Controlling dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Some dependencies are not needed in all configurations. The following are some factors that affect the dependency list.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Options passed to `./configure`
|
|
|
|
|
* MiniUPnPc is not needed with `--with-miniupnpc=no`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Berkeley DB is not needed with `--disable-wallet`.
|
|
|
|
|
* Qt is not needed with `--without-gui`.
|
|
|
|
|
* If the qrencode dependency is absent, QR support won't be added. To force an error when that happens, pass `--with-qrencode`.
|
|
|
|
|
* ZeroMQ is needed only with the `--with-zmq` option.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Other
|

|
|
|
* librsvg is only needed if you need to run `make deploy` on (cross-compilation to) macOS.
