macOS CMake Build
The libbitcoin-system library can be build either dynamic or static.
Clang compiler is officially supported. The following steps assume you have it installed.
To build, follow these steps:
Install the required dependencies
brew install autoconf automake libtool icu4c
{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-system.git
Execute the install script
Navigate to the cloned repository and then execute the install script.
./install-cmake.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-cmake.sh --build-dir=/Users/libbitcoin-system/ --prefix=/Users/libbitcoin-system/prefix --disable-static --enable-ndebug -Denable-ndebug=yes --build-boost --build-secp256k1
Static
Build with static linking:
./install-cmake.sh --build-dir=/Users/libbitcoin-system/ --prefix=/Users/libbitcoin-system/prefix --disable-shared --enable-ndebug -Denable-ndebug=yes --build-boost --build-secp256k1
The library, and dependent libraries will now be build in the specified directory.
