Get sauce from github, read instructions in doc/build-unix.txt. But make can not into compile!

Merge pull request #2554 from fanquake/qt-pro-brew-patch
bitcoin-qt.pro Brew patch
I finally was able to build bitcoin-1.8 (not the git sources, although I believe these same steps will be applicable) on my CentOS VPS.
Here are the packages I had to install. Note that I had to build some of these.
As root:
yum install gcc-c++ make
install boost-devel
yum install db4-devel
yum install openssl-devel # but this didn't provide ec.h, hence the next steps
yum install rpm-build
rpm -U ~jcomeau/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/openssl-devel-1.0.0e-1.x86_64.rpm
yum install lynx # for downloading some source packages
yum install python-devel # for building miniupnpc
rpm -i ~jcomeau/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/libminiupnpc9-1.8.20130503-0.1.x86_64.rpm
rpm -i ~jcomeau/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/libminiupnpc-devel-1.8.20130503-0.1.x86_64.rpm
Then as user, make BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX=-mt all test
If you need instructions on building the openssl-devel (the spec file was in the sources and mostly functional) and libminiupnpc-devel (I got the spec file from an OpenSUSE source RPM and adapted it) let me know.
I believe your immediate problem is you didn't install openssl-devel. But you will likely run into these other problems after that, if you don't do some of the steps I did.
