Pre-alpha stuff! I'm using this client myself on the production network, and I haven't noticed any glitches, but remember: always backup your wallet! Testing on the testnet is recommended.

This has been implemented:

• qmake / QtCreator project (.pro)
• All dialogs (main GUI, address book, send coins) and menus
• Taskbar icon/menu
• GUI only functionality (copy to clipboard, select address, address/transaction filter proxys)
• Bitcoin core is made compatible with Qt4
• Send coins dialog: address and input validation
• Address book and transactions views and models
• Options dialog
• Sending coins (including ask for fee when needed)
• Show error messages from core
• Show details dialog for transactions (on double click)

This has to be done:

• Integrate with main bitcoin tree
• Start at system start
• Internationalization (convert WX language files)
• Build on Windows

First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your distribution are installed, for Debian and Ubuntu these are:

apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev

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.
