15 See readme-qt.rst for instructions on building Bitcoin QT, the
16 graphical user interface.
18 Tested on 10.5 and 10.6 intel. PPC is not supported because it's big-endian.
20 All of the commands should be executed in Terminal.app.. it's in
21 /Applications/Utilities
23 You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler and
24 everything is available in /usr not just /Developer I think it comes on the DVD
25 but you can get the current version from http://developer.apple.com
28 1. Clone the github tree to get the source code:
30 git clone git@github.com:bitcoin/bitcoin.git bitcoin
32 2. Download and install MacPorts from http://www.macports.org/
35 Edit /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and uncomment "build_arch i386"
37 3. Install dependencies from MacPorts
39 sudo port install boost db48 openssl miniupnpc
41 Optionally install qrencode (and set USE_QRCODE=1):
42 sudo port install qrencode
44 4. Now you should be able to build bitcoind:
50 ./bitcoind --help # for a list of command-line options.
52 ./bitcoind -daemon # to start the bitcoin daemon.
54 ./bitcoind help # When the daemon is running, to get a list of RPC commands
