Building

Quick Setup

The setup script detects your OS, installs all build dependencies, and validates your environment:

./setup.sh              # Install core build deps (interactive)
./setup.sh --check      # Just report what's missing
./setup.sh --all        # Core + Windows/macOS cross-compile + Sapling params
./setup.sh --win        # Also install mingw-w64 + libsodium-win

Manual Prerequisites

Click to expand manual install commands

Linux (Ubuntu/Debian):

sudo apt install build-essential cmake git pkg-config
sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxcursor-dev libxrandr-dev libxinerama-dev libxi-dev
sudo apt install libsodium-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev

Linux (Arch):

sudo pacman -S base-devel cmake git pkg-config mesa libx11 libxcursor libxrandr libxinerama libxi libsodium curl

macOS:

xcode-select --install
brew install cmake

Windows:

  • Visual Studio 2019+ with C++ workload
  • CMake 3.20+

Binaries

Download linux and windows binaries of latest releases and place in binary directories:

DragonX daemon (https://git.dragonx.is/DragonX/dragonx):

  • prebuilt-binaries/dragonxd-linux/
  • prebuilt-binaries/dragonxd-win/
  • prebuilt-binaries/dragonxd-mac/

xmrig HAC fork (https://git.dragonx.is/dragonx/xmrig-hac):

  • prebuilt-binaries/xmrig-hac/

Build Steps

### Clone repository (if not already)
git clone https://git.dragonx.is/dragonx/ObsidianDragon.git
cd ObsidianDragon/

Windows Build

./build.sh --win-release

Release Build

./build.sh --linux-release    # Linux release + AppImage
./build.sh --win-release      # Windows cross-compile
./build.sh --mac-release      # macOS .app bundle + DMG
./build.sh --clean --linux-release  # Clean + Release

Running

  1. Start dragonxd (if not using embedded daemon):

    dragonxd -daemon
    
  2. Run the wallet:

    cd build/bin
    ./ObsidianDragon
    

The wallet will automatically connect to the daemon using credentials from ~/.hush/DRAGONX/DRAGONX.conf.

Using Custom Node Binaries

The wallet checks its own directory first when looking for DragonX node binaries. This means you can test new or different branch builds of hush-arrakis-chain/hushd without waiting for a new wallet release:

  1. Build or download the node binaries you want to test
  2. Place them in the same directory as the wallet executable (e.g. build/bin/)
  3. Launch the wallet — it will use the local binaries instead of the bundled ones

Search order:

  1. Wallet executable directory (highest priority)
  2. Embedded/extracted daemon (app data directory)
  3. System-wide locations (/usr/local/bin, ~/dragonx/src, etc.)

This is useful for testing new branches or hotfixes to the node software before they are bundled into a wallet release.

Configuration

Configuration is stored in ~/.hush/DRAGONX/DRAGONX.conf:

rpcuser=your_rpc_user
rpcpassword=your_rpc_password
rpcport=21769
