notifications on (k)ubuntu versions starting from 10.04, enable usage of the
-FreeDesktop notification interface through DBUS using the following qmake option:
-
-::
-
-    qmake "USE_DBUS=1"
-
-Generation of QR codes
------------------------
-
-libqrencode may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests.
-It can be downloaded from http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.html.en, or installed via your package manager. Pass the USE_QRCODE
-flag to qmake to control this:
-
-+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_QRCODE=0 | (the default) No QRCode support - libarcode not required                 |
-+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
-| USE_QRCODE=1 | QRCode support enabled                                                   |

-Berkely DB version warning
-==========================
-
-A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Bitcoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**).
-
-The static binary version of Bitcoin is linked against libdb4.8 (see also `this Debian issue`_).
-
-Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X.
-
-If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you
-build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded,
-and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without
-significant hassle!
-
-.. _`this Debian issue`: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621425
-
-Ubuntu 11.10 warning
-====================
-
-Ubuntu 11.10 has a package called 'qt-at-spi' installed by default.  At the time of writing, having that package
-installed causes bitcoin-qt to crash intermittently.  The issue has been reported as `launchpad bug 857790`_, but
-isn't yet fixed.
-
-Until the bug is fixed, you can remove the qt-at-spi package to work around the problem, though this will presumably
-disable screen reader functionality for Qt apps:
-
-::
-
-    sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
-
