[DEV] MacOS - Build Feathercoind + Feathercoin-Qt v0.9.3.1 [COMPLETED]

AcidD

Hi All,

Finally!! after many moons and sleepless nights, I’ve done it!!

I have a Static Binary that worked on a clean MacOS Sierra install…no other dependancies or software were installed on the test machine.

This was build with MacOS Sierra, Boost155, Protobuf260, QT 5.7.0.

Full 64-bit, none of this going back generations of OS’s just to get it to build…No nonsense from Acid!

EDIT========The below link is for the Feathercoin-Qt.app file only.

Love a good screenshot!

I’ve also managed to get the “Make Deploy” working.

You have to edit a few files since it’s looking for things “Bitcoin” related (eg. Bitcoin-qt becomes Feathercoin-qt…etc)

However…after some hackery I can now produce a DMG file with a working Feathercoin-Qt App. YAY!!

I just downloaded GIMP so I can change the “To install Bitcoin…” Text

AcidD

Hi All,

This is ready for testing I believe.

Random (might be useful) points:

Built Feathercoin 0.9.3.1 from source here: https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/tree/0.9.3.1
major hackery with the Makefiles to get things like C++11 support for QT 5.7
Built it under MacOS Sierra 10.12.1
Yes I did go back to Mavricks 10.9 out of pure frustration at one point, I had 2 build stations (VMs) at work and 1 at home (MacBookPro) , each with different versions of OSX…trying different things…the final working build came from my OSX Sierra MacBookPro
Hackery for “Make Deploy” - wasn’t much, I had a info.plist file ready to copy into the Feathercoin-Qt.app as the “Make deploy” is running …otherwise the .App file gets built and doesn’t work because it’s looking for the executable binary “Bitcoin-Qt”
Edited the background.png file in the contrib/macdeploy folder - just added the Feathercoin name instead of Bitcoin
on OSX Sierra 10.12 you’ll have to use QT 5.7.0 since previous versions are not supported. You’ll get an error “QT Requires C++11 Support” . - thats when the Makefile Hackery for /src/qt/Makefile comes in…while other Makefiles were left alone
You’ll also get the same error for macdockiconhandler and you have to go and add the same flags you did for QT CXXFLAGS on OBJCXXFLAGS

-std=c++11   <<< add that

LevelDB Makefile was edited to include that flag
Last ./configure command looked like this:

acids-MBP:FTC0931 acid$ ./configure --disable-upnp-default --disable-tests --without-miniupnpc LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4/lib/ -L/usr/local/opt/qrencode/lib/" CPPFLAGS=" -I/usr/local/opt/berkeley-db4/include/ -I/usr/local/opt/qrencode/include/" --with-gui=qt5 --with-qrcode=yes --with-boost=/usr/local/Cellar/boost155/1.55.0_1

Anyways, I digress… Here’s the goods.

Love a good screen shot:

Anyone testing this, feel free to post back in this thread.

Full blockchain sync on test machine in 4 hours. Will pass some FTC back and fourth between my dev machine and the test machine.

Test Machine is a MacBook Pro with a Fresh Install of MacOS Sierra. No dependancies or libs were installed, the DMG opens and the app installs successfully. A complete static build.

AcidD

Hi All,

Both the wallet on my dev machine and test machine synced correctly.

I sent some FTC to my dev machine here:
https://bchain.info/FTC/addr/71gkB9EvzVJ2GMimcHQx4njntzX55ahPdW

I’d like to get a few more test machines running this before we push it to Feathercoin.com for downloading.

AmDD

Awesome! Im not on a mac but thanks for the effort put into this!!

Just did a test with https://ufile.io/26924 and it was working fine for me on Mac-OS Sierra - MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015).

Installer worked without problems and Feathercoin-QT GUI started fast. Did 1 outgoing transaction and one incoming transaction and both worked well and fast.

So - now I’m running v0.9.3.1 - GREAT JOB :-)

wrapper

@Wellenreiter has now created the release version 0.9.6. This should just compile the same as 0.3.1 and 0.9.3.2 - the differenced are documentation.

Once were happy that compiles and runs as version 0.9.3.2, the test look positive to produce the official build.

Version 0.9.6 contains a number of significant improvements, particularly in look and feel.

Wellenreiter

Actually it is 0.9.3.6

We are planning the release for the second half of January, if all goes well

wrapper

~~Should have just edited it, i’m still rough.~~

It needs to be 0.9.6 otherwise people will still use 0.9.5 because it is a bigger number !!!

Sorry didn’t notice, the slight difference, when i checked it.

Wellenreiter

@wrapper
ok, branch number is 0.9.6 now

Hi All,

This work has been documented to the best of my ability, see here:

Anyone testing this, feel free to post back in this thread.

Have a spare few moments so was trying to give this a run for it’s money but the file is no longer available, can anyone provide me with a working link for this?

@lizhi, @aciddude

Thanks for that.

Can you provide the binaries, when we officially release 09.6?
