I know there are a few questions like this on the stack already, but currently I'm facing issues with a compilation. I've tried an official guide from the github for mac os, but end up with a lot of errors. First of all, I always get this kind of errors:
aclocal: error: aclocal: file '/usr/local/share/aclocal/introspection.m4' does not exist
and other files from aclocal.
If you have an experience, and know how to setup, or know any guides, please share share. Thanks in advance :)
On a Mac Pro with MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 I got a clean compilation by following the instructions in doc/build-osx.md.
The sequence of commands is:
1) First install Xcode and HomeBrew by executing (in Terminal)
xcode-select --install
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null
2) Then install required libraries with
brew install automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost --c++11 miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt libevent python3
(note: I added python3 otherwise there would be errors during "make check")
3) Download and compile
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
cd bitcoin
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make check
Searching aclocal: error: aclocal: file on google yields https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/3335
