Open the project file uiproject.fbp. It generates uibase.cpp and uibase.h, which define base classes that do the rote work of constructing all the UI elements. The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoin" to strip the debug symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%. wxWidgets --------- cd /usr/local/wxWidgets-2.8.9 mkdir buildgtk cd buildgtk ../configure --with-gtk --enable-debug --disable-shared --enable-monolithic make su make install ldconfig Boost ----- If you download and build Boost yourself cd /usr/local/boost_1_40_0 su ./bootstrap.sh ./bjam install
