# Depends build
This is a system of building and caching dependencies necessary for building
Bitcoin Core. It supports cross-compilation. For more details see [description.md](description.md),
as well as [packages.md](packages.md) for how to add packages.
## Usage
### Ubuntu & Debian
apt install cmake curl make patch
Skip the following packages if you don't intend to use the GUI and will build with [`NO_QT=1`](#dependency-options):
apt install bison g++ ninja-build pkgconf python3 xz-utils
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
### macOS
Install Xcode Command Line Tools and Homebrew Package Manager,
see [build-osx.md](../doc/build-osx.md).
brew install cmake make ninja
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
gmake
### FreeBSD
pkg install bash cmake curl gmake
Skip the following packages if you don't intend to use the GUI and will build with [`NO_QT=1`](#dependency-options):
pkg install bison ninja pkgconf python3
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
gmake
### NetBSD
pkgin install bash cmake curl gmake perl
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
gmake
### OpenBSD
pkg_add bash cmake curl gmake gtar
Skip the following packages if you don't intend to use the GUI and will build with [`NO_QT=1`](#dependency-options):
pkg_add bison ninja
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
gmake
### Alpine
apk add bash build-base cmake curl make patch
Skip the following packages if you don't intend to use the GUI and will build with [`NO_QT=1`](#dependency-options):
apk add bison linux-headers samurai pkgconf python3
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
## Configuring Bitcoin Core
**When configuring Bitcoin Core, CMake by default will ignore the depends output.** In
order for it to pick up libraries, tools, and settings from the depends build,
you must specify the toolchain file.
In the above example for Ubuntu, a file named `depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/toolchain.cmake` will be
created. To use it during configuring Bitcoin Core:
cmake -B build --toolchain depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/toolchain.cmake
## Dependency Options
The following can be set when running make: `make FOO=bar`
- `SOURCES_PATH`: Downloaded sources will be placed here
- `BASE_CACHE`: Built packages will be placed here
- `SDK_PATH`: Path where SDKs can be found (used by macOS)
- `FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH`: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
- `C_STANDARD`: Set the C standard version used. Defaults to `c11`.
- `CXX_STANDARD`: Set the C++ standard version used. Defaults to `c++20`.
- `NO_BOOST`: Don't download/build/cache Boost
- `NO_QT`: Don't download/build/cache Qt and its dependencies
- `NO_QR`: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling qrencode
- `NO_ZMQ`: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling ZeroMQ
- `NO_WALLET`: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet (SQLite)
- `NO_USDT`: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling USDT tracepoints
- `NO_IPC`: Don't build Capn Proto and libmultiprocess packages. Default on Windows.
- `DEBUG`: Disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
- `HOST_ID_SALT`: Optional salt to use when generating host package ids
- `BUILD_ID_SALT`: Optional salt to use when generating build package ids
- `LOG`: Use file-based logging for individual packages. During a package build its log file
resides in the `depends` directory, and the log file is printed out automatically in case
of build error. After successful build log files are moved along with package archives
- `LTO`: Enable options needed for LTO. Does not add `-flto` related options to *FLAGS.
If some packages are not built, for example `make NO_WALLET=1`, the appropriate CMake cache
variables will be set when generating the Bitcoin Core buildsystem. In this case, `-DENABLE_WALLET=OFF`.
## Compiler Configuration
`CC` and `CXX` control target compilers. `build_CC` and `build_CXX` control
compilers for native build tools (e.g. `native_capnp`, `native_qt`), which
default to `gcc`/`g++` on Linux and `clang`/`clang++` on macOS/FreeBSD/OpenBSD
(see `./depends/builders/*.mk`).
On a system where the default build compiler is not available (e.g. Linux
without gcc/g++), you could use the following to build all packages using clang:
make -C depends build_CC=clang build_CXX=clang++ CC=clang CXX=clang++
## Cross compilation
To build for another arch+OS:
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
For example:
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
Common `host-platform-triplet`s for cross compilation are:
- `i686-linux-gnu` for Linux x86 32-bit
- `x86_64-linux-gnu` for Linux x86 64-bit
- `x86_64-w64-mingw32` for Windows using MSVCRT
- `x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt` for Windows using UCRT
- `x86_64-apple-darwin` for Intel macOS
- `arm64-apple-darwin` for ARM macOS
- `arm-linux-gnueabihf` for Linux ARM 32-bit
- `aarch64-linux-gnu` for Linux ARM 64-bit
- `powerpc64-linux-gnu` for Linux POWER 64-bit (big endian)
- `powerpc64le-linux-gnu` for Linux POWER 64-bit (little endian)
- `riscv32-linux-gnu` for Linux RISC-V 32-bit
- `riscv64-linux-gnu` for Linux RISC-V 64-bit
- `s390x-linux-gnu` for Linux S390X
The paths are automatically configured and no other options are needed.
#### For macOS cross compilation
apt install clang lld llvm zip
Clang 18 or later is required. You must also obtain the macOS SDK before
proceeding with a cross-compile. Under the depends directory, create a
subdirectory named `SDKs`. Then, place the extracted SDK under this new directory.
For more information, see [SDK Extraction](../contrib/macdeploy/README.md#sdk-extraction).
#### For Windows cross compilation
Using MSVCRT:
apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix
Using UCRT:
apt install g++-mingw-w64-ucrt64
Some Ubuntu or Debian versions may not offer a working package. In this case,
you may install `nix-bin` and use the Nix shell from the repository root:
apt install nix-bin
NIX_BUILD_SHELL=bash HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 nix-shell contrib/devtools/shell-win64-cross.nix # MSVCRT
NIX_BUILD_SHELL=bash HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32ucrt nix-shell contrib/devtools/shell-win64-cross.nix # UCRT
#### For Linux cross compilation
Please note that package availability might depend on the arch+OS you are building on.
For Linux x86 32-bit cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-i686-linux-gnu binutils-i686-linux-gnu
For Linux x86 64-bit cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-x86-64-linux-gnu binutils-x86-64-linux-gnu
For Linux ARM 32-bit cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
For Linux ARM 64-bit cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
For Linux POWER 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):
sudo apt-get install g++-powerpc64-linux-gnu binutils-powerpc64-linux-gnu g++-powerpc64le-linux-gnu binutils-powerpc64le-linux-gnu
For Linux RISC-V 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):
sudo apt-get install g++-riscv64-linux-gnu binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu
For Linux S390X cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-s390x-linux-gnu binutils-s390x-linux-gnu
