UNIX BUILD NOTES
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Some notes on how to build Bitcoin in Unix.
|
||||
|
||||
Note
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
Always use absolute paths to configure and compile bitcoin and the dependencies,
|
||||
for example, when specifying the the path of the dependency:
|
||||
|
||||
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
|
||||
|
||||
Here BDB_PREFIX must 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 bitcoin-qt as well if the dependencies are met.
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
These dependencies are required:
|
||||
|
||||
Library | Purpose | Description
|
||||
------------|------------------|----------------------
|
||||
libssl | SSL Support | Secure communications
|
||||
libboost | Boost | C++ Library
|
||||
|
||||
Optional dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
Library | Purpose | Description
|
||||
------------|------------------|----------------------
|
||||
miniupnpc | UPnP Support | Firewall-jumping support
|
||||
libdb4.8 | Berkeley DB | Wallet storage (only needed when wallet enabled)
|
||||
qt | GUI | GUI toolkit (only needed when GUI enabled)
|
||||
protobuf | Payments in GUI | Data interchange format used for payment protocol (only needed when GUI enabled)
|
||||
libqrencode | QR codes in GUI | Optional for generating QR codes (only needed when GUI enabled)
|
||||
|
||||
For the versions used in the release, see [release-process.md](release-process.md) under *Fetch and build inputs*.
|
||||
|
||||
System requirements
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
|
||||
C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1 GB of
|
||||
memory available when compiling Bitcoin Core. With 512MB of memory or less
|
||||
compilation will take much longer due to swap thrashing.
|
||||
|
||||
Dependency Build Instructions: Ubuntu & Debian
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
Build requirements:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev
|
||||
|
||||
For Ubuntu 12.04 and later or Debian 7 and later libboost-all-dev has to be installed:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
|
||||
|
||||
db4.8 packages are available [here](https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin).
|
||||
You can add the repository using the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
|
||||
sudo apt-get update
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu 12.04 and later have packages for libdb5.1-dev and libdb5.1++-dev,
|
||||
but using these will break binary wallet compatibility, and is not recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
For other Debian & Ubuntu (with ppa):
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev (see --with-miniupnpc and --enable-upnp-default)
|
||||
|
||||
Dependencies for the GUI: Ubuntu & Debian
|
||||
-----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to build Bitcoin-Qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
|
||||
are installed. Either Qt 4 or Qt 5 are necessary to build the GUI.
|
||||
If both Qt 4 and Qt 5 are installed, Qt 4 will be used. Pass `--with-gui=qt5` to configure to choose Qt5.
|
||||
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
|
||||
|
||||
To build with Qt 4 you need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
|
||||
|
||||
For Qt 5 you need the following:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
|
||||
|
||||
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
|
||||
|
||||
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a bitcoin-qt executable will be
|
||||
built by default.
|
||||
|
||||
Notes
|
||||
-----
|
||||
The release is built with GCC and then "strip bitcoind" to strip the debug
|
||||
symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
miniupnpc
|
||||
---------
|
||||
|
||||
[miniupnpc](http://miniupnp.free.fr/) may be used for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from [here](
|
||||
http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). UPnP support is compiled in and
|
||||
turned off by default. See the configure options for upnp behavior desired:
|
||||
|
||||
--without-miniupnpc No UPnP support miniupnp not required
|
||||
--disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
|
||||
--enable-upnp-default UPnP support turned on by default at runtime
|
||||
|
||||
To build:
|
||||
|
||||
tar -xzvf miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz
|
||||
cd miniupnpc-1.6
|
||||
make
|
||||
sudo su
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Berkeley DB
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
|
||||
|
||||
# Pick some path to install BDB to, here we create a directory within the bitcoin directory
|
||||
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db4"
|
||||
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
|
||||
|
||||
# Fetch the source and verify that it is not tampered with
|
||||
wget 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz'
|
||||
echo '12edc0df75bf9abd7f82f821795bcee50f42cb2e5f76a6a281b85732798364ef db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz' | sha256sum -c
|
||||
# -> db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz: OK
|
||||
tar -xzvf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
# Build the library and install to our prefix
|
||||
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
|
||||
# Note: Do a static build so that it can be embedded into the executable, instead of having to find a .so at runtime
|
||||
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
|
||||
make install
|
||||
|
||||
# Configure Bitcoin Core to use our own-built instance of BDB
|
||||
cd $BITCOIN_ROOT
|
||||
./configure (other args...) LDFLAGS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib/" CPPFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include/"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: You only need Berkeley DB if the wallet is enabled (see the section *Disable-Wallet mode* below).
|
||||
|
||||
Boost
|
||||
-----
|
||||
If you need to build Boost yourself:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo su
|
||||
./bootstrap.sh
|
||||
./bjam install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Security
|
||||
--------
|
||||
To help make your bitcoin 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 ./bitcoin
|
||||
|
||||
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, bitcoin 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 ./bitcoin`
|
||||
|
||||
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, bitcoin may be compiled in
|
||||
disable-wallet mode with:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure --disable-wallet
|
||||
|
||||
In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.
|
||||
|
||||
Mining is also possible in disable-wallet mode, but only using the `getblocktemplate` RPC
|
||||
call not `getwork`.
