Building on FreeBSD
NOTE: This documentation is outdated and needs to be updated
(Updated as of FreeBSD 11.0)
Clang is installed by default as cc compiler, this makes it easier to get
started than on OpenBSD. Installing dependencies:
pkg install autoconf automake libtool pkgconf
pkg install boost-libs openssl libevent
pkg install gmake
You need to use GNU make (gmake) instead of make.
(libressl instead of openssl will also work)
For the wallet (optional):
pkg install db5
This will give a warning "configure: WARNING: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8; wallets opened by this build will not be portable!", but as FreeBSD never had a binary release, this may not matter. If backwards compatibility with 4.8-built Dogecoin Core is needed follow the steps under "Berkeley DB" above.
Then build using:
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-incompatible-bdb BDB_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include/db5" BDB_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -ldb_cxx-5"
gmake
Note on debugging: The version of gdb installed by default is ancient and considered harmful.
It is not suitable for debugging a multi-threaded C++ program, not even for getting backtraces. Please install the package gdb and
use the versioned gdb command e.g. gdb7111.
