How to compile Bitcoin Core from source on Linux Debian and run the unit and functional tests

Last updated: 16 March 2019

Hi! This article now lives at https://jonatack.github.io/articles/how-to-compile-bitcoin-core-and-run-the-tests where I will continue to update it. Cheers.

This is a simplified compilation of the various docs in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/doc. Don't hesitate to read them for more information.

All steps are to be run from your terminal emulator, i.e. the command line.

RancherOS write-along

I just installed RancherOS on my FreeNAS-Machine See this gist. Afterwards this is a small writeup on what I did next.

First Container

See Quick Start Guide in the Rancher docs.

What I wanted:

LVM
UEFI/GPT

###Connect to Wifi

wifi-menu -o

Ubuntu on Acer Aspire Switch

The problem

What's the problem with this tablet? Why can't I just insert the USB and mash F12 until it boots? The tablet is made to run Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 only. Some absolute genius at Acer decided to put a 32-bit UEFI on a 64-bit system, which no reasonable Linux distro supports out-of-the-box.

NOTE: This guide focuses on installing Ubuntu alongside Windows. If you're trying to replace Windows, then I assume you know enough about Linux to know which parts to change.

What works:

Keyboard

Vim cheat sheet

Starting Vim

vim [file1] [file2] ...

#Transform web.config on build

Unload the project
Edit .csproj
Append figure 1 to the end of the file just before </Project>; v12.0 my change depending on your version of Visual Studio
Save .csproj and reload
Open configuration manager
Add a new Configuration Name: Base. Copy settings from: Release
Copy the contents of your web.config
Right click Web.Config > Add Config Transformation

vimdiff cheat sheet

##git mergetool

In the middle file (future merged file), you can navigate between conflicts with ]c and [c.

Choose which version you want to keep with :diffget //2 or :diffget //3 (the //2 and //3 are unique identifiers for the target/master copy and the merge/branch copy file names).

:diffupdate (to remove leftover spacing issues)

:only (once you’re done reviewing all conflicts, this shows only the middle/merged file)

	Very useful for the i9 XPS 9570 overheating on Linux. Since I use Linux for development, I don't use the nvidia that comes
	with the note and also don't need turboboost enabled, even running dozens of docker containers. I was having problems with
	temperature. Notebook was getting so hot it was hard to type for more than 4 hours straight.

	Here are my temperatures before undevolting:

	coretemp-isa-0000
	Adapter: ISA adapter
	Package id 0: +53.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C)
