Usage

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

A prefix will be generated that's suitable for plugging into Bitcoin's configure. In the above example, a 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:

  • x86_64-w64-mingw32 for Win64
  • x86_64-apple-darwin16 for macOS
  • arm-linux-gnueabihf for Linux ARM 32 bit
  • aarch64-linux-gnu for Linux ARM 64 bit
  • riscv32-linux-gnu for Linux RISC-V 32 bit
  • riscv64-linux-gnu for Linux RISC-V 64 bit

No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.

Install the required dependencies: Ubuntu & Debian

For macOS cross compilation

sudo apt-get install curl librsvg2-bin libtiff-tools bsdmainutils cmake imagemagick libcap-dev libz-dev libbz2-dev python3-setuptools

Note: You must obtain the macOS SDK before proceeding with a cross-compile. Under the depends directory, create a subdirectory named SDKs. Then, place the extracted SDK under this new directory. For more information, see SDK Extraction.

For Win64 cross compilation

For linux (including i386, ARM) cross compilation

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_pivx executable (see bitcoin/bitcoin#13543), this is apparently fixed in gcc-8.1.0.

Dependency Options

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_QT
Don't download/build/cache qt and its dependencies
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
NO_NATPMP
Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling NAT-PMP
NO_RUST
Don't download/build/cache rust packages (including librustzcash)
ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES
Packages that are missed in dependencies (due to `NO_*` option or build script logic) are searched for among the host system packages using `pkg-config`. It allows building with packages of other (newer) versions
DEBUG
disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
HOST_ID_SALT
Optional salt to use when generating host package ids
BUILD_ID_SALT
Optional salt to use when generating build package ids
FORCE_USE_SYSTEM_CLANG
(EXPERTS ONLY) When cross-compiling for macOS, use clang found in the system's $PATH rather than the default prebuilt release of clang from llvm.org

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.

Additional targets

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
