Mac OS X build instructions Laszlo Hanyecz (solar@heliacal.net) Tested on 10.5 and 10.6 intel. PPC is not supported because it's big-endian. All of the commands should be executed in Terminal.app.. it's in /Applications/Utilities You need to install XCode with all the options checked so that the compiler and everything is available in /usr not just /Developer I think it comes on the DVD but you can get the current version from http://developer.apple.com 1. Pick a directory to work inside.. something like ~/bitcoin works. The structure I use looks like this: (~ is your home directory) ~/bitcoin ~/bitcoin/trunk # source code ~/bitcoin/deps # dependencies.. like libraries and headers needed to compile ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app # the application bundle where you can run the app Just execute: mkdir ~/bitcoin This will create the top dir for you.. WARNING: do not use the ~ notation with the configure scripts.. use the full name of the directory, for example /Users/james/bitcoin/deps for a user named 'james'. In my examples I am using 'macosuser' so make sure you change that. 2. Check out the trunk version of the bitcoin code from subversion: cd ~/bitcoin svn checkout https://bitcoin.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitcoin/trunk This will make ~/bitcoin/trunk for you with all the files from subversion. 3. Get and build the dependencies Boost ----- Download from http://www.boost.org/users/download/ I'm assuming it ended up in ~/Downloads.. mkdir ~/bitcoin/deps cd ~/bitcoin/deps tar xvjf ~/Downloads/boost_1_42_0.tar.bz2 cd boost_1_42_0 ./bootstrap.sh ./bjam architecture=combined address-model=32_64 macosx-version=10.6 macosx-version-min=10.5 link=static runtime-link=static --toolset=darwin --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps install This part takes a while.. use your judgement and fix it if something doesn't build for some reason. Change the prefix to whatever your directory is (my username in this example is macosuser). I'm also running on 10.6 so i have macosx-version=10.6 change to 10.5 if you're using leopard. This is what my output looked like at the end: ...failed updating 2 targets... ...skipped 144 targets... ...updated 8074 targets... OpenSSL ------- Download from http://www.openssl.org/source/ We would like to build this as a 32 bit/64 bit library so we actually build it 2 times and join it together here.. If you downloaded with safari it already uncompressed it so it will just be a tar not a tar.gz cd ~/bitcoin/deps tar xvf ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.0.tar mv openssl-1.0.0 openssl-1.0.0-i386 tar xvf ~/Downloads/openssl-1.0.0.tar mv openssl-1.0.0 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64 # build i386 (32 bit intel) binary cd openssl-1.0.0-i386 ./Configure --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps --openssldir=/Users/macosuser/deps/openssl darwin-i386-cc && make make install # only do this on one of the architectures, to install the headers cd .. # build x86_64 (64 bit intel) binary cd openssl-1.0.0-x86_64 ./Configure --prefix=/Users/macosuser/bitcoin/deps --openssldir=/Users/macosuser/deps/openssl darwin64-x86_64-cc && make cd .. # combine the libs cd ~/bitcoin/deps lipo -arch i386 openssl-1.0.0-i386/libcrypto.a -arch x86_64 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64/libcrypto.a -o lib/libcrypto.a -create lipo -arch i386 openssl-1.0.0-i386/libssl.a -arch x86_64 openssl-1.0.0-x86_64/libssl.a -o lib/libssl.a -create Verify your binaries file lib/libcrypto.a output should look like this: lib/libcrypto.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures lib/libcrypto.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive random library lib/libcrypto.a (for architecture x86_64): current ar archive random library miniupnpc --------- The process for miniupnpc (optional) is similar to that of OpenSSL.

Check it out from svn cd ~/bitcoin/deps svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets-trunk This will make a wxWidgets-trunk directory in deps. Use this script snippet, change your prefix to whatever your dir is: PREFIX=~/bitcoin/deps SRCDIR="$PREFIX/wxWidgets-trunk" BUILDDIR="$SRCDIR/macbuild" cd "$PREFIX" && #svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets-trunk && cd "$SRCDIR" && [ -f include/wx/hashmap.h.orig ] || cp include/wx/hashmap.h include/wx/hashmap.h.orig && sed 's/if wxUSE_STL/if 0 \&\& wxUSE_STL/g' < include/wx/hashmap.h.orig > include/wx/hashmap.h && [ -f include/wx/hashset.h.orig ] || cp include/wx/hashset.h include/wx/hashset.h.orig && sed 's/if wxUSE_STL/if 0 \&\& wxUSE_STL/g' < include/wx/hashset.h.orig > include/wx/hashset.h && rm -vrf "$BUILDDIR" && mkdir "$BUILDDIR" && cd "$BUILDDIR" && ../configure --prefix="$PREFIX" \ --with-osx_cocoa \ --disable-shared \ --disable-debug_flag \ --with-macosx-version-min=10.5 \ --enable-stl \ --enable-utf8 \ --enable-universal_binary \ --with-libjpeg=builtin \ --with-libpng=builtin \ --with-regex=builtin \ --with-libtiff=builtin \ --with-zlib=builtin \ --with-expat=builtin \ --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk && find . -name Makefile | while read i; do echo $i; sed 's/-arch i386/-arch i386 -arch x86_64/g' < "$i" > "$i".new && mv "$i" "$i".old && mv "$i".new "$i"; done make && make install Now you should be able to build bitcoin cd ~/bitcoin/trunk make -f makefile.osx bitcoin Before you can run it, you need to create an application bundle for Mac OS. Create the directories in terminal using mkdir and copy the files into place. They are available at http://heliacal.net/~solar/bitcoin/mac-build/ You need the Info.plist and the .ins file. The Contents/MacOS/bitcoin file is the output of the build. Your directory structure should look like this: Bitcoin.app Bitcoin.app/Contents Bitcoin.app/Contents/Info.plist Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin Bitcoin.app/Contents/Resources Bitcoin.app/Contents/Resources/BitcoinAppIcon.icns To run it you can just click the Bitcoin.app in Finder, or just do open ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app If you want to run it with arguments you can just run it without backgrounding by specifying the full name in terminal: ~/bitcoin/Bitcoin.app/Contents/MacOS/bitcoin -addnode=192.75.207.66
