Build Optimization

The CMake build system will, by default, create optimized native builds for your particular system type when you build the software. Using this method, the binaries created provide a better experience and all-together faster performance.

Making Portable Binaries

However, if you wish to create portable binaries that can be shared between systems, specify -DARCH=default in your CMake arguments during the build process. Note that portable binaries will have a noticable difference in performance than native binaries. For this reason, it is always best to build for your particular system if possible.

Linux

Linux Dependencies

Note: Individual names for these packages may differ depending on your Linux distribution.

• Boost
• OpenSSL
• Cmake (3.8, higher)
• GNU Make
• Git
• GCC 7, higher or CLANG 6, higher

Ubuntu 18.04 with GCC

• sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y libboost-all-dev libssl-dev gcc-8 g++-8 cmake
• export CC=gcc-8 && export CXX=g++-8
• git clone https://github.com/Kulteam/MONCoin.git
• cd MONCoin && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

The binaries will be in the src folder when you are complete.

Install MONCoin on your computer

• sudo cp src/{MONCoind,miner,mon-service,MONwallet,wallet-api} /usr/bin

Check version

• MONCoind --version

Check help

• MONCoin --help

Windows

Windows Dependencies

You can build for 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. If you're not sure, pick 64-bit.

• Download the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 Installer
• When it opens up select C++ build tools, it automatically selects the needed parts. Make sure MSVC v141 Build Tools is selected.
• Install Boost. Select the appropriate version for your system:
  • Boost 64-bit
  • Boost 32-bit
• Install the latest full LTS version of OpenSSL (currently OpenSSL 1.1.1f). Select the appropriate version for your system:
  • Win32/Win64 OpenSSL
  • OpenSSL 32bit
  • OpenSSL 64bit

Windows with VS2019

For 64-bit:

• From the start menu, open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.
• cd <your_MONCoin_directory>
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 .. -DBOOST_ROOT=C:/local/boost_1_69_0
• MSBuild MONCoin.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:PlatformToolset=v141 /m or MSBuild src\cli.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:PlatformToolset=v141 /m

For 32-bit:

• From the start menu, open x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019.
• cd <your_MONCoin_directory>
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 .. -DBOOST_ROOT=C:/local/boost_1_69_0
• MSBuild MONCoin.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=Win32 /p:PlatformToolset=v141 /m

The binaries will be in the src/Release folder when you are complete.

• cd src
• cd Release
• MONCoind.exe --version
