This avoids conflicts between the libraries statically linked into bitcoin and any
libraries we may link dynamically (such as Qt and OpenSSL, see issue #4094).
It also avoids start-up overhead to not export any unnecessary symbols.
To do this, build a linker script that marks all symbols as local.
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.
Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.
This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.
Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.
Add a script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian
only contain allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols. This
makes sure they are still compatible with the minimum supported Linux
distribution versions.
Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well.
qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win,
Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency
and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a
good thing as it is huge.
For qt5.2 on osx, the qcocoa plugin is mandatory. However, it fails to load
when qt.conf specifies the "plugin" path instead of the expected "Plugin". This
is in line with the documentation:
https://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtdoc/qt-conf.html
I'm not sure how the plugins were loading before, unless the case-sensitivity
for OSX is new.
IIRC this was the case with 0.8.6, so let's keep this to avoid the risk
of losing connectable nodes with 0.9 release.
Also our miniupnpc library was recently updated and I've heard
reports that it works better than before now.
While building protobuf in different environments we noticed that
the host tool protoc was slightly different between builds (a symbol table
sorting issue).
Add a deterministic seed as well as disable zlib support.
Exected output is now:

No effect on final executables so no version bump.
Boost iostreams was picking up libz-dev in VirtualBox, as the recommended
way to build is now to make a VM with all dependency packages installed.
This caused a divergence between KVM/LXC build and VirtualBox
build results.
Fix this in the simplest possible way: add the libz-dev package.
ar -D: Operate in deterministic mode. When adding files and the archive
index use zero for UIDs, GIDs, timestamps, and use consistent file modes
for all files. When this option is used, if ar is used with identical
options and identical input files, multiple runs will create identical
output files regardless of the input files' owners, groups, file modes,
or modification times.
contrib/devtools/fix-copyright-headers.py script to be able to perform this maintenance task with ease during the rest of the year, every year. Modifications to contrib/devtools/README.md to document what fix-copyright-headers.py does.
It appears that the output was different every time.
This doesn't affect the final bitcoind/bitcoin-qt, but is confusing
nevertheless.
Fix it by using FAKETIME and zipping files in deterministic order.
OpenSSL was embedding a timestamp causing its build to be
non-deterministic.
Change deps-linux to be deterministic by using FAKETIME
as needed and disabling it when it gets in the way.
- Add 'g++' package (virtualbox images don't have this by default)
- Workaround for determinism in Qt5 resources
- Pass --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking to
configure for libqrencode to avoid random errors about missing m4
directory
- Fix typo -with-pic -> --with-pic
It is not necessary to rebuild dependencies after this commit.
Fixes#3610 and #3612.
- adds a nice and well formated dialog, which displays our -? help message
(all options/paramaters)
- moves aboutdialog.cpp/h to the new utilitydialog
- move GUI shutdown window to utilitydialog
Instead of using the boost provided by Ubuntu 12.04, build our own
dependency like we do for Windows.
This allows using a much newer version (1.55 versus 1.46) as well as
building with `-fPIC` so that `-pie` can be used in the x86-64 build.
Build only the mt-s (multithreaded, static runtime link)
variant of the library.
This cuts the build time in half.
Also prevent unpacked boost from ending up in output directory,
checking and hashing all the source files as output files this
takes a lot of time and is pointless.
Use a series of .png frames for the spinner instead of a .mng.
`mng` is an obscure image format and is not built by default into Qt5.
This appears to improve the crispness of the spinner as well.
Does not noticably increase the size (still ~27k) and the code
is not more complicated either.
