bec7f2caf76901a33dcdd2c3bf976f3954131666 doc: install qt5 when building on macOS (fanquake) Pull request description: Brew has updated such that qt now refers to [Qt 6.0.1](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/qt.rb). If builders install this, configure will not pick up qt. For now, install [qt@5 (5.15.2)](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/qt@5.rb), until required build system and likely source changes are made. ACKs for top commit: hebasto: ACK bec7f2caf76901a33dcdd2c3bf976f3954131666, tested on Tested on macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 (20D80).

# macOS Build Instructions and Notes
|
|
|
|
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
|
The built-in one is located in
|
|
```
|
|
/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
Install the macOS command line tools:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
xcode-select --install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
|
|
|
|
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install automake libtool boost gmp miniupnpc pkg-config python qt@5 libevent libnatpmp qrencode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you run into issues, check [Homebrew's troubleshooting page](https://docs.brew.sh/Troubleshooting).
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
The wallet support requires one or both of the dependencies ([*SQLite*](#sqlite) and [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db)) in the sections below.
|
|
To build Dash Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](#disable-wallet-mode).
|
|
|
|
#### SQLite
|
|
|
|
Usually, macOS installation already has a suitable SQLite installation.
|
|
Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install sqlite
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In that case the Homebrew package will prevail.
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need:
|
|
[`macdeployqtplus`](../contrib/macdeploy/README.md) dependencies:
|
|
```shell
|
|
pip3 install ds_store mac_alias
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### 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 .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
from the root of the repository.
|
|
|
|
Also, the Homebrew package could be installed:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
brew install berkeley-db4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Build Dash Core
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the Dash Core source code:
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/dashpay/dash
|
|
cd dash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build Dash Core:
|
|
|
|
Configure and build the headless Dash Core binaries as well as the GUI (if Qt is found).
|
|
|
|
You can disable the GUI build by passing `--without-gui` to configure.
|
|
```shell
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
|
|
```shell
|
|
make check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. You can also create a `.dmg` that contains the `.app` bundle (optional):
|
|
```shell
|
|
make deploy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
```shell
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case there is no dependency on [*Berkeley DB*](#berkeley-db) and [*SQLite*](#sqlite).
|
|
|
|
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode using the `getblocktemplate` RPC call.
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
Dash Core is now available at `./src/dashd`
|
|
|
|
Before running, you may create an empty configuration file:
|
|
```shell
|
|
mkdir -p "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/DashCore"
|
|
|
|
touch "/Users/${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 many hours, or even days on slower than average systems.
|
|
|
|
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
|
|
```shell
|
|
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/DashCore/debug.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Other commands:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./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.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
* Tested on OS X 10.12 Sierra through macOS 10.15 Catalina on 64-bit Intel
|
|
processors only.
|
|
* Building with downloaded Qt binaries is not officially supported. See the notes in [#7714](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/7714).
