Required source

Required build tools

  • (macOS) XCode >= 7.3
  • (Windows) Visual Studio 2015
  • (Windows) NSIS package builder
  • (*nix) Clang >= 3.5 or GCC >= 5
  • CMake

Build Boost

Option 1

  • Inside raiblocks directory
  • Run sh ci/bootstrap_boost.sh
  • This will build Boost at /usr/local/boost/
  • That's it!

Option 2

  • Inside [boost.src]
  • Run ./bootstrap.sh
  • Run ./b2 --prefix=[boost] --build-dir=[boost.build] link=static install
  • (Windows) An additional b2 option address-model=64 for x64 builds

Building Qt

  • In [qt.build] execute [qt.src]/configure -shared -opensource -nomake examples -nomake tests -confirm-license -prefix [qt]
  • make
  • make install
  • (Windows) Use nmake instead of make.

CMake variables (cmake -DVARNAME=VARVALUE).

  • BOOST_ROOT [boost] (/usr/local/boost/ if bootstrapped)
  • CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release (default)
  • ACTIVE_NETWORK rai_live_network (default)
  • Qt5_DIR [qt]lib/cmake/Qt5 (to build GUI wallet)
  • RAIBLOCKS_GUI ON (to build GUI wallet)
  • ENABLE_AVX2 ON, optional PERMUTE_WITH_GATHER ON, optional PERMUTE_WITH_SHUFFLES ON (for CPU with AXV2 support, choose fastest method for your CPU with https://github.com/sneves/blake2-avx2/)
  • CRYPTOPP_CUSTOM ON (more conservative building of Crypto++ for wider range of systems)
  • BOOST_CUSTOM ON (use bundled FindBoost.cmake for boost 1.66 on Windows commit 8fd47b20dca0c9fc82c5c4d240432503d6fb11a4+)

Build RaiBlocks

  • git submodule update --init --recursive
  • Generate with cmake then build with your compiler
  • (*nix) to build node without GUI execute: make rai_node
  • (*nix) to build wallet with GUI execute: make nano_wallet

Building a package

  • (macOS) cpack -G "DragNDrop"
  • (Windows) cpack -G "NSIS"
  • (*nix) cpack -G "TBZ2"

Testing RaiBlocks

  • In order to run the tests, the corresponding CMake variable must be set: -D RAIBLOCKS_TEST=ON.
  • With this variable set, make will also build test files, and will produce core_test and slow_test binaries, which can be executed like ./core_test.
  • To run a node on the test network, set CMake variable: -DACTIVE_NETWORK=rai_test_network
