Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes

====================================
|
====================================
|
||||||
This guide will show you how to build Dash Core for OS X.
|
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
||||||
|
The built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app`.
|
||||||

* Tested on OS X 10.7 through 10.11 on 64-bit Intel processors only.

Download and install [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/download).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You need to install Xcode with all the options checked so that the compiler
|
Once installed, run `xcode-select --install` to install the OS X command line tools.
|
||||||
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.
|
|
||||||
|
|

You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) in order to install library

#### 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 libevent qt
|
NOTE: Building with Qt4 is still supported, however, doing so could result in a broken UI. Therefore, building with Qt5 is recommended.

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

4. You can also create a .dmg that contains the .app bundle (optional):
|
||||||
|
|

make install
|

Use Qt Creator as IDE
|
Running
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
echo -e "rpcuser=dashrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first time you run dashd, 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/DashCore/debug.log
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Other commands:
|
||||||
|
-------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
./src/dashd -daemon # Starts the dash daemon.
|
||||||
|
./src/dash-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
|
||||||
|
./src/dash-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Using Qt Creator as IDE

Notes
|
||||||
------------------------
|
-----
|
||||||
You can ignore this section if you are building `dashd` for your own use.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
dashd/dash-cli binaries are not included in the Dash-Qt.app bundle.
|
* Tested on OS X 10.7 through 10.11 on 64-bit Intel processors only.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you are building `dashd` or `Dash Core` for others, your build machine should be set up
|
* Building with downloaded Qt binaries is not officially supported. See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714)
|
||||||
as follows for maximum compatibility:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All dependencies should be compiled with these flags:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
-mmacosx-version-min=10.7
|
|
||||||
-arch x86_64
|
|
||||||
-isysroot $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once dependencies are compiled, see [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) for how the Dash Core
|
|
||||||
bundle is packaged and signed to create the .dmg disk image that is distributed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Running
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's now available at `./dashd`, provided that you are still in the `src`
|
|
||||||
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Run `./dashd` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
|
|
||||||
commands:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
echo -e "rpcuser=dashrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.conf"
|
|
||||||
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore/dash.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/DashCore/debug.log
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Other commands:
|
|
||||||
-------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
./dashd -daemon # to start the dash daemon.
|
|
||||||
./dash-cli --help # for a list of command-line options.
|
|
||||||
./dash-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 Dash Core this way though.
