Linux Autotools Build
The libbitcoin-network library can be build either dynamic or static.
GCC and Clang are officially supported. The following steps assume you have either of these installed.
To build, follow these steps:
Install the required dependencies
sudo apt-get install git build-essential autoconf automake libtool pkg-config
{CPU flag could be determined in order to enable hash function optimizations, more information about this will be added to the docs later}
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-network.git
Execute the install script
Navigate to the cloned repository and then execute the install script.
./install.sh --help will display all the options.
It can be either a dynamic build or a static build:
Change the
build-dirandprefixlocation if desired and use the desired parameters.
Dynamic
Build with the default options and dynamic linking:
./install.sh --build-dir=/home/user/libbitcoin-network/ --enable-isystem --prefix=/home/user/libbitcoin-network/prefix --disable-static --disable-ndebug --build-boost --build-secp256k1
Static
Build with static linking and ICU support:
./install.sh --build-dir=/home/user/libbitcoin-network/ --enable-isystem --prefix=/home/user/libbitcoin-network/prefix --disable-shared --enable-ndebug --build-boost --build-icu --with-icu --build-secp256k1
The library, and dependent libraries will now be build in the specified directory.
