Prerequisites: To compile the C version you will need:<br>

|
lmdb https://github.com/jmjatlanta/lmdb<br>
|
|
c-protobuf https://github.com/Agorise/c-protobuf<br>
|
|
c-multihash https://github.com/Agorise/c-multihash<br>
|
|
c-multiaddr https://github.com/Agorise/c-multiaddr<br>

The compilation at this point is simple, but not very flexible. Place all of these projects in a directory. Compile all (the order above is recommended) by going into each one and running "make all".
