Build Configuration Options

### UPnP port forwarding
To use UPnP for port forwarding behind a NAT router (recommended, as more connections overall allow for a faster and more stable bitcoin experience), pass the following argument to qmake:
UPnP support is compiled in when possible and turned off by default. See the
configure options for upnp behavior desired:
qmake "USE_UPNP=1"
(in **Qt Creator**, you can find the setting for additional qmake arguments under "Projects" -> "Build Settings" -> "Build Steps", then click "Details" next to **qmake**)
This requires miniupnpc for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from [here](
http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). UPnP support is not compiled in by default.
Set USE_UPNP to a different value to control this:
USE_UPNP=- no UPnP support, miniupnpc not required;
USE_UPNP=0 (the default) built with UPnP, support turned off by default at runtime;
USE_UPNP=1 build with UPnP support turned on by default at runtime.

--disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
