-Fedora 22 dependencies there may be more depends what you have already installed: ::
-
-    dnf install git automake autoconf libtool cmake gcc gcc-c++ xkeyboard-config \
-    leveldb-devel boost-devel gmp-devel cryptopp-devel miniupnpc-devel \

-Install gcc version 4.9! Fedora 22 comes with a different compiler (CC v5.3).
-This one wont compile webthree-umbrella 4 me so i installed gcc version 4.9 from SRC!
-
-Check that you have a working gcc4.9 install in /usr/local i installed it in
-/home/app/gcc49 its your choice read manual how to compile gcc in google! After that
-you have to compile everything you need 4 webthree-umbrella with gcc4.9 so before
-every cmake: ::
-
-    export CXX=/home/app/gcc49/bin/g++
-	export CC=/home/app/gcc49/bin/gcc
-	
-With this you use gcc4.9 to compile instead of the one that comes with the
-distro F22.  Its not recommended to uninstall the compiler that comes with your
-distro! You can also work with symlinking.
-
-Install from Fedora COPR REPO LLVM3.7 with: ::
-
-    dnf copr enable alonid/llvm-3.7
-    dnf install llvm-3.7 llvm-3.7-devel llvm-3.7-static llvm-3.7-libs
-
-I had to do this because Fedora 22 comes with llvm-3.5 from stock repos! There
-may be other solutions but this one worked 4 me
-
-Install CryptoPP from SRC https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp CRYPTOPP_5_6_2: ::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp
-    cd cryptopp
-    git checkout release/CRYPTOPP_5_6_2
-    mkdir build
-    cd build
-    export CXX=/home/app/gcc49/bin/g++ <- be sure to compile with gcc4.9
-    export CC=/home/app/gcc49/bin/gcc <- be sure to compile with gcc4.9
-    cmake ..
-    make
-    make install
-
-Install QT5 from COPR "dnf copr enable @kdesig/Qt5" newer QT5 version: ::
-
-    dnf install qt5-*
-	
-this should install QT5 version 5.6.0 in COPR repo are other QT5.  Packages from other users i didnt test them
-
-Install qtwebengine from https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebengine i installed
-version 5.6.0 others may also work find it out :D ::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/qtproject/qtwebengine
-    cd qtwebengine
-    git checkout release/v5.6.0
-    qmake-qt5 <- in other distros its just called qmake in fedora 22 qmake-qt5
-    make
-    make install
-	
-Install json-rpc from github https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/issues/617: ::
-
-    git clone https://github.com/cinemast/libjson-rpc-cpp
-    cd libjson-rpc-cpp
-    git checkout tags/v0.4.2
-    mkdir -p build
-    cd build
-    export CXX=/home/app/gcc49/bin/g++ <- be sure to compile with gcc4.9
-    export CC=/home/app/gcc49/bin/gcc <- be sure to compile with gcc4.9	
-    cmake .. && make
-    sudo make install
-    sudo ldconfig
+            python-devel jsoncpp-devel argtable-devel libmicrohttpd-devel
 
-Be sure to check if jsonrpcstub works in console enter "jsonrpcstub" and look if its responding.
-If it answers No Argument or s-l-t it works but if you get no such file to blabla.so you have to
-symlinking the missing ones to your libs dir /usr/local/lib64 or usr/local/lib depends where the
-file blabla.so is try to find it with "updatedb" and than "locate blabla.so"
 
-Try to compile now it should work if not there a missing symlinks cause of no such file easyfix
-or there are some missing Packages try to find them with dnf like this "dnf search packname*" or
-"dnf list packname*" all i can say its not a 5 min compile of webthree-umbrella enjoy Tflux99.
+Make sure you have cloned the repository recursively. If not please clone the submodules of the respository as well.
+It may happen that after `# make install`, you might not be able to run eth because of linking errors. In that case you have to add the shared objects of eth into your load path for shared objects.
