Have you tried simply running make in the root directory? If so, what errors did you receive? – Tony Rizko – 2018-01-27T11:42:20.237

Yes but it gave me 5 source code error such as link 54:14: field 'vxc_bntarg' has incomplete type bigbun – zhiyan114 – 2018-01-27T13:57:21.757

I managed to fix it on older unintuitive but thx – zhiyan114 – 2018-01-27T14:51:32.607

Use vanitygen-plus it is still active on GitHub. – Willtech – 2018-04-01T13:55:18.543

@zhiyan114 Sorry for the late reply. You must either use an older version of Vanitygen. Openssl 1.1 is not supported (use 1.0.something) or apply the patch here: https://github.com/exploitagency/vanitygen-plus/pull/56/files

I would suggest you use Bitaddress.org

its open source and secure without the need to install anything.

or you could do that using bitcoin-php library on PHP.

vanitygen is too old and never updated almost since 7 years.

UPDATE

Sorry for the previous suggestion, I thought bitaddress.org has that function.

vanitygen library that you mentioned is too old, you better use vanitygen-plus, it's up-to-date and supports bitcoin and alt-coins.

These do not perform the same function as vanitygen. – Willtech – 2018-04-01T11:14:17.053

Yeah, are right, as I remember they had that function. I have edited the answer. – Adam – 2018-04-01T11:27:23.543

How to compile:

  1. Download the source from Github.
  2. Run the ./configure file. (if it doesn't exist, type "./autogen.sh" first.)
  3. Type "make".
  4. Your program is ready.
