Altcoin does not create .altcoin folder and debug.log

1

I changed the source code of bitcoin and I ran it. However, it gives the following error:

chainparams.cpp:140: CMainParams::CMainParams(): Assertion `hashGenesisBlock == uint256("0xxx")' failed.

Aborted (core dumped)

It also does not create .altcoin folder in home folder, so I cannot see debug.log. Why is this so?

The latest bitcoin source doesn't output any debug log in chainparams.cpp.
You can,

  1. Use GenesisH0 to find your Genesis block hash.
  2. make && sudo make install
  3. Run it again, then you will see debug.log within your bitcoin folder
