FreeBSD build guide
======================
(updated for FreeBSD 12.0)
This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on FreeBSD.
This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
## Preparation
You will need the following dependencies, which can be installed as root via pkg:
```shell
pkg install autoconf automake boost-libs git gmake libevent libtool pkgconf
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```
In order to run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
```shell
pkg install python3
```
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
### Building BerkeleyDB
BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass
`--disable-wallet` to `./configure` and skip to the next section.
```shell
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
```
## Building Bitcoin Core
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error):
With wallet:
```shell
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no \
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
```
Without wallet:
```shell
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet
```
followed by:
```shell
gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
```
