Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes
|
|
====================================
|
|
This guide will show you how to build bitcoind(headless client) for OSX.
|
|
|
|
Notes
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
* Tested on OS X 10.6 through 10.9 on 64-bit Intel processors only.
|
|
Older OSX releases or 32-bit processors are no longer supported.
|
|
|
|
* All of the commands should be executed in a Terminal application. The
|
|
built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities`.
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
There's also an assumption that you already have `git` installed. If
|
|
not, it's the path of least resistance to install [Github for Mac](https://mac.github.com/)
|
|
(OS X 10.7+) or
|
|
[Git for OS X](https://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/). It is also
|
|
available via Homebrew or MacPorts.
|
|
|
|
You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)
|
|
or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) in order to install library
|
|
dependencies. It's largely a religious decision which to choose, however, Homebrew
|
|
is now used for building release versions.
|
|
|
|
The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the Instructions
|
|
sections below.
|
|
|
|
Instructions: MacPorts
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
### Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
sudo port install boost db48@+no_java openssl miniupnpc autoconf pkgconfig automake libtool
|
|
|
|
Optional: install Qt4
|
|
|
|
sudo port install qt4-mac qrencode protobuf-cpp
|
|
|
|
### Building `bitcoind`
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
|
|
|
|
git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin
|
|
cd bitcoin
|
|
|
|
2. Build bitcoind (and Bitcoin-Qt, if configured):
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
3. It is a good idea to build and run the unit tests, too:
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Instructions: Homebrew
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
|
|
|
|
brew install autoconf automake libtool berkeley-db4 boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt
|
|
|
|
Note: After you have installed the dependencies, you should check that the Homebrew installed version of OpenSSL is the one available for compilation. You can check this by typing
|
|
|
|
openssl version
|
|
|
|
into Terminal. You should see OpenSSL 1.0.1h 5 Jun 2014.
|
|
|
|
If not, you can ensure that the Homebrew OpenSSL is correctly linked by running
|
|
|
|
brew link openssl --force
|
|
|
|
Rerunning "openssl version" should now return the correct version. If it
|
|
doesn't, make sure `/usr/local/bin` comes before `/usr/bin` in your
|
|
PATH.
|
|
|
|
### Building `bitcoind`
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
cd bitcoin
|
|
|
|
2. Build bitcoind:
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
./configure
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
3. It is also a good idea to build and run the unit tests:
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Creating a release build
|
|
------------------------
|
|
You can ignore this section if you are building `bitcoind` for your own use.
|
|
|
|
bitcoind/bitcoin-cli binaries are not included in the Bitcoin-Qt.app bundle.
|
|
|
|
If you are building `bitcoind` or `Bitcoin-Qt` for others, your build machine should be set up
|
|
as follows for maximum compatibility:
|
|
|
|
All dependencies should be compiled with these flags:
|
|
|
|
-mmacosx-version-min=10.6
|
|
-arch x86_64
|
|
-isysroot $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
|
|
|
|
For MacPorts, that means editing your macports.conf and setting
|
|
`macosx_deployment_target` and `build_arch`:
|
|
|
|
macosx_deployment_target=10.6
|
|
build_arch=x86_64
|
|
|
|
... and then uninstalling and re-installing, or simply rebuilding, all ports.
|
|
|
|
As of December 2012, the `boost` port does not obey `macosx_deployment_target`.
|
|
Download `https://gavinandresen-bitcoin.s3.amazonaws.com/boost_macports_fix.zip`
|
|
for a fix.
|
|
|
|
Once dependencies are compiled, see release-process.md for how the Bitcoin-Qt.app
|
|
bundle is packaged and signed to create the .dmg disk image that is distributed.
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
It's now available at `./bitcoind`, provided that you are still in the `src`
|
|
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
|
|
|
|
Run `./bitcoind` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
echo -e "rpcuser=bitcoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf"
|
|
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.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/Bitcoin/debug.log
|
|
|
|
Other commands:
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
./bitcoind -daemon # to start the bitcoin daemon.
|
|
./bitcoin-cli --help # for a list of command-line options.
|
|
./bitcoin-cli help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
|
