Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
This guide will show you how to build Bitcoin Core for OS X.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
* Tested on OS X 10.7 through 10.11 on 64-bit Intel processors only.
|
||||
|
||||
* All of the commands should be executed in a Terminal application. The
|
||||
built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities`.
|
||||
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
||||
The built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app`.
|
||||
|
||||
Preparation
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
Download and install [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download).
|
||||
|
||||
You need to install Xcode with all the options checked so that the compiler
|
||||
and everything is available in /usr not just /Developer. Xcode should be
|
||||
available on your OS X installation media, but if not, you can get the
|
||||
current version from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/. If you install
|
||||
Xcode 4.3 or later, you'll need to install its command line tools. This can
|
||||
be done in `Xcode > Preferences > Downloads > Components` and generally must
|
||||
be re-done or updated every time Xcode is updated.
|
||||
Once installed, run `xcode-select --install` to install the OS X command line tools.
|
||||
|
||||
You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) in order to install library
|
||||
dependencies.
|
||||
Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh).
|
||||
|
||||
The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the instructions
|
||||
sections below.
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions: Homebrew
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
|
||||
brew install automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost --c++11 miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf --c++11 qt5 libevent
|
||||
|
||||
brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5 libevent
|
||||
NOTE: Building with Qt4 is still supported, however, could result in a broken UI. Building with Qt5 is recommended.

Build Bitcoin Core
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Building `bitcoin`
|
||||
1. Clone the bitcoin source code and cd into `bitcoin`
|
||||
|
||||
1. Clone the GitHub tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
|
||||
cd bitcoin
|
||||
|
||||
2. Build bitcoin-core:
|
||||
This will configure and build the headless bitcoin binaries as well as the gui (if Qt is found).
|
||||
You can disable the gui build by passing `--without-gui` to configure.

|
||||
|
||||
./autogen.sh
|
||||
./configure
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
3. It is also a good idea to build and run the unit tests:
|
||||
3. It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
|
||||
|
||||
make check
|
||||
|
||||
4. (Optional) You can also install bitcoind to your path:
|
||||
4. You can also create a .dmg that contains the .app bundle (optional):
|
||||
|
||||
make install
|
||||
make deploy
|
||||
|
||||
Use Qt Creator as IDE
|
||||
Running
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Bitcoin Core is now available at `./src/bitcoind`
|
||||
|
||||
Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.
|
||||
|
||||
echo -e "rpcuser=bitcoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
The first time you run bitcoind, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take several hours.
|
||||
|
||||
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
|
||||
|
||||
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/debug.log
|
||||
|
||||
Other commands:
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
./src/bitcoind -daemon # Starts the bitcoin daemon.
|
||||
./src/bitcoin-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
|
||||
./src/bitcoin-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
|
||||
|
||||
Using Qt Creator as IDE
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
You can use Qt Creator as IDE, for debugging and for manipulating forms, etc.
|
||||
Download Qt Creator from https://www.qt.io/download/. Download the "community edition" and only install Qt Creator (uncheck the rest during the installation process).
|
||||
You can use Qt Creator as an IDE, for bitcoin development.
|
||||
Download and install the community edition of [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download/).
|
||||
Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Make sure you installed everything through Homebrew mentioned above
|
||||
2. Do a proper ./configure --enable-debug

|
||||
9. Select LLDB as debugger (you might need to set the path to your installation)
|
||||
10. Start debugging with Qt Creator
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a release build
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
You can ignore this section if you are building `bitcoind` for your own use.
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
bitcoind/bitcoin-cli binaries are not included in the Bitcoin-Qt.app bundle.
|
||||
* Tested on OS X 10.7 through 10.11 on 64-bit Intel processors only.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are building `bitcoind` or `Bitcoin Core` for others, your build machine should be set up
|
||||
as follows for maximum compatibility:
|
||||
|
||||
All dependencies should be compiled with these flags:
|
||||
|
||||
-mmacosx-version-min=10.7
|
||||
-arch x86_64
|
||||
-isysroot $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk
|
||||
|
||||
Once dependencies are compiled, see [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) for how the Bitcoin Core
|
||||
bundle is packaged and signed to create the .dmg disk image that is distributed.
|
||||
|
||||
Running
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
It's now available at `./bitcoind`, provided that you are still in the `src`
|
||||
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
|
||||
|
||||
Run `./bitcoind` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
|
||||
commands:
|
||||
|
||||
echo -e "rpcuser=bitcoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"
|
||||
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"
|
||||
|
||||
The next time you run it, it will start downloading the blockchain, but it won't
|
||||
output anything while it's doing this. This process may take several hours;
|
||||
you can monitor its process by looking at the debug.log file, like this:
|
||||
|
||||
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/debug.log
|
||||
|
||||
Other commands:
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
./bitcoind -daemon # to start the bitcoin daemon.
|
||||
./bitcoin-cli --help # for a list of command-line options.
|
||||
./bitcoin-cli help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
|
||||
|
||||
Using Qt official installer while building
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you prefer to use the latest Qt installed from the official binary
|
||||
installer over the brew version, you have to make several changes to
|
||||
the installed tree and its binaries (all these changes are contained
|
||||
in the brew version already). The changes needed are described in
|
||||
[#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714). We do not
|
||||
support building Bitcoin Core this way though.
|
||||
* Building with downloaded Qt binaries is not officially supported. See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714)
