src/obj directory missing

[raipat]

when building a freshly checked out copy, build fails because src/obj/ directory is missing.
It's just a nuisance, but should be fixed

[raipat]

also that usual leveldb permission messup
/PlatinumCore/src/leveldb $ chmod +x build_detect_platform

Why do all those copycatcoins not fix upstream issues?

For now please follow these instructions. Will fix shortly.

Here is the guide to build Platinum Core on Linux / Ubuntu

All these dependencies are required for most of the coins you wish to build.

Build your dependencies: Install dependencies for building Platinum Core

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libtool
sudo apt-get install autotools-dev
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8++-dev
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev

git clone https://www.github.com/williamsmithza/PlatinumCore

cd PlatinumCore/src
mkdir obj
cd obj
mkdir zerocoin
cd ..
cd leveldb
chmod 755 build_detect_platform
sudo make clean
cd ..

sudo make -f makefile.unix USE_UPNP=-

Once build is finish just start up your wallet
./PlatinumCored

Now it will ask you to setup PlatinumCore.conf

rpcuser=yourplatinumcoreusername
rpcpassword=yourplatinumcorepassword
rpcport=31452
server=1
daemon=1
