Using OpenBSD as a desktop OS is prevalent enough IMO to warrant updating the documentation for building the GUI.

Concept ACK

Thanks for keeping the OpenBSD documentation up to date!

Agree. This was only a matter of no one having ever tried it. Good to see it's actually so straightforward.

I think it's preferable to squash the commits, as they're changes to the same documentation file, no need to add the newline in a new commit.

It would be good if someone other than the author could test this and report. I don't have a OpenBSD machine with X11.

Thanks, as laanwj mentioned please squash your commits. I am also unable to test the GUI on OpenBSD.

Got some errors while running this command: https://pastebin.com/raw/3qvFa07m

Environment details:

OpenBSD 6.7 1 GB RAM 20 GB Virtual Disk

Followed most of the instructions mentioned in one article to setup OpenBSD VM.

It appears the error is due to running out of space in /usr/local/, so you may need to repartition or spin up an instance with more storage in general.

Yes I will have to figure out how to resolve this before trying to build bitcoin core.

If you want to try reinstalling OpenBSD, you could try manually partitioning only one partition instead. That way you'll have adequate space. https://nanxiao.me/en/create-only-root-partition-during-installing-openbsd/

This worked and I was able to add the required packages. However got some errors while running the gmake command:

I'm thinking you're running out of memory now. How much RAM have you allocated to the VM?

unknown commented at 3:41 AM on September 13, 2020:

Changing RAM from 1 GB to 3 GB partially resolved the issue. This time there was a different error after few minutes of compiling.

grubles commented at 7:02 PM on September 13, 2020:

Are you trying to build master? I've been building v0.20.1 successfully.

Try git checkout v0.20.1 in the cloned repo directory.

Then:

gmake clean gmake

The issue you're seeing is #19559. If you append CC_FOR_BUILD=cc to your ./configure command, everything should work ok. Note that if you're building master, we also just merged a update to the libsecp256k1 subtree, which contains a fix for this issue. So if you git pull and rebuild (after cleaning) it may also disappear. Or, as mentioned above, you can checkout and build a specific tag.

ACK d11020019a0c93dcc56859cdfcd9f0c6a777424f - looks fine. Have not tested.

Concept ACK -- this actually inspires me to setup an OpenBSD in a virtual machine ;)
fanquake commented at 4:04 AM on September 15, 2020: member

Going to go-ahead and merge this. @prayank23 Thanks for testing. If you have any further issues, let us know, however I think you should be fine now, as the last issue you were seeing should have resolved itself.
