Library Requirements
--------------------
You will need several development libraries:
* libsqlite3: for database support.
* libgmp: for secp256k1
* zlib: for compression routines.
For actually doing development and running the tests, you will also need:
* pip3: to install python-bitcoinlib
* asciidoc: for formatting the man pages (if you change them)
* valgrind: for extra debugging checks
You will also need a version of bitcoind with segregated witness and
estimatesmartfee economical node, such as the 0.15 or above.

$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
$ cd bitcoin
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make & make install
Clone lightning:
$ git clone https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning.git
$ cd lightning
Build lightning:
$ ./configure
$ make
Running lightning:
**Note**: Edit your `~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitcoin/bitcoin.conf`
to include `rpcuser=<foo>` and `rpcpassword=<bar>` first, you may also
need to include `testnet=1`

./lightningd/lightningd &
./cli/lightning-cli help
To cross-compile for Android
--------------------
Make a standalone toolchain as per
https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html.
For c-lightning you must target an API level of 24 or higher.
Depending on your toolchain location and target arch, source env variables
such as:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/android/toolchain/bin
# Change next line depending on target device arch
target_host=arm-linux-androideabi
export AR=$target_host-ar
export AS=$target_host-clang
export CC=$target_host-clang
export CXX=$target_host-clang++
export LD=$target_host-ld
export STRIP=$target_host-strip
Two makefile targets should not be cross-compiled so we specify a native CC:
make CC=clang clean ccan/tools/configurator/configurator
make clean -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools \
&& make CC=clang -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools
Install the `qemu-user` package.
This will allow you to properly configure
the build for the target device environment.
Build with:
BUILD=x86_64 MAKE_HOST=arm-linux-androideabi \
make PIE=1 DEVELOPER=0 \
CONFIGURATOR_CC="arm-linux-androideabi-clang -static"
To cross-compile for Raspberry Pi
--------------------
Obtain the [official Raspberry Pi toolchains](https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools). This document assumes compilation will occur towards the Raspberry Pi 3 (arm-linux-gnueabihf as of Mar. 2018). In addition, obtain and install cross-compiled versions of sqlite 3 and gmp.
Depending on your toolchain location and target arch, source env variables will need to be set. They can be set from the command line as such:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin
# Change next line depending on specific Raspberry Pi device
target_host=arm-linux-gnueabihf
export AR=$target_host-ar
export AS=$target_host-as
export CC=$target_host-gcc
export CXX=$target_host-g++
export LD=$target_host-ld
export STRIP=$target_host-strip
Install the `qemu-user` package. This will allow you to properly configure the build for the target device environment. Then, build with the following commands. (A 64-bit build system is assumed here.)
make CC=gcc clean ccan/tools/configurator/configurator
BUILD=x86_64 MAKE_HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf make PIE=1 DEVELOPER=0 CONFIGURATOR_CC="arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -static" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/lib" CFLAGS="-std=gnu11 -I /path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/include -I . -I ccan -I external/libwally-core/src/secp256k1/include -I external/libsodium/src/libsodium/include -I external/jsmn -I external/libwally-core/include -I external/libbacktrace -I external/libbase58"
The compilation will eventually fail due to a compile error in the `cdump` CCAN module. Recompile the module, and then re-run the make system.
make clean -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools
make CC=gcc -C ccan/ccan/cdump/tools
BUILD=x86_64 MAKE_HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf make PIE=1 DEVELOPER=0 CONFIGURATOR_CC="arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -static" LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/lib" CFLAGS="-std=gnu11 -I /path/to/gmp-and-sqlite/include -I . -I ccan -I external/libwally-core/src/secp256k1/include -I external/libsodium/src/libsodium/include -I external/jsmn -I external/libwally-core/include -I external/libbacktrace -I external/libbase58"
To compile for Armbian
--------------------
For all the other Pi devices out there, consider using [Armbian](https://www.armbian.com).
You can compile in `customize-image.sh` using the instructions for Ubuntu.
A working example that compiles both bitcoind and c-lightning for Armbian can
be found [here](https://github.com/Sjors/armbian-bitcoin-core).
