UNIX BUILD NOTES
====================
Some notes on how to build Agrarian Core in Unix.
Copyright (c) 2026 Agrarian Developers
Note
---------------------
Always use absolute paths to configure and compile Agrarian Core and the dependencies,
For example, when specifying the path of the dependency:
UNIX Build Notes
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
These notes describe how to build Agrarian Core on Unix-based systems.
Here BDB_PREFIX must be an absolute path - it is defined using $(pwd) which ensures
the usage of the absolute path.
IMPORTANT
To Build
---------------------
Always use absolute paths when configuring and compiling Agrarian Core
and its dependencies.
```bash
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install # optional
```
Example:
This will build agrarian-qt as well, if the dependencies are met.
../dist/configure --enable-cxx --disable-shared --with-pic --prefix=$BDB_PREFIX
Dependencies
---------------------
$BDB_PREFIX must be an absolute path. Using $(pwd) ensures an absolute
path is used.
These dependencies are required:
STANDARD BUILD
Library | Purpose | Description
------------|--------------------|----------------------
libssl | Crypto | Random Number Generation, Elliptic Curve Cryptography
libboost | Utility | Library for threading, data structures, etc
libevent | Networking | OS independent asynchronous networking
libgmp | Bignum Arithmetic | Precision arithmetic
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install (optional)
Optional dependencies:
If dependencies are satisfied, this will build agrarian-qt as well.
Library | Purpose | Description
------------|------------------|----------------------
miniupnpc | UPnP Support | Firewall-jumping support
libdb4.8 | Berkeley DB | Wallet storage (only needed when wallet enabled)
qt | GUI | GUI toolkit (only needed when GUI enabled)
protobuf | Payments in GUI | Data interchange format used for payment protocol (only needed when GUI enabled)
libqrencode | QR codes in GUI | Optional for generating QR codes (only needed when GUI enabled)
univalue | Utility | JSON parsing and encoding (bundled version will be used unless --with-system-univalue passed to configure)
libzmq3 | ZMQ notification | Optional, allows generating ZMQ notifications (requires ZMQ version >= 4.0.0)
DEPENDENCIES
For the versions used, see [dependencies.md](dependencies.md)
Required: - libssl : Crypto (RNG, ECC) - libboost : Utility (threading,
data structures) - libevent : Networking (async networking) - libgmp :
Bignum arithmetic
Memory Requirements
--------------------
Optional: - miniupnpc : UPnP support - libdb4.8 : Berkeley DB (wallet
builds only) - qt : GUI support - protobuf : GUI payment protocol -
libqrencode: QR code support - univalue : JSON parsing (bundled by
default) - libzmq3 : ZMQ notifications (>= 4.0.0)
C++ compilers are memory-hungry. It is recommended to have at least 1.5 GB of
memory available when compiling Agrarian Core. On systems with less, gcc can be
tuned to conserve memory with additional CXXFLAGS:
See dependencies.md for version details.
MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
Minimum recommended: 1.5 GB RAM.
Low memory systems:
./configure CXXFLAGS="--param ggc-min-expand=1 --param ggc-min-heapsize=32768"
UBUNTU / DEBIAN
## Linux Distribution Specific Instructions
### Ubuntu & Debian
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
Build tools:
sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool bsdmainutils autotools-dev autoconf pkg-config automake python3
Now, you can either build from self-compiled [depends](/depends/README.md) or install the required dependencies:
Libraries:
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libgmp-dev libevent-dev libboost-all-dev
**Note:** For Ubuntu versions starting with Bionic (18.04), or Debian versions starting with Stretch, use `libssl1.0-dev`
above instead of `libssl-dev`. Agrarian Core does not support the use of OpenSSL 1.1, though compilation is still possible
by passing `--with-incompatible-ssl` to configure (NOT RECOMMENDED!).
OpenSSL Note: For Ubuntu >= 18.04 or Debian >= Stretch use
libssl1.0-dev. OpenSSL 1.1 is not officially supported.
BerkeleyDB is required for the wallet.
**For Ubuntu only:** db4.8 packages are available [here](https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin).
You can add the repository using the following command:
Berkeley DB 4.8 (wallet support):
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev
Ubuntu and Debian have their own libdb-dev and libdb++-dev packages, but these will install
BerkeleyDB 5.1 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables, which
are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
Otherwise, you can build from self-compiled `depends` (see above).
