# NetBSD Build Guide
|
|
|
|
**Updated for NetBSD [10.1](https://netbsd.org/releases/formal-10/NetBSD-10.1.html)**
|
|
|
|
This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on NetBSD.
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
### 1. Install Required Dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install the required dependencies the usual way you [install software on NetBSD](https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html#chap-boot-pkgsrc).
|
|
The example commands below use `pkgin`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin install git cmake pkg-config boost libevent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
NetBSD currently ships with an older version of `gcc` than is needed to build. You should upgrade your `gcc` and then pass this new version to the configure script.
|
|
|
|
For example, grab `gcc12`:
|
|
```
|
|
pkgin install gcc12
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, when configuring, pass the following:
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -B build
|
|
...
|
|
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER="/usr/pkg/gcc12/bin/gcc" \
|
|
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER="/usr/pkg/gcc12/bin/g++" \
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
SQLite is required for the wallet:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin sqlite3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build Bitcoin Core without the wallet, use `-DENABLE_WALLET=OFF`.
|
|
|
|
Cap'n Proto is needed for IPC functionality (see [multiprocess.md](multiprocess.md)):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin capnproto
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Compile with `-DENABLE_IPC=OFF` if you do not need IPC functionality.
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
|
|
|
|
Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
|
|
|
|
#### GUI Dependencies
|
|
###### Qt6
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install
|
|
the necessary parts of Qt, the libqrencode and pass `-DBUILD_GUI=ON`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin install qt6-qtbase qt6-qttools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### libqrencode
|
|
|
|
The GUI will be able to encode addresses in QR codes unless this feature is explicitly disabled. To install libqrencode, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin install qrencode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, if you don't need QR encoding support, use the `-DWITH_QRENCODE=OFF` option to disable this feature in order to compile the GUI.
|
|
|
|
#### Notifications
|
|
###### ZeroMQ
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core can provide notifications via ZeroMQ. If the package is installed, support will be compiled in.
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin zeromq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Test Suite Dependencies
|
|
|
|
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
|
|
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkgin install python310 py310-zmq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
### 1. Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core. Here is an example that
|
|
explicitly disables the wallet and GUI:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -B build -DENABLE_WALLET=OFF -DBUILD_GUI=OFF
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `cmake -B build -LH` to see the full list of available options.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Compile
|
|
|
|
Build and run the tests:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake --build build # Append "-j N" for N parallel jobs.
|
|
ctest --test-dir build # Append "-j N" for N parallel tests. Some tests are disabled if Python 3 is not available.
|
|
```
