Mac OS X bitcoind build instructions
Laszlo Hanyecz <solar@heliacal.net>
Douglas Huff <dhuff@jrbobdobbs.org>


See readme-qt.rst for instructions on building Bitcoin QT, the
graphical user interface.

Tested on 10.5 and 10.6 intel.  PPC is not supported because it's big-endian.

All of the commands should be executed in Terminal.app.. it's in
/Applications/Utilities

You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler and
everything is available in /usr not just /Developer I think it comes on the DVD
but you can get the current version from http://developer.apple.com


1.  Pick a directory to work inside.. something like ~/bitcoin works.  The
structure I use looks like this:

(~ is your home directory)

~/bitcoin
~/bitcoin/bitcoin       # Upstream source tree
~/bitcoin/src           # source code (symlink to ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/src)
~/bitcoin/deps          # dependencies.. like libraries and headers needed to compile

Just execute: mkdir ~/bitcoin
This will create the top dir for you..

WARNING: do not use the ~ notation with the configure scripts.. use the full
name of the directory, for example /Users/james/bitcoin/deps for a user named
'james'.  In my examples I am using 'macosuser' so make sure you change that.

2.  Check out the bitcoin code from github:

cd ~/bitcoin
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
ln -s bitcoin/src src

This will make ~/bitcoin/bitcoin for you with all the files from git. This puts
the actual sources in ~/bitcoin/bitcoin/src and create a symlink src in
~/bitcoin to this location.

3.  Get and build the dependencies


Boost
-----

Download from http://www.boost.org/users/download/
I'm assuming it ended up in ~/Downloads..

mkdir ~/bitcoin/deps
cd ~/bitcoin/deps
tar xvjf ~/Downloads/boost_1_42_0.tar.bz2
cd boost_1_42_0
./bootstrap.sh
./bjam architecture=combined address-model=32_64 macosx-version=10.5 macosx-version-min=10.5 link=static runtime-link=static --toolset=darwin --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps install

If you're using Snow Leopard, you will need to specify 10.6 as your Mac OS X
version instead of 10.5.

This part takes a while.. use your judgement and fix it if something doesn't
build for some reason.

Change the prefix to whatever your directory is (my username in this example
is macosuser).  I'm also running on 10.6 so i have macosx-version=10.6  change
to 10.5 if you're using leopard.

This is what my output looked like at the end:
...failed updating 2 targets...
...skipped 144 targets...
...updated 8074 targets...


OpenSSL
-------

(System or MacPorts openssl will work fine. Optional.)

Download from http://www.openssl.org/source/

We would like to build this as a 32 bit/64 bit library so we actually build it
2 times and join it together here..  If you downloaded with safari it already
uncompressed it so it will just be a tar not a tar.gz

cd ~/bitcoin/deps
tar xvf ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.0.tar
mv openssl-1.0.0 openssl-1.0.0-i386
tar xvf ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.0.tar
mv openssl-1.0.0 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64
# build i386 (32 bit intel) binary
cd openssl-1.0.0-i386
./Configure --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps --openssldir=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps/openssl darwin-i386-cc && make
make install # only do this on one of the architectures, to install the headers
cd ..
# build x86_64 (64 bit intel) binary
cd openssl-1.0.0-x86_64
./Configure --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps --openssldir=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps/openssl darwin64-x86_64-cc && make
cd ..

# combine the libs
cd ~/bitcoin/deps
lipo -arch i386 openssl-1.0.0-i386/libcrypto.a -arch x86_64 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64/libcrypto.a -o lib/libcrypto.a -create
lipo -arch i386 openssl-1.0.0-i386/libssl.a -arch x86_64 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64/libssl.a -o lib/libssl.a -create

Verify your binaries

file lib/libcrypto.a

output should look like this:

lib/libcrypto.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
lib/libcrypto.a (for architecture i386):  current ar archive random library
lib/libcrypto.a (for architecture x86_64):  current ar archive random library


miniupnpc
---------

(MacPorts miniupnpc package works fine. You will need to modify makefile.)

The process for miniupnpc (optional) is similar to that of OpenSSL.

Download from http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/.

cd ~/bitcoin/deps
tar xvf ~/Downloads/miniupnpc-1.6.tar
mv miniupnpc-1.6 miniupnpc-1.6-x86_64
tar xvf ~/Downloads/miniupnpc-1.6.tar
mv miniupnpc-1.6 miniupnpc-1.6-i386
# build x86_64 (64 bit intel) binary
cd miniupnpc-1.6-x86_64
export CFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
export LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
export PREFIX="/Users/macuser/bitcoin/deps"
make && make install
# build i386 (32 bit intel) binary
cd miniupnpc-1.6-i386
export CFLAGS="-arch i386"
export LDFLAGS="-arch i386"
export PREFIX="/Users/macuser/bitcoin/deps"
make

# combine the libs
cd ~/bitcoin/deps
lipo -arch i386 miniupnpc-1.6-i386/libminiupnpc.a -arch x86_64 miniupnpc-1.6-x86_64/libminiupnpc.a -o lib/libminiupnpc.a -create

Verify your binaries

file lib/libminiupnpc.a

output should look like this:

lib/libminiupnpc.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
lib/libminiupnpc.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive random library
lib/libminiupnpc.a (for architecture x86_64): current ar archive random library


Berkeley DB
-----------

(System or MacPorts version work fine.)

Download from http://freshmeat.net/projects/berkeleydb/

cd ~/bitcoin/deps
tar xvf ~/Downloads/db-4.8.30.tar
cd db-4.8.30/build_unix
../dist/configure --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps --enable-cxx && make && make install


Now you should be able to build bitcoind:

cd ~/bitcoin/src
make -f makefile.osx bitcoind
