The depends system will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for installing the toolchain will be different. -First, install the general dependencies: - - sudo apt update - sudo apt upgrade - sudo apt install cmake curl g++ git make pkg-config - -A host toolchain (`g++`) is necessary because some dependency -packages need to build host utilities that are used in the build process. - -See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview. +See [README.md](../depends/README.md) in the depends directory for which +dependencies to install and [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview. If you want to build the Windows installer using the `deploy` build target, you will need [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page): - sudo apt install nsis + apt install nsis Acquire the source in the usual way: git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git cd bitcoin -## Building for 64-bit Windows - -The first step is to install the mingw-w64 cross-compilation toolchain: - -```sh -sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix -``` - -Once the toolchain is installed the build steps are common: - Note that for WSL the Bitcoin Core source path MUST be somewhere in the default mount file system, for example /usr/src/bitcoin, AND not under /mnt/d/. If this is not the case the dependency autoconf scripts will fail. This means you cannot use a directory that is located directly on the host Windows file system to perform the build. |
