Bitcoin-Qt Readme |
||||
=============================== |
||||
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 |
||||
