e09773d20a9230ba7aa2cbb7e87fdc5187ddfec6 build: use a static .tiff for macOS .dmg over generating (fanquake) Pull request description: For demonstration, after [discussion in #23778](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23778#issuecomment-1003005503), and the question as to why we can't just have a `background.tiff` that we copy into the macOS DMG, and do away with the somewhat convoluted image generation steps. From my understanding, the only reason we have this image generation as part of our build system is so that forks of Core can adapt the imagery for their own branding via `PACKAGE_NAME`. It don't think it provides much value to us, and could just have a static .tiff that we copy into the dmg (replacing the .svg that currently lives in macdeploy/). Doing this would eliminate the following build dependencies: For native macOS: * `sed` (usage in Makefile.am) * `librsvg` (rsvg-convert) * `tiffutil` Linux macOS cross-compile: * `sed` (usage in Makefille.am) * `librsvg` * `tiffcp` * `convert` (imagemagick) * `font-tuffy` Guix Build: ```bash bash-5.1# find guix-build-$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)/output/ -type f -print0 | env LC_ALL=C sort -z | xargs -r0 sha256sum c98d67796863f4b1bab0ad600d46bd74e744d94072cbd4bc856a6aeaba3bb329 guix-build-e09773d20a92/output/dist-archive/bitcoin-e09773d20a92.tar.gz 3336f90bab312798cb7665e2b4ae24d1a270fb240647d5fed8dbfcd83e3ed37e guix-build-e09773d20a92/output/x86_64-apple-darwin/SHA256SUMS.part 8fd680c7ee158c64bad212385df7b0b302c6c2143d4e672b4b0eb5da41f9256d guix-build-e09773d20a92/output/x86_64-apple-darwin/bitcoin-e09773d20a92-osx-unsigned.dmg 34f54177c2f0700e8cfaf5d85d91e404807cd9d411e22006cdff82653e5f4af2 guix-build-e09773d20a92/output/x86_64-apple-darwin/bitcoin-e09773d20a92-osx-unsigned.tar.gz da6b8f54ef755d40330c8eac4f5bd0329637e827be9ee61318600d5d0bdcc3dc guix-build-e09773d20a92/output/x86_64-apple-darwin/bitcoin-e09773d20a92-osx64.tar.gz ```  ACKs for top commit: hebasto: ACK e09773d20a9230ba7aa2cbb7e87fdc5187ddfec6 jarolrod: ACK e09773d20a9230ba7aa2cbb7e87fdc5187ddfec6 Zero-1729: ACK e09773d20a9230ba7aa2cbb7e87fdc5187ddfec6 Tree-SHA512: 0ad06699a5451daa8cfaaa46759eb7bd85254a72e23f857f70d433a2ffb1a4bf6dd464d9c4ac9f8c20aab045f4e2b61c6dcdcbcceef96ce515b1a0c501665b1f
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 requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. 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 Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