To build Agrarian Core without wallet, see [*Disable-wallet mode*](/doc/build-unix.md#disable-wallet-mode)
Optional (see --with-miniupnpc and --enable-upnp-default):
Optional:
sudo apt-get install libminiupnpc-dev
ZMQ dependencies (provides ZMQ API):
sudo apt-get install libzmq3-dev
GUI dependencies:
Qt GUI:
If you want to build agrarian-qt, make sure that the required packages for Qt development
are installed. Qt 5 is necessary to build the GUI.
To build without GUI pass `--without-gui`.
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
Disable GUI:
sudo apt-get install libqt5gui5 libqt5core5a libqt5dbus5 qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler
./configure --without-gui
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
FEDORA
sudo apt-get install libqrencode-dev
Build tools:
Once these are installed, they will be found by configure and a agrarian-qt executable will be
built by default.
### Fedora
#### Dependency Build Instructions
Build requirements:
sudo dnf install which gcc-c++ libtool make autoconf automake compat-openssl10-devel libevent-devel boost-devel libdb4-devel libdb4-cxx-devel gmp-devel python3
sudo dnf install which gcc-c++ libtool make autoconf automake compat-openssl10-devel libevent-devel boost-devel libdb4-devel libdb4-cxx-devel gmp-devel python3
Optional:
sudo dnf install miniupnpc-devel zeromq-devel
To build with Qt 5 you need the following:
Qt:
sudo dnf install qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtbase-devel protobuf-devel
libqrencode (optional) can be installed with:
HARDENING
sudo dnf install qrencode-devel
Enable:
Notes
-----
The release is built with GCC and then "strip agrariand" to strip the debug
symbols, which reduces the executable size by about 90%.
./configure --enable-hardening
Disable:
miniupnpc
---------
./configure --disable-hardening
[miniupnpc](http://miniupnp.free.fr/) may be used for UPnP port mapping. It can be downloaded from [here](
http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/). UPnP support is compiled in and
turned off by default. See the configure options for upnp behavior desired:
Verify:
--without-miniupnpc No UPnP support miniupnp not required
--disable-upnp-default (the default) UPnP support turned off by default at runtime
--enable-upnp-default UPnP support turned on by default at runtime
scanelf -e ./agrariand
To build:
tar -xzvf miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz
cd miniupnpc-1.6
make
sudo su
make install
Berkeley DB
-----------
It is recommended to use Berkeley DB 4.8. If you have to build it yourself,
you can use [the installation script included in contrib/](/contrib/install_db4.sh)
like so:
```shell
./contrib/install_db4.sh `pwd`
```
from the root of the repository.
**Note**: You only need Berkeley DB if the wallet is enabled (see [*Disable-wallet mode*](/doc/build-unix.md#disable-wallet-mode)).
Boost
-----
If you need to build Boost yourself:
sudo su
./bootstrap.sh
./bjam install
Security
--------
To help make your Agrarian Core installation more secure by making certain attacks impossible to
exploit even if a vulnerability is found, binaries are hardened by default.
This can be disabled with:
Hardening Flags:
./configure --enable-hardening
./configure --disable-hardening
Hardening enables the following features:
* _Position Independent Executable_: Build position independent code to take advantage of Address Space Layout Randomization
offered by some kernels. Attackers who can cause execution of code at an arbitrary memory
location are thwarted if they don't know where anything useful is located.
The stack and heap are randomly located by default, but this allows the code section to be
randomly located as well.
On an AMD64 processor where a library was not compiled with -fPIC, this will cause an error
such as: "relocation R_X86_64_32 against `......' can not be used when making a shared object;"
To test that you have built PIE executable, install scanelf, part of paxutils, and use:
scanelf -e ./agrariand
The output should contain:
TYPE
ET_DYN
* _Non-executable Stack_: If the stack is executable then trivial stack-based buffer overflow exploits are possible if
vulnerable buffers are found. By default, Agrarian Core should be built with a non-executable stack
but if one of the libraries it uses asks for an executable stack or someone makes a mistake
and uses a compiler extension which requires an executable stack, it will silently build an
executable without the non-executable stack protection.
To verify that the stack is non-executable after compiling use:
`scanelf -e ./agrariand`
The output should contain:
STK/REL/PTL
RW- R-- RW-
The STK RW- means that the stack is readable and writeable but not executable.
Disable-wallet mode
--------------------
**Note:** This functionality is not yet completely implemented, and compilation using the below option will currently fail.
