# OpenBSD Build Guide
|
|
|
|
**Updated for OpenBSD [7.6](https://www.openbsd.org/76.html)**
|
|
|
|
This guide describes how to build bitcoind, command-line utilities, and GUI on OpenBSD.
|
|
|
|
## Preparation
|
|
|
|
### 1. Install Required Dependencies
|
|
Run the following as root to install the base dependencies for building.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add git cmake boost libevent
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Clone Bitcoin Repo
|
|
Clone the Bitcoin Core repository to a directory. All build scripts and commands will run from this directory.
|
|
``` bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3. Install Optional Dependencies
|
|
|
|
#### Wallet Dependencies
|
|
|
|
It is not necessary to build wallet functionality to run either `bitcoind` or `bitcoin-qt`.
|
|
SQLite is required to build the wallet.
|
|
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
pkg_add sqlite3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### GUI Dependencies
|
|
###### Qt6
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core includes a GUI built with the cross-platform Qt Framework. To compile the GUI, we need to install
|
|
the necessary parts of Qt, the libqrencode and pass `-DBUILD_GUI=ON`. Skip if you don't intend to use the GUI.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add qt6-qtbase qt6-qttools
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
###### libqrencode
|
|
|
|
The GUI will be able to encode addresses in QR codes unless this feature is explicitly disabled. To install libqrencode, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add libqrencode
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, if you don't need QR encoding support, use the `-DWITH_QRENCODE=OFF` option to disable this feature in order to compile the GUI.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
#### Notifications
|
|
###### ZeroMQ
|
|
|
|
Bitcoin Core can provide notifications via ZeroMQ. If the package is installed, support will be compiled in.
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add zeromq
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Test Suite Dependencies
|
|
There is an included test suite that is useful for testing code changes when developing.
|
|
To run the test suite (recommended), you will need to have Python 3 installed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pkg_add python py3-zmq # Select the newest version of the python package if necessary.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building Bitcoin Core
|
|
|
|
### 1. Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to configure Bitcoin Core, here are a few common examples:
|
|
|
|
##### Descriptor Wallet and GUI:
|
|
This enables descriptor wallet support and the GUI, assuming SQLite and Qt 6 are installed.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake -B build -DBUILD_GUI=ON
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `cmake -B build -LH` to see the full list of available options.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Compile
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cmake --build build # Use "-j N" for N parallel jobs.
|
|
ctest --test-dir build # Use "-j N" for N parallel tests. Some tests are disabled if Python 3 is not available.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Resource limits
|
|
|
|
If the build runs into out-of-memory errors, the instructions in this section
|
|
might help.
|
|
|
|
The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:
|
|
```bash
|
|
data(kbytes) 1572864
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is, unfortunately, in some cases not enough to compile some `.cpp` files in the project,
|
|
(see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)).
|
|
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with:
|
|
```bash
|
|
ulimit -d 3000000
|
|
```
|
|
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To
|
|
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in
|
|
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot.
