PATH variable containing spaces cause build failure Spaces in PATH variable is creating build issues (observed on macOS). For example "VMware Fusion" adds itself to PATH like `/Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public`.
Usage
To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
To build for another arch/OS:
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
For example:
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
A prefix will be generated that's suitable for plugging into Bitcoin's configure. In the above example, a dir named x86_64-w64-mingw32 will be created. To use it for Bitcoin:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32
Common host-platform-triplets for cross compilation are:
i686-w64-mingw32for Win32x86_64-w64-mingw32for Win64x86_64-apple-darwin11for MacOSXarm-linux-gnueabihffor Linux ARM
No other options are needed, the paths are automatically configured.
Dependency Options: The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar
SOURCES_PATH: downloaded sources will be placed here
BASE_CACHE: built packages will be placed here
SDK_PATH: Path where sdk's can be found (used by OSX)
PRIORITY_DOWNLOAD_PATH: Try fetching source files from here before using their own URLs
NO_WALLET: Don't download/build/cache libs needed to enable the wallet
DEBUG: disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checking
If some packages are not built, for example make NO_WALLET=1, the appropriate
options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, --disable-wallet.
Additional targets:
download: run 'make download' to fetch all sources without building them
download-osx: run 'make download-osx' to fetch all sources needed for osx builds
download-win: run 'make download-win' to fetch all sources needed for win builds
download-linux: run 'make download-linux' to fetch all sources needed for linux builds
