Mac OS X Build Instructions and Notes
|
|
|
|
|
====================================
|
|
|
|
|
The commands in this guide should be executed in a Terminal application.
|
|
|
|
|
The built-in one is located in `/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preparation
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
Install the OS X command line tools:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`xcode-select --install`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When the popup appears, click `Install`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then install [Homebrew](https://brew.sh).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brew install automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf python3 qt libevent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to build the disk image with `make deploy` (.dmg / optional), you need RSVG
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brew install librsvg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to build with ZeroMQ support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
brew install zeromq
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Building with Qt4 is still supported, however, could result in a broken UI. Building with Qt5 is recommended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Berkeley DB
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use [the installation script included in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh)
|
|
|
|
|
like so
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
|
|
|
./contrib/install_db4.sh .
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the root of the repository.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Note**: You only need Berkeley DB if the wallet is enabled (see the section *Disable-Wallet mode* below).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build Kevacoin Core
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the kevacoin source code and cd into `kevacoin`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/kevacoin-project/kevacoin
|
|
|
|
|
cd kevacoin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Build kevacoin-core:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configure and build the headless kevacoin binaries as well as the GUI (if Qt is found).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can disable the GUI build by passing `--without-gui` to configure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. You can also create a .dmg that contains the .app bundle (optional):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make deploy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Installation into user directories (optional):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cd ~/kevacoin/src
|
|
|
|
|
cp kevacoind /usr/local/bin/
|
|
|
|
|
cp kevacoin-cli /usr/local/bin/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kevacoin Core is now available at `./src/kevacoind`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Before running, it's recommended you create an RPC configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
echo -e "rpcuser=kevacoinrpc\nrpcpassword=$(xxd -l 16 -p /dev/urandom)" > "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Kevacoin/kevacoin.conf"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chmod 600 "/Users/${USER}/Library/Application Support/Kevacoin/kevacoin.conf"
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first time you run kevacoind, it will start downloading the blockchain. This process could take several hours.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can monitor the download process by looking at the debug.log file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
tail -f $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Kevacoin/debug.log
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other commands:
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./src/kevacoind -daemon # Starts the kevacoin daemon.
|
|
|
|
|
./src/kevacoin-cli --help # Outputs a list of command-line options.
|
|
|
|
|
./src/kevacoin-cli help # Outputs a list of RPC commands when the daemon is running.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using Qt Creator as IDE
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
You can use Qt Creator as an IDE, for kevacoin development.
|
|
|
|
|
Download and install the community edition of [Qt Creator](https://www.qt.io/download/).
|
|
|
|
|
Uncheck everything except Qt Creator during the installation process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure you installed everything through Homebrew mentioned above
|
|
|
|
|
2. Do a proper ./configure --enable-debug
|
|
|
|
|
3. In Qt Creator do "New Project" -> Import Project -> Import Existing Project
|
|
|
|
|
4. Enter "kevacoin-qt" as project name, enter src/qt as location
|
|
|
|
|
5. Leave the file selection as it is
|
|
|
|
|
6. Confirm the "summary page"
|
|
|
|
|
7. In the "Projects" tab select "Manage Kits..."
|
|
|
|
|
8. Select the default "Desktop" kit and select "Clang (x86 64bit in /usr/bin)" as compiler
|
|
|
|
|
9. Select LLDB as debugger (you might need to set the path to your installation)
|
|
|
|
|
10. Start debugging with Qt Creator
|
