Bullshit. I'm writing this on Arch linux.
So PLEASE tell me how you did it! I don't know how to compile the source. Many thanks as it will probably help me compiling other wallets too.
Basically it's down to getting all the dependency libs installed, all the guides out there reference Debian derivatives for this but all the libs having nothing to do with Debian specifically have ports available in your local package manager in any distro
So
http://dogelitehouse.com/how-to-install-your-first-dogecoin-wallet-manually/ says to get
libssl-dev libdb-dev libdb++-dev libqrencode-dev qt4-qmake libqtgui4 libqt4-dev
libminiupnpc-dev libminiupnpc8 libboost-all-dev build-essential git libboost1.53-all-dev
Once you have these for your distro (I use pacman for official Arch repo, yaourt to interact with AUR), it's a simple
git clone

qmake-qt4
make
You can disable UPNP and IPV6 if you don't need that giving params for qmake-qt4.
Even if your disto doesn't have some dependency you can usually compile it from source and make symlinks to places where other dependencies search for header and .so files, but that's a bit ugly and more work.
I can assure you all wallets will work on any x86 linux distro with non-exotic libc implementation.
