223b1ba7d90509a47ea07af46f4b9c3b8efbc9f8 doc: Use CONFIG_SITE instead of --prefix (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: The current examples of `--prefix=...` option usage to point `configure` script to appropriate `depends` directory is not [standard](https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html). This causes some [confusion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16691) and a bit of inconvenience. Consider a CentOS 7 32 bit system. Packages `libdb4-devel`, `libdb4-cxx-devel`, `miniupnpc-devel` and `zeromq-devel` are unavailable from repos. After recommended build with depends: ``` cd depends make cd .. ./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu make ``` a user is unable to `make install` compiled binaries neither locally (to `~/.local`) nor system-wide (to `/usr/local`) as `--prefix` is set already. Meanwhile, the standard approach with using [`config.site`](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/config_002esite.html) files allows both possibilities: ``` cd depends make cd .. ./autogen.sh CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --prefix ~/.local make make install ``` or ``` CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure make sudo make install # install to /usr/local ``` Moreover, this approach is used in [Gitian descriptors](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors) already.

UNIX BUILD NOTES
|
|
====================
|
|
Some notes on how to build Dash Core in Unix.
|
|
|
|
(For BSD specific instructions, see `build-*bsd.md` in this directory.)
|
|
|
|
Note
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Always use absolute paths to configure and compile Dash Core and the dependencies.
|
|
For example, when specifying the path of the dependency:
|
|
|
|
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
|
|
|
|
Here BDB_PREFIX must be an absolute path - it is defined using $(pwd) which ensures
|
|
the usage of the absolute path.
|
|
|
|
To Build
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
make install # optional
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build dash-qt as well, if the dependencies are met.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
These dependencies are required:
|
|
|
|
Library | Purpose | Description
|
|
------------|------------------|----------------------
|
|
libboost | Utility | Library for threading, data structures, etc
|
|
libevent | Networking | OS independent asynchronous networking
|
|
|
|
Optional dependencies:
|
|
|
|
Library | Purpose | Description
|
|
------------|------------------|----------------------
|
|
gmp | Optimized math routines | Arbitrary precision arithmetic library
|
|
miniupnpc | UPnP Support | Firewall-jumping support
|
|
libnatpmp | NAT-PMP Support | Firewall-jumping support
|
|
libdb4.8 | Berkeley DB | Wallet storage (only needed when wallet enabled)
|
|
qt | GUI | GUI toolkit (only needed when GUI enabled)
|
|
libqrencode | QR codes in GUI | Optional for generating QR codes (only needed when GUI enabled)
|
|
libzmq3 | ZMQ notification | Optional, allows generating ZMQ notifications (requires ZMQ version >= 4.0.0)
|
|
sqlite3 | SQLite DB | Wallet storage (only needed when wallet enabled)
|
|
|
|
For the versions used, see [dependencies.md](dependencies.md)
|
|
|
|
Memory Requirements
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1.5 GB of
|
|
memory available when compiling Dash Core. On systems with less, gcc can be
|
|
tuned to conserve memory with additional CXXFLAGS:
|
|
|
|
|
|
./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Linux Distribution Specific Instructions
|
|
|
|
### Ubuntu & Debian
|
|
|
|
#### Dependency Build Instructions
|
|
|
|
Build requirements:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils bison python3
|
|
|
|
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](/depends/README.md) or install the required dependencies:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get libevent-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev
|
|
|
|
Berkeley DB is required for the wallet.
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu and Debian have their own `libdb-dev` and `libdb++-dev` packages, but these will install
|
|
Berkeley DB 5.1 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables, which
|
|
are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
|
|
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you can build Berkeley DB [yourself](#berkeley-db).
|
|
|
|
SQLite is required for the wallet:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev
|
|
|
|
To build Dash Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
|
|
|
|
Optional port mapping libraries (see: `--with-miniupnpc` and `--with-natpmp`):
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install libminiupnpc-dev libnatpmp-dev
|
|
|
|
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
|
|
|
|
GMP dependencies (provides platform-optimized routines):
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev
|
|
|
|
GUI dependencies:
|
|
|
|
If you want to build dash-qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
|
|
are installed. Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
|
|
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
|
|
|
|
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools
|
|
|
|
Additionally, to support Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install qtwayland5
|
|
|
|
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
|
|
|
|
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a dash-qt executable will be
|
|
built by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Fedora
|
|
|
|
#### Dependency Build Instructions
|
|
|
|
Build requirements:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install gcc-c++ libtool make autoconf automake python3
|
|
|
|
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](/depends/README.md) or install the required dependencies:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install libevent-devel boost-devel
|
|
|
|
Berkeley DB is required for the wallet:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install libdb4-devel libdb4-cxx-devel
|
|
|
|
Newer Fedora releases, since Fedora 33, have only `libdb-devel` and `libdb-cxx-devel` packages, but these will install
|
|
Berkeley DB 5.3 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables, which
|
|
are based on Berkeley DB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
|
|
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you can build Berkeley DB [yourself](#berkeley-db).
