In the off chance anyone on the deeponion forum reads this, could you point this thread out to one of the devs.

There's no functional linux wallet, so linux users are locked out of the forum (you need a wallet to sign up).

The instructions to build the wallet from a cloned git repository linked in this thread
https://steemit.com/deeponion/@nezero/build-the-deeponion-qt-wallet-on-ubuntu
seems to create a directory deeponion/src/leveldb/ with nothing in it, so the build cannot proceed. It seems there is an incompatability error with the berkely db versions, so the devs just left it out and left it broken.

The instructions here
https://dragonvslinux.wordpress.com/2018/01/30/tutorial-installing-deep-onion-v1-5-1-on-ubuntu-debian/
will clone a directory from git with the required files in src/leveldb but at the configure stage returns an error that the berkely db version is not 4.8 so it falls over unless you re-configure with the option
--with-incompatible-bdb

So after I do all that I can get the wallet up and running but it only runs for a few seconds and then crashes. I haven't got time to go chasing crash dumps today.

I really like the concept of DeepOnion and would much prefer to use it over Monero, so it's worth a bit of hassle to get things running to get on the forum. I can't see many other linux users going through what I have though, I hope they can sort out this database issue & get a functional wallet ready for download on their website.
