FreeBSD build guide
|
|
======================
|
|
(updated for FreeBSD 11.1)
|
|
|
|
This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
You will need the following dependencies, which can be installed as root via pkg:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pkg install autoconf automake boost-libs git gmake libevent libtool openssl pkgconf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For the wallet (optional):
|
|
```
|
|
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
|
|
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
Download the source code:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
./configure # to build with wallet OR
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet # to build without wallet
|
|
|
|
gmake
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
*Note on debugging*: The version of `gdb` installed by default is [ancient and considered harmful](https://wiki.freebsd.org/GdbRetirement).
|
|
It is not suitable for debugging a multi-threaded C++ program, not even for getting backtraces. Please install the package `gdb` and
|
|
use the versioned gdb command (e.g. `gdb7111`).
