History

Cory Fields 50037e97d1 depends: fix boost mac cross build with clang 9+ The ancient "darwin-4.9.1" profile has long been used to match against clang, which prior to version 9, reported 4.9.1 as its version when invoking "clang++ -dumpversion". Presumably this was a historical compatibility quirk related to Apple's switch from gcc to clang. This was "fixed" in clang 9.0, so that -dumpversion reports the real version. Unfortunately that had the side-effect of breaking the (brittle) boost compiler detection. Move to the seemingly more-correct "clang-darwin" profile, which passes the checks and builds correctly. Also switch to using ar rather than libtool for archiving, as it's what the clang-darwin profile expects to be using. Note that because this is using a different profile, some of the final command-line arguments end up changing. The changes look sane at a glance.		5 years ago

Usage

To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:

make

To build for another arch/OS:

make HOST=host-platform-triplet

For example:

make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4

Bitcoin's configure script by default will ignore the depends output. In order for it to pick up libraries, tools, and settings from the depends build, you must point it at the appropriate --prefix directory generated by the build. In the above example, a prefix dir named x86_64-w64-mingw32 will be created. To use it for Bitcoin:

./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32

Common host-platform-triplets for cross compilation are:

i686-pc-linux-gnu for Linux 32 bit
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu for x86 Linux
x86_64-w64-mingw32 for Win64
x86_64-apple-darwin14 for macOS
arm-linux-gnueabihf for Linux ARM 32 bit
aarch64-linux-gnu for Linux ARM 64 bit
riscv32-linux-gnu for Linux RISC-V 32 bit
riscv64-linux-gnu for Linux RISC-V 64 bit

No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.

Install the required dependencies: Ubuntu & Debian

For macOS cross compilation

sudo apt-get install curl librsvg2-bin libtiff-tools bsdmainutils cmake imagemagick libcap-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev python3-setuptools

For Win32/Win64 cross compilation

see build-windows.md

For linux (including i386, ARM) cross compilation

Common linux dependencies:

sudo apt-get install make automake cmake curl g++-multilib libtool binutils-gold bsdmainutils pkg-config python3 patch

For linux ARM cross compilation:

sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

For linux AARCH64 cross compilation:

sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu

For linux RISC-V 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):

sudo apt-get install g++-riscv64-linux-gnu binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu

RISC-V known issue: gcc-7.3.0 and gcc-7.3.1 result in a broken test_bitcoin executable (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/13543), this is apparently fixed in gcc-8.1.0.

Dependency Options

The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar

SOURCES_PATH: downloaded sources will be placed here
BASE_CACHE: built packages will be placed here
SDK_PATH: Path where sdk's can be found (used by macOS)
FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
NO_QT: Don't download/build/cache qt and its dependencies
NO_ZMQ: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling zeromq
NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
NO_UPNP: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling upnp
DEBUG: disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
RAPIDCHECK: build rapidcheck (experimental, requires cmake)
PROTOBUF: build protobuf (used for deprecated BIP70 support)
HOST_ID_SALT: Optional salt to use when generating host package ids
BUILD_ID_SALT: Optional salt to use when generating build package ids

If some packages are not built, for example make NO_WALLET=1, the appropriate options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, --disable-wallet.

Additional targets

download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for macOS builds
download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds
