NetBSD Build Guide
======================
**Updated for NetBSD [8.0](https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-8/NetBSD-8.0.html)**

This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on NetBSD.

This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.

Preparation
-------------

You will need the following modules, which can be installed via pkgsrc or pkgin:

```
autoconf
automake
boost
git
gmake
libevent
libtool
pkg-config
python37

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
```

See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.

### Building Bitcoin Core

**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).

#### With descriptor wallet:

The descriptor wallet uses `sqlite3`. You can install it using:
```bash
pkgin install sqlite3
```

```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --without-bdb \
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    MAKE=gmake
```

#### With legacy wallet:

BerkeleyDB is use for legacy wallet functionality.

It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library
from ports.
You can use [the installation script included in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh) like so:

```bash
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
```

from the root of the repository. Then set `BDB_PREFIX` for the next section:

```bash
export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
```

```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \
    BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \
    MAKE=gmake
```

#### Without wallet:
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet \
    CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \
    BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
    MAKE=gmake
```

Build and run the tests:
```bash
gmake # use "-j N" here for N parallel jobs
gmake check
```
