Build Configuration Options
---------------------
### UPnP port forwarding
-To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
-
+UPnP support is compiled in when possible and turned off by default. See the
+configure options for upnp behavior desired:
-
- qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
-
-(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
-
-This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from [here](
-http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
-
-Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
-
-
- USE_UPNP=- no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required;
- USE_UPNP=0 (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime;
- USE_UPNP=1 build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime.
+ --with-miniupnpc No UPnP support miniupnp not required
+ --disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
+ --enable-upnp-default UPnP support turned on by default at runtime
