It was almost there. I fixed a few things and got it to finish compiling but I don’t know the system libraries to link to so there’s undefined references galore.
I changed the makefile to look for things under /usr/local and in their default “make install” locations. I wrote what I did and switches I used in build-unix.txt. I’m currently using wxWidgets 2.8.9 for now because it’s the same version as on Windows and I don’t want to wonder if there’s version change issues at the same time as platform change. 2.8.10 or 2.9.0 are probably fine though. I went with the single-library compile of wxWidgets since we’re linking to almost every library anyway.
I added xpm files, which is what they use everywhere else but Windows instead of RC files. They’re clever C files that define graphics in static arrays. The bitcoin icon has 5 different versions but I couldn’t figure out how that works in xpm so I only put the biggest one. Maybe on GTK it scales it for you. I don’t know if these are right or what, but they compile.

I uploaded what I’ve ported so far to the svn/branches. Util, script, db and the headers compile fully now and net.cpp partially, so there’s still work to do.
_beginthread doesn’t have a direct Linux equivalent, so I used Boost threads instead.
