To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
To build for another arch/OS:
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
For example:
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
Bitcoin's configure script by default will ignore the depends output. In
order for it to pick up libraries, tools, and settings from the depends build,
you must point it at the appropriate --prefix
directory generated by the
build. In the above example, a prefix dir named x86_64-w64-mingw32 will be
created. To use it for Bitcoin:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32
Common host-platform-triplets
for cross compilation are:
i686-pc-linux-gnu
for Linux 32 bitx86_64-pc-linux-gnu
for x86 Linuxx86_64-w64-mingw32
for Win64x86_64-apple-darwin18
for macOSarm-linux-gnueabihf
for Linux ARM 32 bitaarch64-linux-gnu
for Linux ARM 64 bitriscv32-linux-gnu
for Linux RISC-V 32 bitriscv64-linux-gnu
for Linux RISC-V 64 bit
No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
sudo apt-get install curl librsvg2-bin libtiff-tools bsdmainutils cmake imagemagick libcap-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev python3-setuptools
- see build-windows.md
Common linux dependencies:
sudo apt-get install make automake cmake curl g++-multilib libtool binutils-gold bsdmainutils pkg-config python3 patch
For linux ARM cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
For linux AARCH64 cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
For linux RISC-V 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):
sudo apt-get install g++-riscv64-linux-gnu binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu
RISC-V known issue: gcc-7.3.0 and gcc-7.3.1 result in a broken test_bitcoin
executable (see bitcoin/bitcoin#13543),
this is apparently fixed in gcc-8.1.0.
The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar
SOURCES_PATH: downloaded sources will be placed here
BASE_CACHE: built packages will be placed here
SDK_PATH: Path where sdk's can be found (used by macOS)
FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
NO_ZMQ: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling zeromq
NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
NO_UPNP: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling upnp
DEBUG: disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
RAPIDCHECK: build rapidcheck (experimental, requires cmake)
HOST_ID_SALT: Optional salt to use when generating host package ids
BUILD_ID_SALT: Optional salt to use when generating build package ids
If some packages are not built, for example make NO_WALLET=1
, the appropriate
options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, --disable-wallet
.
download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for macOS builds
download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds
