Install XCode and its command line tools
Instructions here: https://guide.macports.org/#installing.xcode.
In OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and newer, you will be prompted to install developer tools when running a devloper command in the terminal. This step may not be needed.
Install Homebrew
Instructions here: http://brew.sh/
Initialize Homebrew:
Install dependencies:
brew install cmake git openssl autoconf automake
brew link --force openssl
brew install bitshares/boost/boost@1.69
brew link --force --overwrite boost@1.69
(Optional) To support importing Bitcoin wallet files:
(Optional) To use TCMalloc in LevelDB:
brew install google-perftools
Clone the Bitshares repository:
git clone https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core.git
cd bitshares-core
Build BitShares:
git submodule update --init --recursive
cmake .
make
Note
As mentioned elsewhere, Bitshares depends on the third-party libraries “Boost” and “OpenSSL”. These libraries need to be in certain version ranges. At the moment, Boost needs to be between 1.58 and 1.74. OpenSSL needs to be in the 1.0.x - 1.1.x range.
To install the default version of boost:
To install an older version of boost from our own HomeBrew Tap:
brew install bitshares/boost/boost@1.69
You may have an older version of OpenSSL than is required. If so, have brew get the latest:
Compiling with these new versions: We must now tell cmake where these libraries are. Instead of the “cmake .” mentioned above, we use:
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/opt/boost@1.69 -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl .
and then proceed with the normal:
