Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes
|
||
====================================
|
||
This guide will show you how to build darkcoind(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 an assumption that you already have `git` installed, as well. 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.
|
||
|
||
You will also need to install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh)
|
||
in order to install library dependencies.
|
||
|
||
The installation of the actual dependencies is covered in the Instructions
|
||
sections below.
|
||
|
||
Instructions: Homebrew
|
||
----------------------
|
||
|
||
#### Install dependencies using Homebrew
|
||
|
||
brew install autoconf automake libtool 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 1.0.1f 6 Jan 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.
|
||
|
||
#### Installing berkeley-db4 using Homebrew
|
||
|
||
The homebrew package for berkeley-db4 has been broken for some time. It will install without Java though.
|
||
|
||
Running this command takes you into brew's interactive mode, which allows you to configure, make, and install by hand:
|
||
```
|
||
$ brew install https://raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/master/Library/Formula/berkeley-db4.rb -–without-java
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
These rest of these commands are run inside brew interactive mode:
|
||
```
|
||
/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O/db-4.8.30 $ cd ..
|
||
/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ db-4.8.30/dist/configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/berkeley-db4/4.8.30 --mandir=/usr/local/Cellar/berkeley-db4/4.8.30/share/man --enable-cxx
|
||
/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ make
|
||
/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ make install
|
||
/private/tmp/berkeley-db4-UGpd0O $ exit
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After exiting, you'll get a warning that the install is keg-only, which means it wasn't symlinked to `/usr/local`. You don't need it to link it to build darkcoin, but if you want to, here's how:
|
||
|
||
$ brew --force link berkeley-db4
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Building `darkcoind`
|
||
|
||
1. Clone the github tree to get the source code and go into the directory.
|
||
|
||
git clone https://github.com/darkcoin/darkcoin.git
|
||
cd darkcoin
|
||
|
||
2. Build darkcoind:
|
||
|
||
./autogen.sh
|
||
./configure
|
||
make
|
||
|
||
3. It is a good idea to build and run the unit tests, too:
|
||
|
||
make check
|
||
|
||
Creating a release build
|
||
------------------------
|
||
You can ignore this section if you are building `darkcoind` for your own use.
|
||
|
||
darkcoind/darkcoin-cli binaries are not included in the Bitcoin-Qt.app bundle.
|
||
|
||
If you are building `darkcoind` 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 $(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
|
||
|
||
Once dependencies are compiled, see release-process.md for how the Bitcoin-Qt.app
|
||
bundle is packaged and signed to create the .dmg disk image that is distributed.
|
||
|
||
Running
|
||
-------
|
||
|
||
It's now available at `./darkcoind`, provided that you are still in the `src`
|
||
directory. We have to first create the RPC configuration file, though.
|
||
|
||
Run `./darkcoind` to get the filename where it should be put, or just try these
|
||
commands:
|
||
|
||
echo -e "rpcuser=darkcoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/darkcoin.conf"
|
||
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/darkcoin.conf"
|
||
|
||
When next 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/Darkcoin/debug.log
|
||
|
||
Other commands:
|
||
|
||
./darkcoind -daemon # to start the darkcoin daemon.
|
||
./darkcoin-cli --help # for a list of command-line options.
|
||
./darkcoin-cli help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
