Some notes on how to build Bitcoin Core in Unix.

----------------------------------------------
Build requirements:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config libssl-dev libevent-dev
For Ubuntu 12.04 and later or Debian 7 and later libboost-all-dev has to be installed:
On Ubuntu 15.10+ there are generic names for the individual boost development
packages, so the following can be used to only install necessary parts of
boost:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
apt-get install libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-base-dev
db4.8 packages are available [here](https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin).
You can add the repository using the following command:
For Ubuntu before 15.10, or Debian 7 and later libboost-all-dev has to be installed:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
BerkeleyDB is required for the wallet. db4.8 packages are available [here](https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin).
You can add the repository and install using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
Ubuntu 12.04 and later have packages for libdb5.1-dev and libdb5.1++-dev,
but using these will break binary wallet compatibility, and is not recommended.
Ubuntu and Debian have their own libdb-dev and libdb++-dev packages, but these will install
BerkeleyDB 5.1 or later, which break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables which
are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
For other Debian & Ubuntu (with ppa):
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
See the section "Disable-wallet mode" to build Bitcoin Core without wallet.
Optional:
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev (see --with-miniupnpc and --enable-upnp-default)
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev (see --with-miniupnpc and --enable-upnp-default)
ZMQ dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev (provides ZMQ API 4.x)
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 are necessary to build the GUI.
are installed. Either Qt 5 or Qt 4 are necessary to build the GUI.
If both Qt 4 and Qt 5 are installed, Qt 4 will be used. Pass `--with-gui=qt5` to configure to choose Qt5.
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
To build with Qt 4 you need the following:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
For Qt 5 you need the following:
To build with Qt 5 (recommended) you need the following:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
Alternatively, to build with Qt 4 you need the following:
sudo apt-get install libqt4-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