When the intention is to run only a P2P node without a wallet, Agrarian Core may be compiled in
disable-wallet mode with:
DISABLE WALLET MODE
./configure --disable-wallet
In this case there is no dependency on Berkeley DB 4.8.
Additional Configure Flags
--------------------------
A list of additional configure flags can be displayed with:
./configure --help
ARM Cross-compilation
-------------------
These steps can be performed on, for example, an Ubuntu VM. The depends system
will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for
installing the toolchain will be different.
Make sure you install the build requirements mentioned above.
Then, install the toolchain and curl:
ARM CROSS COMPILATION
sudo apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf curl
To build executables for ARM:
cd depends
make HOST=arm-linux-gnueabihf NO_QT=1
cd ..
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf --enable-glibc-back-compat --enable-reduce-exports LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++
./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/arm-linux-gnueabihf --enable-glibc-back-compat --enable-reduce-exports LDFLAGS=-static-libstdc++
make

WINDOWS BUILD NOTES
====================
Copyright (c) 2026 Agrarian Developers
Below are some notes on how to build Agrarian Core for Windows.
============================================================
Agrarian Core Windows Build Notes
============================================================
The options known to work for building Agrarian Core on Windows are:
This document describes how to build Agrarian Core for Windows.
* On Linux, using the [Mingw-w64](https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php) cross compiler tool chain. Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 is required
and is the platform used to build the Agrarian Core Windows release binaries.
* On Windows, using [Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl/about) and the Mingw-w64 cross compiler tool chain.
Other options which may work, but which have not been extensively tested are (please contribute instructions):
* On Windows, using a POSIX compatibility layer application such as [cygwin](http://www.cygwin.com/) or [msys2](http://www.msys2.org/).
* On Windows, using a native compiler tool chain such as [Visual Studio](https://www.visualstudio.com).
Installing Windows Subsystem for Linux
---------------------------------------
With Windows 10, Microsoft has released a new feature named the [Windows
Subsystem for Linux (WSL)](https://msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl/about). This
feature allows you to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu-based
environment. Within this environment you can cross compile for Windows without
the need for a separate Linux VM or server. Note that while WSL can be installed with
other Linux variants, such as OpenSUSE, the following instructions have only been
tested with Ubuntu.
This feature is not supported in versions of Windows prior to Windows 10 or on
Windows Server SKUs. In addition, it is available [only for 64-bit versions of
Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/commandline/wsl/install_guide).
Full instructions to install WSL are available on the above link.
To install WSL on Windows 10 with Fall Creators Update installed (version >= 16215.0) do the following:
1. Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature
* Open the Windows Features dialog (`OptionalFeatures.exe`)
* Enable 'Windows Subsystem for Linux'
* Click 'OK' and restart if necessary
2. Install Ubuntu
* Open Microsoft Store and search for "Ubuntu 18.04" or use [this link](https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9N9TNGVNDL3Q)
* Click Install
3. Complete Installation
* Open a cmd prompt and type "Ubuntu1804"
* Create a new UNIX user account (this is a separate account from your Windows account)
After the bash shell is active, you can follow the instructions below, starting
with the "Cross-compilation" section. Compiling the 64-bit version is
recommended, but it is possible to compile the 32-bit version.
Cross-compilation for Ubuntu and Windows Subsystem for Linux
------------------------------------------------------------
SUPPORTED BUILD METHODS
------------------------------------------------------------
The steps below can be performed on Ubuntu (including in a VM) or WSL. The depends system
will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for
installing the toolchain will be different.
The following methods are known to work:
First, install the general dependencies:
1. Linux (Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic recommended)
Using the Mingw-w64 cross-compilation toolchain.
This is the method used to produce official Windows release binaries.
2. Windows 10+
Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with Mingw-w64.
------------------------------------------------------------
UNTESTED / PARTIALLY TESTED OPTIONS
------------------------------------------------------------
The following may work but are not officially supported:
• Cygwin
• MSYS2
• Native Visual Studio toolchain
Contributions for these methods are welcome.
============================================================
WINDOWS SUBSYSTEM FOR LINUX (WSL)
============================================================
WSL allows running a Linux environment directly on Windows without a VM.
