Not able to build and compile on macos

Hey there , I’m facing these issues. I ran these commands

./autogen.sh ./configure --disable-bench --disable-fuzz-binary --enable-debug --without-gui --enable-suppress-external-warnings make

Did you run make clean?

What is your operating system and architecture? Where did you get BDB from?

maflcko commented at 8:11 pm on December 14, 2023: member

Do you need BDB? If not, you can disable it with --without-bdb.

What is the ./configure script summary?

Can also try make distclean and then rebuild.

If that doesn’t work, or if you are seeing linker issues, the header and compilation might be out of sync and you may want to ensure that you are building from a clean tree. If you are using ccache, try clearing the cache by running ccache -C (see ccache -h for help) and then rebuilding.

If that doesn’t solve it, you can also run git clean -f -x -d and rebuild. This wipes everything in the tree that doesn’t belong to git, so be careful that you don’t have anything else in the directory that you don’t want to lose and move it out first.

See https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests for more info.

MacOS 13.0 Arm64 architechture . I tried installing BDB using homebrew while following the docs -> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md

Can you try to re-install it, and check that it installs it for arm64? Otherwise, if you don’t need it, you can disable it by passing --without-bdb to ./configure.

I don’t exactly understand it but this is what i got after running the ./configure command. https://gist.github.com/sarthak13gupta/6ab7cf9b402a3695b20da574a5957804

I don’t think I need it currently. Do I need to add anything else in this line ./configure --disable-bench --disable-fuzz-binary --enable-debug --without-gui --enable-suppress-external-warnings apart from --without-bdb

Did you move your macOS from x86_64 (Intel) machine to a new Apple Silicon based one?

(I saw a similar issue back then)

Nope it’s an m1 so I guess that would be arm64 since the start.

hebasto commented at 8:58 pm on December 14, 2023: member

If nothing else helps, I would suggest to remove and reinstall Homebrew from scratch.

sarthak13gupta commented at 9:04 pm on December 14, 2023: none

The linker issue persists… this is what I’m getting after running ./configure https://gist.github.com/sarthak13gupta/6ab7cf9b402a3695b20da574a5957804 and make https://gist.github.com/sarthak13gupta/a993a3f2eb2183b32c1e6042fe7d96db commands. also, another command used initially was git checkout v26.0 to checkout to 26.0

Also, should I reinstall command line tools as well, given the issue below?

You said you’re running on arm, but configure says otherwise:

checking build system type… x86_64-apple-darwin22.1.0

Is your terminal running under Rosetta or something.

This is clearly a local issue / misconfiguration, not a problem with Core.

maflcko commented at 9:18 pm on December 14, 2023: member

Could this be due to an env var? Maybe check env | grep 'HOST='?

Yes, now that I checked because it gives compatibility issues with dependencies sometimes.

Should I change it and run it without Rosseta?

But I don’t know why this would happen , also when brew is located at /opt/homebrew/bin/brew and I’m installing dependencies using arch -arm64 brew install ... because it would give a warning cannot install under rosseta 2 mostly .

Changing the terminal config to running it without rosetta worked, Thanks Guys!
