NetBSD Build Guide ====================== **Updated for NetBSD [8.0](https://www.netbsd.org/releases/formal-8/NetBSD-8.0.html)** This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on NetBSD. This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI. Preparation ------------- You will need the following modules, which can be installed via pkgsrc or pkgin: ``` autoconf automake boost git gmake libevent libtool pkg-config python37 git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git ``` See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview. ### Building Bitcoin Core **Important**: Use `gmake` (the non-GNU `make` will exit with an error). #### With descriptor wallet: The descriptor wallet uses `sqlite3`. You can install it using: ```bash pkgin install sqlite3 ``` ```bash ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-gui=no --without-bdb \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \ BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ MAKE=gmake ``` #### With legacy wallet: BerkeleyDB is use for legacy wallet functionality. It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. You cannot use the BerkeleyDB library from ports. You can use [the installation script included in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh) like so: ```bash ./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd` ``` from the root of the repository. Then set `BDB_PREFIX` for the next section: ```bash export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4" ``` ```bash ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-gui=no CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \ BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" \ BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" \ MAKE=gmake ``` #### Without wallet: ```bash ./autogen.sh ./configure --with-gui=no --disable-wallet \ CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" \ BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" \ MAKE=gmake ``` Build and run the tests: ```bash gmake # use "-j N" here for N parallel jobs gmake check ```