Requirements:
• Windows 10 (64-bit only)
• Not supported on Windows Server
• Ubuntu recommended (tested on Ubuntu 18.04)
------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLING WSL
------------------------------------------------------------
1. Enable WSL
- Run: OptionalFeatures.exe
- Enable "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
- Restart if prompted
2. Install Ubuntu
- Open Microsoft Store
- Install "Ubuntu 18.04"
3. Complete Setup
- Open command prompt
- Run: Ubuntu1804
- Create a UNIX user account
Once WSL is active, continue with cross-compilation instructions below.
============================================================
CROSS-COMPILATION (Ubuntu or WSL)
============================================================
The steps below work on:
• Native Ubuntu
• Ubuntu VM
• WSL
------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL DEPENDENCIES
------------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl git
sudo apt install build-essential libtool autotools-dev \
automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl git
A host toolchain (`build-essential`) is necessary because some dependency
packages (such as `protobuf`) need to build host utilities that are used in the
build process.
A host toolchain (build-essential) is required because some dependencies
(e.g., protobuf) build host utilities during the process.
See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
If you want to build the windows installer with `make deploy` you need [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page):
If building the Windows installer (`make deploy`):
sudo apt install nsis
Acquire the source in the usual way:
------------------------------------------------------------
SOURCE CODE
------------------------------------------------------------
git clone https://github.com/agrarian-project/agrarian.git
cd agrarian
## Building for 64-bit Windows
============================================================
BUILDING FOR 64-BIT WINDOWS
============================================================
The first step is to install the mingw-w64 cross-compilation tool chain:
Install Mingw-w64 toolchain:
sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 <sup>[1](#footnote1)</sup>:
Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ # Set the default mingw32 g++ compiler option to posix.
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
Once the toolchain is installed the build steps are common:
Select the POSIX thread model (required).
Note that for WSL the Agrarian Core source path MUST be somewhere in the default mount file system, for
example /usr/src/agrarian, AND not under /mnt/d/. If this is not the case the dependency autoconf scripts will fail.
This means you cannot use a directory that is located directly on the host Windows file system to perform the build.
------------------------------------------------------------
IMPORTANT (WSL USERS)
------------------------------------------------------------
Build using:
The source directory MUST reside inside the Linux filesystem
(e.g., /usr/src/agrarian).
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
DO NOT build from /mnt/c or any mounted Windows path.
Autoconf scripts will fail.
------------------------------------------------------------
BUILD COMMANDS
------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g')
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site \
./configure --prefix=/
make
## Building for 32-bit Windows
============================================================
BUILDING FOR 32-BIT WINDOWS
============================================================
To build executables for Windows 32-bit, install the following dependencies:
Install toolchain:
sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-i686-dev
Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 <sup>[1](#footnote1)</sup>:
Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++ # Set the default mingw32 g++ compiler option to posix.
sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++
Build using:
Select the POSIX thread model.
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
------------------------------------------------------------
BUILD COMMANDS
------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g')
cd depends
make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-w64-mingw32/share/config.site \
./configure --prefix=/
make
## Depends system
============================================================
DEPENDS SYSTEM
============================================================
For further documentation on the depends system see [README.md](../depends/README.md) in the depends directory.
For additional documentation, see:
Installation
-------------
depends/README.md
After building using the Windows subsystem it can be useful to copy the compiled
executables to a directory on the Windows drive in the same directory structure
as they appear in the release `.zip` archive. This can be done in the following
way. This will install to `c:\workspace\agrarian`, for example:
============================================================
INSTALLATION
============================================================
To install into a Windows-accessible directory:
make install DESTDIR=/mnt/c/workspace/agrarian
You can also create an installer using:
To build a Windows installer:
make deploy
Footnotes
---------
============================================================
THREAD MODEL NOTE
============================================================
<a name="footnote1">1</a>: Starting from Ubuntu Xenial 16.04, both the 32 and 64 bit Mingw-w64 packages install two different
compiler options to allow a choice between either posix or win32 threads. The default option is win32 threads which is the more
efficient since it will result in binary code that links directly with the Windows kernel32.lib. Unfortunately, the headers
required to support win32 threads conflict with some of the classes in the C++11 standard library, in particular std::mutex.
It's not possible to build the Agrarian Core code using the win32 version of the Mingw-w64 cross compilers (at least not without
modifying headers in the Agrarian Core source code).
Ubuntu Mingw-w64 packages include two thread models:
• win32 (default)
• posix
The win32 model conflicts with certain C++11 headers
(e.g., std::mutex) used by Agrarian Core.
You MUST select the POSIX thread model when prompted by
update-alternatives.
