Build Qtum on CentOS 7
CentOS is an enterprise-oriented Linux distribution, that means it's focused for stability and security but not necessarily the latest software. With that being said, you cannot currently build Qtum in CentOS 7 following the steps that other more recent distributions can use.
In this document we'll show how to build Qtum in CentOS 7 and produce a static binary which can then be executed on any other Linux distribution, even if it's more recent.
General Prerequisites
Update Yum repositories
sudo yum update
Install development tools and libraries
Getting ready:
sudo yum install -y tar unzip git which wget patch make autoconf automake libtool \
epel-release centos-release-scl centos-release-scl-rh finduitls vim mc openssl-devel \
file
Enable Devtoolset-7
yum install -y devtoolset-7-gcc* && \
echo "source scl_source enable devtoolset-7" >> /root/.bashrc
source scl_source enable devtoolset-7
Clone Qtum Github source:
git clone --recurse-submodules --depth 1 https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum
Building Qtum
cd qtum && make -C depends/
DEPENDS="$(pwd)/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$DEPENDS
make
Please keep in mind, this will produce a static build and it will take longer than a normal build.
