What is Darkcoin?
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Darkcoin is an experimental new digital currency that enables anonymous, instant
|
|
payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Darkcoin uses peer-to-peer technology
|
|
to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money
|
|
are carried out collectively by the network. Darkcoin Core is the name of open
|
|
source software which enables the use of this currency.
|
|
|
|
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of
|
|
the Darkcoin Core software, see http://www.darkcoin.io/downloads.

Building process
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
**compiling Darkcoin from git**
|
|
|
|
Use the autogen script to prepare the build environment.
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
**precompiled binaries**
|
|
|
|
Precompiled binaries are available at github, see
|
|
https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin-binaries
|
|
|
|
Always verify the signatures and checksums.
|
|
|

|
Development tips and tricks
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
**compiling for debugging**
|
|
|
|
Run configure with the --enable-debug option, then make. Or run configure with
|
|
CXXFLAGS="-g -ggdb -O0" or whatever debug flags you need.
|
|
|
|
**debug.log**
|
|
|
|
If the code is behaving strangely, take a look in the debug.log file in the data directory;
|
|
error and debugging message are written there.
|
|
|
|
The -debug=... command-line option controls debugging; running with just -debug will turn
|
|
on all categories (and give you a very large debug.log file).
|
|
|
|
The Qt code routes qDebug() output to debug.log under category "qt": run with -debug=qt
|
|
to see it.
|
|
|
|
**testnet and regtest modes**
|
|
|
|
Run with the -testnet option to run with "play darkcoins" on the test network, if you
|
|
are testing multi-machine code that needs to operate across the internet.
|
|
|
|
If you are testing something that can run on one machine, run with the -regtest option.
|
|
In regression test mode blocks can be created on-demand; see qa/rpc-tests/ for tests
|
|
that run in -regtest mode.
|
|
|
|
**DEBUG_LOCKORDER**
|
|
|
|
Darkcoin Core is a multithreaded application, and deadlocks or other multithreading bugs
|
|
can be very difficult to track down. Compiling with -DDEBUG_LOCKORDER (configure
|
|
CXXFLAGS="-DDEBUG_LOCKORDER -g") inserts run-time checks to keep track of what locks
|
|
are held, and adds warning to the debug.log file if inconsistencies are detected.
