### Usage
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
To build for another arch/OS:
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
For example:
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
A prefix will be generated that's suitable for plugging into Bitcoin's
configure. In the above example, a dir named x86_64-w64-mingw32 will be
created. To use it for Bitcoin:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32
Common `host-platform-triplets` for cross compilation are:
- `i686-w64-mingw32` for Win32
- `x86_64-w64-mingw32` for Win64
- `x86_64-apple-darwin11` for MacOSX
- `arm-linux-gnueabihf` for Linux ARM 32 bit
- `aarch64-linux-gnu` for Linux ARM 64 bit
No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
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 sdk's can be found (used by OSX)
FALLBACK_DOWNLOAD_PATH: If a source file can't be fetched, try here before giving up
NO_QT: Don't download/build/cache qt and its dependencies
NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
NO_UPNP: Don't download/build/cache packages needed for enabling upnp
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
If some packages are not built, for example `make NO_WALLET=1`, the appropriate
options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, `--disable-wallet`.
Additional targets:
download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for osx builds
download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds
#Darwin (macos) builds:
To build with the x86_64-apple-darwin11 you require the mac os developer tools in MacOSX10.11.sdk.
Download it from apple, or search for it on github. Create a new directoty called SDKs in this
directory and place the entire MacOSX10.11.sdk folder in it. The depends build will then pick it up automatically
(without requiring SDK_PATH).
