Pull request description:

  This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.

  See #11921, #11868.

  I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).

  This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.

  ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~

  ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4

  Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.

  Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.

  ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4

  Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.

  Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.

  ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh

  Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

  Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently more than 100 GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

OS X

Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.
