Install Required Dependencies +Install the required dependencies the usual way you [install software on FreeBSD](https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/ports.html) - either with `pkg` or via the Ports collection. The example commands below use `pkg` which is usually run as `root` or via `sudo`. If you want to use `sudo`, and you haven't set it up: [use this guide](http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Sudo%2C_configuring) to setup `sudo` access on FreeBSD. ```bash pkg install autoconf automake boost-libs git gmake libevent libtool pkgconf +``` + +### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo +Now that `git` and all the required dependencies are installed, let's 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 ``` -In order to run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed: +### 3. Install Optional Dependencies + +#### Wallet Dependencies +It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run bitcoind or the GUI. To enable legacy wallets, you must install `db5`. To enable [descriptor wallets](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/descriptors.md), `sqlite3` is required. Skip `db5` if you intend to *exclusively* use descriptor wallets + +###### Legacy Wallet Support +`db5` is required to enable support for legacy wallets. Skip if you don't intend to use legacy wallets ```bash -pkg install python3 +pkg install db5 ``` -See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview. +###### Descriptor Wallet Support -### Building BerkeleyDB +`sqlite3` is required to enable support for descriptor wallets. Skip if you don't intend to use descriptor wallets. +``` bash +pkg install sqlite3 +``` +--- -BerkeleyDB is only necessary for the wallet functionality. To skip this, pass -`--disable-wallet` to `./configure` and skip to the next section. +#### GUI Dependencies +###### Qt5 +Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install `qt5`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI. ```bash -./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd` -export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4" +pkg install qt5 ``` +###### libqrencode + +The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `libqrencode`. Skip if not using the GUI or don't want QR code functionality. +```bash +pkg install libqrencode +``` +--- + +#### Test Suite Dependencies +There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing. +To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed: + +```bash +pkg install python3 +``` +--- ## Building Bitcoin Core -**Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error). +### 1. Configuration -With wallet: +There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core, here are a few common examples: +##### Wallet (BDB + SQlite) Support, No GUI: +This explicitly enables legacy wallet support and disables the GUI. If `sqlite3` is installed, then descriptor wallet support will be built. ```bash ./autogen.sh -./configure --with-gui=no \ - BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \ - BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \ +./configure --with-gui=no --with-incompatible-bdb \ + BDB_LIBS="-ldb_cxx-5" \ + BDB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/db5" \ MAKE=gmake ``` -Without wallet: +##### Wallet (only SQlite) and GUI Support: +This explicitly enables the GUI and disables legacy wallet support. If `qt5` is not installed, this will throw an error. If `sqlite3` is installed then descriptor wallet functionality will be built. If `sqlite3` is not installed, then wallet functionality will be disabled. ```bash ./autogen.sh -./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet MAKE=gmake +./configure --without-bdb --with-gui=yes MAKE=gmake +``` +##### No Wallet or GUI +``` bash +./autogen.sh +./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no MAKE=gmake ``` -followed by: +### 2.
