Libbitcoin Blockchain

Bitcoin blockchain library

Make sure you have installed libbitcoin-database and libbitcoin-consensus (optional) beforehand according to their respective build instructions.

$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ sudo ldconfig

libbitcoin-blockchain is now installed in /usr/local/.

Configure Options

The default configuration requires libbitcoin-consensus. This ensures consensus parity with the Satoshi client. To eliminate the libbitcoin-consensus dependency use the --without-consensus option. This results in use of libbitcoin consensus checks.

Installation

Macintosh

Using Homebrew

Installing from Formula

Instead of building, libbitcoin can be installed from a formula:

$ brew install libbitcoin-blockchain
