This PR does not entirely remove the depends system [libmultiprocess package](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/packages/native_libmultiprocess.mk) because the package is useful when cross compiling. (A cross-compiling cmake build cannot easily build and run a native code generation tool.) However, it does update the depends package to build from the new git subtree, instead of being downloaded separately from github, so the same sources are used to build both the runtime library and the code generator. This PR includes the following manual changes (not created automatically with `git subtree add`) which just update the build system and documentation: - [`d6244f85c509` depends: Update libmultiprocess library to simplify cmake subtree build](d6244f85c5) - [`69f0d4adb72c` scripted-diff: s/WITH_MULTIPROCESS/ENABLE_IPC/ in cmake](69f0d4adb7) - [`d597ab1dee6b` cmake: Support building with libmultiprocess subtree](d597ab1dee) - [`8532fcb1c30d` cmake: Fix ctest mptest "Unable to find executable" errors](8532fcb1c3) - [`abdf3cb6456f` cmake: Fix warnings from boost headers](abdf3cb645) - [`d4bc5639829f` cmake: Fix clang-tidy "no input files" errors](d4bc563982) - [`e88ab394c163` doc: Update documentation to explain libmultiprocess subtree](e88ab394c1) - [`2d373e27071f` lint: Add exclusions for libmultiprocess subtree](2d373e2707) - [`9b35518d2f3f` depends, moveonly: split up int_get_build_id function](9b35518d2f) - [`5d105fb8c3ff` depends: Switch libmultiprocess packages to use local git subtree](5d105fb8c3) - [`babb9f5db641` depends: remove non-native libmultiprocess build](babb9f5db6) --- Previous minisketch subtree PR #23114 may be useful for comparison Instructions for subtree verification can be found: - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/developer-notes.md#subtrees - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/test/lint#git-subtree-checksh TL&DR: ```sh git remote add --fetch libmultiprocess https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess.git test/lint/git-subtree-check.sh -r src/ipc/libmultiprocess ``` --- This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28722).

This directory contains the source code for the Bitcoin Core graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the Qt cross-platform framework.
The current precise version for Qt is specified in qt_details.mk.
Compile and run
See build instructions: Unix, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
When following your systems build instructions, make sure to install the Qt dependencies.
To run:
./build/bin/bitcoin-qt
Files and Directories
forms/
- A directory that contains Designer UI files. These files specify the characteristics of form elements in XML. Qt UI files can be edited with Qt Creator or using any text editor.
locale/
- Contains translations. They are periodically updated and an effort is made to support as many languages as possible. The process of contributing translations is described in doc/translation_process.md.
res/
- Contains graphical resources used to enhance the UI experience.
test/
- Functional tests used to ensure proper functionality of the GUI. Significant changes to the GUI code normally require new or updated tests.
bitcoingui.(h/cpp)
- Represents the main window of the Bitcoin UI.
*model.(h/cpp)
- The model. When it has a corresponding controller, it generally inherits from QAbstractTableModel. Models that are used by controllers as helpers inherit from other Qt classes like QValidator.
- ClientModel is used by the main application
bitcoinguiand several models likepeertablemodel.
*page.(h/cpp)
- A controller.
:NAMEpage.cppgenerally includes:NAMEmodel.handforms/:NAME.page.uiwith a similar:NAME.
*dialog.(h/cpp)
- Various dialogs, e.g. to open a URL. Inherit from QDialog.
paymentserver.(h/cpp)
- (Deprecated) Used to process BIP21 payment URI requests. Also handles URI-based application switching (e.g. when following a bitcoin:... link from a browser).
walletview.(h/cpp)
- Represents the view to a single wallet.
Other .h/cpp files
- UI elements like BitcoinAmountField, which inherit from QWidget.

Using Qt Creator as an IDE
Qt Creator is a powerful tool which packages a UI designer tool (Qt Designer) and a C++ IDE into one application. This is especially useful if you want to change the UI layout.
Download Qt Creator
On Unix and macOS, Qt Creator can be installed through your package manager. Alternatively, you can download a binary from the Qt Website.
Note: If installing from a binary grabbed from the Qt Website: During the installation process, uncheck everything except for Qt Creator.
macOS
brew install qt-creator
Ubuntu & Debian
sudo apt-get install qtcreator
Setup Qt Creator
- Make sure you've installed all dependencies specified in your systems build instructions
- Follow the compile instructions for your system, adding the
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debugbuild flag - Start Qt Creator. At the start page, do:
New->Import Project->Import Existing Project - Enter
bitcoin-qtas the Project Name and enter the absolute path tosrc/qtas Location - Check over the file selection, you may need to select the
formsdirectory (necessary if you intend to edit *.ui files) - Confirm the
Summarypage - In the
Projectstab, selectManage Kits...
