-------------------------
Gitian needs virtual images of the operating system to build in.
Currently this is Ubuntu Precise for both x86 architectures.
Currently this is Ubuntu Precise for x86_64.
These images will be copied and used every time that a build is started to
make sure that the build is deterministic.
Creating the images will take a while, but only has to be done once.

Getting and building the inputs
--------------------------------
In [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository under 'Fetch and build inputs'.
you will find a list of `wget` commands that can be executed to get the dependencies.
Follow the instructions in [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository
under 'Fetch and build inputs' to install sources which require manual intervention. Also follow
the next step: 'Seed the Gitian sources cache', which will fetch all necessary source files allowing
for gitian to work offline.
I needed to add `--no-check-certificate` to the OpenSSL wget line to make it work.
Likely this is because the ca-certificates in Debian 7.4 is fairly old. This does not create a
security issue as the gitian descriptors check the integrity of the input archives and refuse to work
if any one is corrupted.
Building Bitcoin
----------------
After downloading the archives, execute the `gbuild` commands to build the dependencies.
This can take a long time, but only has to be done when the dependencies change, for example
to upgrade the used version.
To build Bitcoin (for Linux, OSX and Windows) just follow the steps under 'perform
gitian builds' in [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository.
**Note**: Do not forget to copy the result from `build/out` to `inputs` after every gbuild command! This will save
you a lot of time.
This may take a long time as it also builds the dependencies needed for each descriptor.
These dependencies will be cached after a successful build to avoid rebuilding them when possible.
At any time you can check the package installation and build progress with
```bash
tail -f var/install.log
tail -f var/build.log
```
