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 |
||||
|
||||
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 |
||||
|
||||
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 |
||||
|
||||
then execute the following: |
||||
|
||||
:: |
||||
|
||||
qmake |
||||
make |
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, install `Qt Creator`_ and open the `bitcoin-qt.pro` file. |
||||
|
||||
An executable named `bitcoin-qt` will be built. |
||||
|
||||
.. _`Qt Creator`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/ |
||||
|
||||
Mac OS X |
||||
-------- |
||||
|
||||
- Download and install the `Qt Mac OS X SDK`_. It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools. |
||||
|
||||
- Download and install either `MacPorts`_ or `HomeBrew`_. |
||||
|
||||
- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using MacPorts: |
||||
|
||||
:: |
||||
|
||||
sudo port selfupdate |
||||
sudo port install boost db48 miniupnpc |
||||
|
||||
- Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using HomeBrew: |
||||
|
||||
:: |
||||
|
||||
brew update |
||||
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4 |
||||
|
||||
- If using HomeBrew, edit `bitcoin-qt.pro` to account for library location differences. There's a diff in `contrib/homebrew/bitcoin-qt-pro.patch` that shows what you need to change, or you can just patch by doing |
||||
|
||||
patch -p1 < contrib/homebrew/bitcoin.qt.pro.patch |
||||
|
||||
- Open the bitcoin-qt.pro file in Qt Creator and build as normal (cmd-B) |
||||
|
||||
.. _`Qt Mac OS X SDK`: http://qt-project.org/downloads/ |
||||
.. _`MacPorts`: http://www.macports.org/install.php |
||||
.. _`HomeBrew`: http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/ |

||||
Build configuration options |
||||
============================ |
||||
|
||||
UPnP port forwarding |
||||
--------------------- |
||||
|
||||
To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake: |
||||
|
||||
:: |
||||
|
||||
qmake "USE_UPNP=1" |
||||
|
||||
(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**) |
||||
|
||||
This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from |
||||
http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/. UPnP support is not compiled in by default. |
||||
|
||||
Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this: |
||||
|
||||
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
| USE_UPNP=- | no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required; | |
||||
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
| USE_UPNP=0 | (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime; | |
||||
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
| USE_UPNP=1 | build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime. | |
||||
+------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
|
||||
Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions |
||||
--------------------------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
To see desktop notifications on (k)ubuntu versions starting from 10.04, enable usage of the |
||||
FreeDesktop notification interface through DBUS using the following qmake option: |
||||
|
||||
:: |
||||
|
||||
qmake "USE_DBUS=1" |
||||
|
||||
Generation of QR codes |
||||
----------------------- |
||||
|
||||
libqrencode may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests. |
||||
It can be downloaded from http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/index.html.en, or installed via your package manager. Pass the USE_QRCODE |
||||
flag to qmake to control this: |
||||
|
||||
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
| USE_QRCODE=0 | (the default) No QRCode support - libarcode not required | |
||||
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||
| USE_QRCODE=1 | QRCode support enabled | |
||||
+--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
||||

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`_). |
||||
|
||||
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`_, 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 |
||||
|
||||
