You need to provide more information. Which dependencies did you update / upgrade (bdb)? Are you building the v0.20.1 tag, or the 0.20 branch? Which version of macOS are you building/running on? In fact, could you just supply all of the information that was asked for in the issue template.

I never had this kind of problem. And I am runninq bitcoind on my Mac since 2013, always with the datadir in an USB external HD.

The point is, it looks like “brew update”, or some other update in Xcode broke something.

It would be interesting to understand if someone else, in my analogous configuration, has the same problem or not.

Thanks, Isidoro

If you suspect your recent brew update to have caused this issue, try running brew list -lt. It prints a list of formulae and casks, including their modification date. Which formulae have been updated during last update and does reverting them (if they are even related to Bitcoin) helps?

SOLVED! (soon the details)

isghe commented at 8:23 pm on March 31, 2021: contributor

The problem was “Berkeley DB 4.8.30”. So I uninstalled it with:

0$ brew uninstall berkeley-db@4

and I followed the instructions in #19411 with @fanquake’s workaround:

0CFLAGS="-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration"  ./contrib/install_db4.sh .

so I configured bitcoin, with suggested in the output of ./contrib/install_db4.sh

0When compiling bitcoind, run `./configure` in the following way:
1
2  export BDB_PREFIX='/Users/isghe/development/cryptocoin/bitcoin/db4'
3  ./configure BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" ...

so, in my case:

0$ export BDB_PREFIX='/Users/isghe/development/cryptocoin/bitcoin/db4'
1$ ./configure BDB_LIBS="-L${BDB_PREFIX}/lib -ldb_cxx-4.8" BDB_CFLAGS="-I${BDB_PREFIX}/include" --without-gui --enable-debug

and now bitcoin is alive again ;-)

Thanks, Isidoro

however, just a clarification (very small detail): despite uninstalling “Berkeley DB 4.8.30” in “brew”, after configuration, it is shown in CPPFLAGS:

0-I/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db@4/include

but now, on my mac, I no longer have the /usr/local/opt/berkeley-db@4/ folder

So it’s a small bug on configurator

:-p

from my point of view, the problem is SOLVED. maybe we need to emphasize this solution in doc/build-osx.md Thanks, Isidoro
