How To Compile

Linux

Prerequisites

You will need the following packages: Boost, OpenSSL, cmake (3.8 or higher), make, and git.

You will also need either GCC/G++, or Clang.

If you are using GCC, you will need GCC-7.0 or higher.

If you are using Clang, you will need Clang 6.0 or higher. You will also need libstdc++-6.0 or higher.

Ubuntu, using GCC

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install aptitude -y
• sudo aptitude install -y build-essential g++-8 gcc-8 git libboost-all-dev python-pip libssl-dev
• sudo pip install cmake
• export CC=gcc-8
• export CXX=g++-8
• git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/Zentcash/Zent
• cd Zent
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake ..
• make

The binaries will be in the src folder when you are complete.

• cd src
• ./Zentd --version

Ubuntu, using Clang

• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
• wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

You need to modify the below command for your version of ubuntu - see https://apt.llvm.org/

• Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)

• sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.llvm.org/trusty/ llvm-toolchain-trusty 6.0 main"

• Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)

• sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.llvm.org/xenial/ llvm-toolchain-xenial 6.0 main"

• Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic)

• sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://apt.llvm.org/bionic/ llvm-toolchain-bionic 6.0 main"

• sudo apt-get update

• sudo apt-get install aptitude -y

• sudo aptitude install -y -o Aptitude::ProblemResolver::SolutionCost='100*canceled-actions,200*removals' build-essential clang-6.0 libstdc++-7-dev git libboost-all-dev python-pip libssl-dev

• sudo pip install cmake

• export CC=clang-6.0

• export CXX=clang++-6.0

• git clone -b master --single-branch https://github.com/Zentcash/Zent

• cd Zent

• mkdir build

• cd build

• cmake ..

• make

The binaries will be in the src folder when you are complete.

• cd src
• ./Zentd --version

Generic Linux

Ensure you have the dependencies listed above.

If you want to use clang, ensure you set the environment variables CC and CXX. See the ubuntu instructions for an example.
