doc: remove readme-qt.md
Now that autotools is used as a build system there is nothing special about building the GUI anymore. Merge the salvageable parts into build-unix.md

Dependencies for the GUI: Ubuntu & Debian
|
||||||
|
-----------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you want to build Bitcoin-Qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
|
||||||
|
are installed. Either Qt 4 or Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To build with Qt 4 you need the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For Qt 5 you need the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5 libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
apt-get install libqrencode-dev
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a bitcoin-qt executable will be
|
||||||
|
built by default.

Bitcoin-Qt Readme
|
|
||||||
===============================
|
|
||||||
Contains build and configuration instructions for Bitcoin-Qt (Qt4 GUI for Bitcoin).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build Instructions
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Debian
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First, make sure that the required packages for Qt4 development of your
|
|
||||||
distribution are installed, these are
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
for Debian and Ubuntu <= 11.10 :
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
|
|
||||||
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
|
|
||||||
libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
for Ubuntu >= 12.04 (please read the 'Berkely DB version warning' below):
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt4-qmake libqt4-dev build-essential libboost-dev libboost-system-dev \
|
|
||||||
libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-thread-dev \
|
|
||||||
libssl-dev libdb++-dev libminiupnpc-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
For Qt 5 you need the following, otherwise you get an error with lrelease when running qmake:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
apt-get install qt5-qmake libqt5gui5 libqt5core5 libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev-tools
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and bitcoin-qt will be
|
|
||||||
built by default.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Mac OS X
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Download and install the [Qt Mac OS X SDK](https://qt-project.org/downloads). It is recommended to also install Apple's Xcode with UNIX tools.
|
|
||||||
* Download and install either [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) or [HomeBrew](http://mxcl.github.io/homebrew/).
|
|
||||||
* Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using MacPorts
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo port selfupdate
|
|
||||||
sudo port install boost db48 miniupnpc protobuf-cpp
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
* Execute the following commands in a terminal to get the dependencies using HomeBrew:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
brew update
|
|
||||||
brew install boost miniupnpc openssl berkeley-db4 protobuf
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Build Configuration Options
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### UPnP port forwarding
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
UPnP support is compiled in when possible and turned off by default. See the
|
|
||||||
configure options for upnp behavior desired:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
--with-miniupnpc No UPnP support miniupnp not required
|
|
||||||
--disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
|
|
||||||
--enable-upnp-default UPnP support turned on by default at runtime
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Notification support for recent (k)ubuntu versions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
DBUS support is enabled by default if dependencies are met.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the --with-qtdbus configure option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Generation of QR codes
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[libqrencode](http://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/) may be used to generate QRCode images for payment requests.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
QR code support is enabled by default if dependencies are met.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
See the --with-qrencode configure option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Warnings
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Berkely DB Version Warning
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A warning for people using the *static binary* version of Bitcoin on a Linux/UNIX-ish system (tl;dr: **Berkely DB databases are not forward compatible**).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The static binary version of Bitcoin is linked against libdb4.8 (see also [this Debian issue](http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=621425)).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Now the nasty thing is that databases from 5.X are not compatible with 4.X.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the globally installed development package of Berkely DB installed on your system is 5.X, any source you build yourself will be linked against that. The first time you run with a 5.X version the database will be upgraded, and 4.X cannot open the new format. This means that you cannot go back to the old statically linked version without significant hassle!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Ubuntu 11.10 Warning
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Ubuntu 11.10 has a package called 'qt-at-spi' installed by default. At the time of writing, having that package installed causes bitcoin-qt to crash intermittently. The issue has been reported as [launchpad bug 857790](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-at-spi/+bug/857790), but
|
|
||||||
isn't yet fixed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Until the bug is fixed, you can remove the qt-at-spi package to work around the problem, though this will presumably disable screen reader functionality for Qt apps:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
