1. Do not set `C{PLUS}_INCLUDE_PATH` variables The build system for Qt 6 differs entirely from that of Qt 5. Building a set of native Qt 6 tools now forms a separate step when cross-compiling. Under these new circumstances, the `C{PLUS}_INCLUDE_PATH` environment variables may alter the default include directories for both native and cross compilers. Previously, we explicitly unset these variables when invoking clang for cross-compiling; however, that approach proved suboptimal (see #30451). This change sets the native toolchain for dependencies explicitly, rather than relying on the `C{PLUS}_INCLUDE_PATH` environment variables. Additionally, it facilitates the transition towards using clang for building native tools when cross-compiling for macOS. 2. Add `ninja` package. 3. Adjust allowed symbol lists.
Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Additional tools, including the github-merge.py
script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py
script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging
The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.
All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify-Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
Command Line Tools
Completions
Shell completions for bash and fish.
UTXO Set Tools
UTXO-to-SQLite
This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset
)
to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the
module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help
output.
