To build dependencies for the current arch+OS:
make
To build for another arch/OS:
make HOST=host-platform-triplet
For example:
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j4
Bitcoin Core's configure
script by default will ignore the depends output. In
order for it to pick up libraries, tools, and settings from the depends build,
you must set the CONFIG_SITE
environment variable to point to a config.site
settings file.
Make sure that CONFIG_SITE
is an absolute path.
In the above example, a file named depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site
will be
created. To use it during compilation:
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure
The default install prefix when using config.site
is --prefix=depends/<host-platform-triplet>
,
so depends build outputs will be installed in that location.
Common host-platform-triplet

sudo apt-get install curl bsdmainutils cmake zip
Note: You must obtain the macOS SDK before proceeding with a cross-compile.
Under the depends directory, create a subdirectory named SDKs
.
Then, place the extracted SDK under this new directory.
For more information, see SDK Extraction.

Common linux dependencies:
sudo apt-get install make automake cmake curl g++-multilib libtool binutils bsdmainutils pkg-config python3 patch bison
For linux ARM cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf
For linux AARCH64 cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu
For linux POWER 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):
sudo apt-get install g++-powerpc64-linux-gnu binutils-powerpc64-linux-gnu g++-powerpc64le-linux-gnu binutils-powerpc64le-linux-gnu
For linux RISC-V 64-bit cross compilation (there are no packages for 32-bit):
sudo apt-get install g++-riscv64-linux-gnu binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu
For linux S390X cross compilation:
sudo apt-get install g++-s390x-linux-gnu binutils-s390x-linux-gnu
pkg_add bash gtar
The following can be set when running make: make FOO=bar

: Packages that are missed in dependencies (due toNO_*
option or build script logic) are searched for among the host system packages usingpkg-config
. It allows building with packages of other (newer) versionsMULTIPROCESS
: Build libmultiprocess (experimental, requires CMake)DEBUG
: Disable some optimizations and enable more runtime checkingHOST_ID_SALT
: Optional salt to use when generating host package idsBUILD_ID_SALT
: Optional salt to use when generating build package idsFORCE_USE_SYSTEM_CLANG
: (EXPERTS ONLY) When cross-compiling for macOS, use Clang found in the system's$PATH
rather than the default prebuilt release of Clang from llvm.org. Clang 8 or later is requiredLOG
: Use file-based logging for individual packages. During a package build its log file resides in thedepends
directory, and the log file is printed out automatically in case of build error. After successful build log files are moved along with package archivesLTO
: Use LTO when building packages.NO_HARDEN=1
: Don't use hardening options when building packages
If some packages are not built, for example make NO_WALLET=1
, the appropriate
options will be passed to bitcoin's configure. In this case, --disable-wallet
.
