@HeroicHitesh Hmm, your build environment looks a bit weird, considering the BITROCK_COMMON_ROOTDIR variable from your log.

make works just fine on macOS, please recheck your user environment for any custom changes/environment variables that are preventing you from building.

Hi @hebasto @jarolrod thanks for the response. I am still confused as to where to look to fix the error. I am getting following output for ./configure --without-wallet --with-gui=no command

Also, while running make command for the first time I got a lot of warnings like this I am not sure if they caused the issue or not, so just sharing for the reference

Kindly let me know if there’s any other setting or file where I can look for to fix this issue.

To silence them, add –enable-suppress-external-warnings to your configure invocation.

fanquake commented at 8:12 am on August 15, 2022: member

It’s not exactly clear what the problem is here, however it’s certainly a local issue. Feel free to reopen if you can recreate the issue in a clean environment. The BITROCK_COMMON_ROOTDIR problem is nothing to with Bitcoin Core or it’s build instructions.

Thanks @hebasto for the tip, it helped a lot.

Ok @fanquake I actually thought BITROCK_COMMON_ROOTDIR issue was something related to Bitcoin Core, since this is the first time I faced it. But after your comment, I did some online search, and thankfully was able to fix it by following this comment.

Thanks a lot for the support everyone.