|
|
|
|
SQLite is required for the wallet:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install sqlite-devel
|
|
|
|
To build Dash Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)
|
|
|
|
Optional port mapping libraries (see: `--with-miniupnpc` and `--with-natpmp`):
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install miniupnpc-devel libnatpmp-devel
|
|
|
|
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install zeromq-devel
|
|
|
|
GMP dependencies (provides platform-optimized routines):
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install gmp-devel
|
|
|
|
GUI dependencies:
|
|
|
|
If you want to build dash-qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
|
|
are installed. Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
|
|
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
|
|
|
|
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtbase-devel
|
|
|
|
Additionally, to support Wayland protocol for modern desktop environments:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install qt5-qtwayland
|
|
|
|
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
|
|
|
|
sudo dnf install qrencode-devel
|
|
|
|
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a dash-qt executable will be
|
|
built by default.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
The release is built with GCC and then "strip dashd" to strip the debug
|
|
symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
|
|
|
|
|
|
miniupnpc
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
[miniupnpc](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org) may be used for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from [here](
|
|
https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). UPnP support is compiled in and
|
|
turned off by default.
|
|
|
|
libnatpmp
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
[libnatpmp](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/libnatpmp.html) may be used for NAT-PMP port mapping. It can be downloaded
|
|
from [here](https://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). NAT-PMP support is compiled in and
|
|
turned off by default.
|
|
|
|
Berkeley DB
|
|
-----------
|
|
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. 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`
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
from the root of the repository.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, you can build Dash Core from self-compiled [depends](/depends/README.md).
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You only need Berkeley DB if the wallet is enabled (see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode)).
|
|
|
|
Boost
|
|
-----
|
|
If you need to build Boost yourself:
|
|
|
|
sudo su
|
|
./bootstrap.sh
|
|
./bjam install
|
|
|
|
|
|
Security
|
|
--------
|
|
To help make your Dash Core installation more secure by making certain attacks impossible to
|
|
exploit even if a vulnerability is found, binaries are hardened by default.
|
|
This can be disabled with:
|
|
|
|
Hardening Flags:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-hardening
|
|
./configure --disable-hardening
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hardening enables the following features:
|
|
* _Position Independent Executable_: Build position independent code to take advantage of Address Space Layout Randomization
|
|
offered by some kernels. Attackers who can cause execution of code at an arbitrary memory
|
|
location are thwarted if they don't know where anything useful is located.
|
|
The stack and heap are randomly located by default, but this allows the code section to be
|
|
randomly located as well.
|
|
|
|
On an AMD64 processor where a library was not compiled with -fPIC, this will cause an error
|
|
such as: "relocation R_X86_64_32 against `......' can not be used when making a shared object;"
|
|
|
|
To test that you have built PIE executable, install scanelf, part of paxutils, and use:
|
|
|
|
scanelf -e ./dashd
|
|
|
|
The output should contain:
|
|
|
|
TYPE
|
|
ET_DYN
|
|
|
|
* _Non-executable Stack_: If the stack is executable then trivial stack-based buffer overflow exploits are possible if
|
|
vulnerable buffers are found. By default, Dash Core should be built with a non-executable stack,
|
|
but if one of the libraries it uses asks for an executable stack or someone makes a mistake
|
|
and uses a compiler extension which requires an executable stack, it will silently build an
|
|
executable without the non-executable stack protection.
|
|
|
|
To verify that the stack is non-executable after compiling use:
|
|
`scanelf -e ./dashd`
|
|
|
|
The output should contain:
|
|
STK/REL/PTL
|
|
RW- R-- RW-
|
|
|
|
The STK RW- means that the stack is readable and writeable but not executable.
|
|
|
|
Disable-wallet mode
|
|
--------------------
|
|
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Dash Core may be compiled in
|
|
disable-wallet mode with:
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet
|
|
|
|
In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8 and SQLite.
|
|
|
|
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
|
|
|
|
Additional Configure Flags
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
A list of additional configure flags can be displayed with:
|
|
|
|
./configure --help
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setup and Build Example: Arch Linux
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
This example lists the steps necessary to setup and build a command line only, non-wallet distribution of the latest changes on Arch Linux:
|
|
|
|
pacman -S git base-devel boost libevent python
|
|
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash.git
|
|
cd dash/
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet --without-gui --without-miniupnpc
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Note:
|
|
Enabling wallet support requires either compiling against a Berkeley DB newer than 4.8 (package `db`) using `--with-incompatible-bdb`,
|
|
or building and depending on a local version of Berkeley DB 4.8. The readily available Arch Linux packages are currently built using
|
|
`--with-incompatible-bdb` according to the [PKGBUILD](https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/bitcoin/trunk/PKGBUILD).
|
|
As mentioned above, when maintaining portability of the wallet between the standard Dash Core distributions and independently built
|
|
node software is desired, Berkeley DB 4.8 must be used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ARM Cross-compilation
|
|
-------------------
|
|
These steps can be performed on, for example, an Ubuntu VM. The depends system
|
|
will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for
|
|
installing the toolchain will be different.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you install the build requirements mentioned above.
|
|
Then, install the toolchain and curl:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf curl
|
|
|
|
To build executables for ARM:
|
|
|
|
cd depends
|
|
make HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf NO_QT=1
|
|
cd ..
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf/share/config.site ./configure --enable-reduce-exports LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
For further documentation on the depends system see [README.md](../depends/README.md) in the depends directory.
