+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 qt5-qtbase qt5-qttools
```
-The GUI can encode addresses in a QR Code. To build in QR support for the GUI, install `qrencode`.
+###### 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.

#### Test Suite Dependencies
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.

### Building Bitcoin Core
-**Note**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error).

### 1. Configuration
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core. Here is an example that
explicitly disables the wallet and GUI:
```bash
-./autogen.sh
-./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no \
- CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \
- MAKE=gmake
+cmake -B build -DENABLE_WALLET=OFF -DBUILD_GUI=OFF
```
-For a full list of configuration options, see the output of `./configure --help`
+Run `cmake -B build -LH` to see the full list of available options.
### 2. Compile
Build and run the tests:
```bash
-gmake # use "-j N" here for N parallel jobs
-gmake check # Run tests if Python 3 is available
+cmake --build build # Use "-j N" for N parallel jobs.
+ctest --test-dir build # Use "-j N" for N parallel tests. Some tests are disabled if Python 3 is not available.
```
