First of all, if you have Macports, do yourself a favor and get rid of it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then make sure you have Homebrew<\/a> installed and all the packages installed by it up to date.<\/p>\n

1. Let’s install all the dependencies for Bitcoin hacking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt libtool<\/code><\/p>\n

2. Make sure you have the right OpenSSL version installed. Type the following on your terminal:<\/p>\n

openssl version<\/code><\/p>\n

you should see “OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014.”<\/p>\n

if you see an older version, do<\/p>\n

brew update
\nbrew upgrade<\/code><\/p>\n

OpenSSL should be upgraded, you may or may not have to issue a “brew link openssl<\/code>” or even a “brew link --overwrite openssl<\/code>” if it’s giving you trouble.<\/p>\n

3. Now, let’s configure, and make. I strongly suggest you add the boost library path when configuring, otherwise you may get nasty “Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64<\/code>” compilation errors. During the time I wrote this, homebrew had installed boost 1.55 in my system, and the boost lib path was \/usr\/local\/Cellar\/boost\/1.55.0\/lib<\/code> so I invoked the following:<\/p>\n

.\/configure --with-boost-libdir=\/usr\/local\/Cellar\/boost\/1.55.0\/lib<\/code><\/p>\n

After that I just issued a<\/p>\n

make<\/code><\/p>\n

And I was done.<\/p>\n

If you want to hack the bitcoin-qt client like me, head to src\/qt\/<\/code>, there should be a bitcoin-qt<\/code> executable there now.<\/p>\n

Enjoy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
