When trying to compile Bitcoin Core with legacy wallet on OpenBSD 7.2 stable running on RPI3, the process fails while running
install_db4.sh script
checking for getopt optreset variable... yes checking for mutexes... UNIX/fcntl configure: WARNING: NO SHARED LATCH IMPLEMENTATION FOUND FOR THIS PLATFORM. configure: error: Unable to find a mutex implementation
The install_db4.sh script looks like it may be removed in the near future, see #26772 (comment) and particularly #26834 that also describes a workaround in its description that might resolve your issue.
Other potential workarounds might be:
--with-incompatible-bdb flag in your configure to use more recent versions of BDBbrew install berkeley-db@4 to install BDB 4.8.30 on macOS (for any macOS users reading this)
configure: WARNING: NO SHARED LATCH IMPLEMENTATION FOUND FOR THIS PLATFORM.
You can likely workaround this using: CFLAGS=-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration ./install_db4.sh.
configure: WARNING: NO SHARED LATCH IMPLEMENTATION FOUND FOR THIS PLATFORM.
You can likely workaround this using:
CFLAGS=-Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration ./install_db4.sh.
thank you, unfortunately it does not help

- pass the

i was not able to go even with newer db4 version. I don't think I can go with descriptor wallet, as Electrum Personal Server does not support it
thank you, unfortunately it does not help
In that case, you'll have to provide the config.log that contains the details of what is failing.
Hello, sorry for delay with this one, I was out for few days. Attaching the config.log config.log

doesn't work? Passing -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration will prevent the configure check from failing as it is in your log.

well, hopefully I'm not doing it incorrectly. Just run again with these flags having same error. In the config.log I see some errors around it. Attaching config.log
@m-kubik were you compiling the master branch? We have since removed this script, in favour of using depends. You can see the updated OpenBSD build instructions here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-openbsd.md.
@m-kubik were you able to get this working with depends? If so I think we can probably close this issue.
Closing for now. Let us know if this is still an issue and should be reopened.
