The `disable-dependency-tracking ` workaround is still required to run `./configure` (cc #14404). `gmake check -j4` pass. `src/bitcoind` runs and "starts" syncing.

OpenBSD build guide
|
|
======================
|
|
(updated for OpenBSD 6.4)
|
|
|
|
This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD is most commonly used as a server OS, so this guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Run the following as root to install the base dependencies for building:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add git gmake libevent libtool boost
|
|
pkg_add autoconf # (select highest version, e.g. 2.69)
|
|
pkg_add automake # (select highest version, e.g. 1.16)
|
|
pkg_add python # (select highest version, e.g. 3.6)
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
**Important**: From OpenBSD 6.2 onwards a C++11-supporting clang compiler is
|
|
part of the base image, and while building it is necessary to make sure that this
|
|
compiler is used and not ancient g++ 4.2.1. This is done by appending
|
|
`CC=cc CXX=c++` to configuration commands. Mixing different compilers
|
|
within the same executable will result in linker errors.
|
|
|
|
### Building BerkeleyDB
|
|
|
|
BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass
|
|
`--disable-wallet` to `./configure` and skip to the next section.
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library
|
|
from ports, for the same reason as boost above (g++/libstd++ incompatibility).
|
|
If you have to build it yourself, you can use [the installation script included
|
|
in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh) like so:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd` CC=cc CXX=c++
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
from the root of the repository. Then set `BDB_PREFIX` for the next section:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Building Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
**Important**: use `gmake`, not `make`. The non-GNU `make` will exit with a horrible error.
|
|
|
|
Preparation:
|
|
```bash
|
|
|
|
# Replace this with the autoconf version that you installed. Include only
|
|
# the major and minor parts of the version: use "2.69" for "autoconf-2.69p2".
|
|
export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69
|
|
|
|
# Replace this with the automake version that you installed. Include only
|
|
# the major and minor parts of the version: use "1.16" for "automake-1.16.1".
|
|
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.16
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
```
|
|
Make sure `BDB_PREFIX` is set to the appropriate path from the above steps.
|
|
|
|
To configure with wallet:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure --with-gui=no CC=cc CXX=c++ \
|
|
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To configure without wallet:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=cc CXX=c++
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build and run the tests:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
|
|
gmake check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Resource limits
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
If the build runs into out-of-memory errors, the instructions in this section
|
|
might help.
|
|
|
|
The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:
|
|
|
|
data(kbytes) 1572864
|
|
|
|
This is, unfortunately, in some cases not enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project,
|
|
(see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)).
|
|
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with:
|
|
|
|
ulimit -d 3000000
|
|
|
|
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To
|
|
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in
|
|
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot.
