(updated for NetBSD 7.0)

This guide describes how to build bitcoind and command-line utilities on NetBSD.

This guide does not contain instructions for building the GUI.

Preparation

You will need the following modules, which can be installed via pkgsrc or pkgin:

autoconf
automake
boost
db4
git
gmake
libevent
libtool
python27

Download the source code:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin

See dependencies.md for a complete overview.

Building Bitcoin Core

Important: Use gmake (the non-GNU make will exit with an error).

With wallet:

./autogen.sh
./configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" BOOST_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib"
gmake

Without wallet:

./autogen.sh
./configure --disable-wallet CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib" BOOST_CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/pkg/include" BOOST_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/pkg/lib"
gmake
