OpenBSD build guide
|
|
======================
|
|
(updated for OpenBSD 6.2)
|
|
|
|
This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
OpenBSD is most commonly used as a server OS, so this guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
Run the following as root to install the base dependencies for building:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add git gmake libevent libtool
|
|
pkg_add autoconf # (select highest version, e.g. 2.69)
|
|
pkg_add automake # (select highest version, e.g. 1.15)
|
|
pkg_add python # (select highest version, e.g. 3.6)
|
|
pkg_add boost
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
GCC
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 6.2 is g++ 4.2.1. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core because it has no C++11 support. We'll install a newer version of GCC:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add g++
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This compiler will not overwrite the system compiler, it will be installed as `egcc` and `eg++` in `/usr/local/bin`.
|
|
|
|
### Building BerkeleyDB
|
|
|
|
BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass `--disable-wallet` to `./configure`.
|
|
|
|
See "Berkeley DB" in [build-unix.md](build-unix.md#berkeley-db) for instructions on how to build BerkeleyDB 4.8.
|
|
You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library from ports, for the same reason as boost above (g++/libstd++ incompatibility).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Pick some path to install BDB to, here we create a directory within the bitcoin directory
|
|
BITCOIN_ROOT=$(pwd)
|
|
BDB_PREFIX="${BITCOIN_ROOT}/db4"
|
|
mkdir -p $BDB_PREFIX
|
|
|
|
# Fetch the source and verify that it is not tampered with
|
|
curl -o db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz 'http://download.oracle.com/berkeley-db/db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz'
|
|
echo '12edc0df75bf9abd7f82f821795bcee50f42cb2e5f76a6a281b85732798364ef db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz' | sha256 -c
|
|
# MUST output: (SHA256) db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz: OK
|
|
tar -xzf db-4.8.30.NC.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
# Build the library and install to specified prefix
|
|
cd db-4.8.30.NC/build_unix/
|
|
# Note: Do a static build so that it can be embedded into the executable, instead of having to find a .so at runtime
|
|
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CPP=ecpp
|
|
make install # do NOT use -jX, this is broken
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Resource limits
|
|
|
|
The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:
|
|
|
|
data(kbytes) 1572864
|
|
|
|
This, unfortunately, may no longer be enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project,
|
|
at least with GCC 4.9.4 (see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)).
|
|
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with:
|
|
|
|
ulimit -d 3000000
|
|
|
|
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To
|
|
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in
|
|
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot.
|
|
|
|
### Building Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
**Important**: use `gmake`, not `make`. The non-GNU `make` will exit with a horrible error.
|
|
|
|
Preparation:
|
|
```bash
|
|
export AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.69 # replace this with the autoconf version that you installed
|
|
export AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.15 # replace this with the automake version that you installed
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
```
|
|
Make sure `BDB_PREFIX` is set to the appropriate path from the above steps.
|
|
|
|
To configure with wallet:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure --with-gui=no CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CPP=ecpp \
|
|
BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To configure without wallet:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=egcc CXX=eg++ CPP=ecpp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build and run the tests:
|
|
```bash
|
|
gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
|
|
gmake check
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Clang
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add llvm
|
|
|
|
./configure --disable-wallet --with-gui=no CC=clang CXX=clang++
|
|
gmake # use -jX here for parallelism
|
|
gmake check
|
|
```
