Now that autotools is used as a build system there is nothing special about building the GUI anymore. Merge the salvageable parts into build-unix.md0.10

|
||||||
=============================== |
|
||||||
Contains build and configuration instructions for Bitcoin-Qt (Qt4 GUI for Bitcoin). |
|

|
|
||||||
Build Instructions |
|
||||||
--------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Debian |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your |
|
||||||
distribution are installed, these are |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
for Debian and Ubuntu <= 11.10 : |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \ |
|
||||||
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \ |
|
||||||
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
for Ubuntu >= 12.04 (please read the 'Berkely DB version warning' below): |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \ |
|
||||||
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \ |
|
||||||
libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For Qt 5 you need the following, otherwise you get an error with lrelease when running qmake: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt5-qmake libqt5gui5 libqt5core5 libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev-tools |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and bitcoin-qt will be |
|
||||||
built by default. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Mac OS X |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Download and install the [Qt Mac OS X SDK](https://qt-project.org/downloads). It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools. |
|
||||||
* Download and install either [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) or [HomeBrew](http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/). |
|
||||||
* Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using MacPorts |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo port selfupdate |
|
||||||
sudo port install boost db48 miniupnpc protobuf-cpp |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using HomeBrew: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
brew update |
|
||||||
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4 protobuf |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build Configuration Options |
|
||||||
--------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### UPnP port forwarding |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
UPnP support is compiled in when possible and turned off by default. See the |
|
||||||
configure options for upnp behavior desired: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
--with-miniupnpc No UPnP support miniupnp not required |
|
||||||
--disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime |
|
||||||
--enable-upnp-default UPnP support turned on by default at runtime |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
DBUS support is enabled by default if dependencies are met. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the --with-qtdbus configure option. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Generation of QR codes |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[libqrencode](http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/) may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QR code support is enabled by default if dependencies are met. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the --with-qrencode configure option. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Warnings |
|
||||||
--------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Berkely DB Version Warning |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Bitcoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**). |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The static binary version of Bitcoin is linked against libdb4.8 (see also [this Debian issue](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621425)). |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded, and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without significant hassle! |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Ubuntu 11.10 Warning |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ubuntu 11.10 has a package called 'qt-at-spi' installed by default. At the time of writing, having that package installed causes bitcoin-qt to crash intermittently. The issue has been reported as [launchpad bug 857790](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-at-spi/+bug/857790), but |
|
||||||
isn't yet fixed. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Until the bug is fixed, you can remove the qt-at-spi package to work around the problem, though this will presumably disable screen reader functionality for Qt apps: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi |
|
||||||
