Dependencies

These are the dependencies currently used by the Agrarian 2.0 modernization branch. You can find instructions for installing or building them in the build-*.md file for your platform. The preferred path is the deterministic depends/ tree, not mixed system libraries.

Dependency Version used Minimum required CVEs Shared Bundled Qt library
Berkeley DB 4.8.30 4.8.x No
Boost 1.91.0 1.47.0 No
Clang C++17 support
D-Bus 1.10.18 No Yes
Expat 2.8.0 Security fixes Yes
fontconfig 2.12.1 No Yes
FreeType 2.14.3 Qt 6 static font support
GCC C++17 support
HarfBuzz-NG
libevent 2.1.12-stable 2.0.22 No
libjpeg Yes
libpng Yes
librsvg
MiniUPnPc 2.3.3 No
OpenSSL 3.5.6 No
GMP 6.1.2 No
PCRE Yes
protobuf 2.6.1 No
Python (tests) 3.5
qrencode 4.1.1 No
Qt 6.8.3 6.8 LTS No
XCB Yes (Linux only)
xkbcommon Yes (Linux only)
ZeroMQ 4.3.5 4.0.0 No
zlib 1.3.2 No

Modernization notes

  • Qt builds target Qt 6.8 LTS through the deterministic depends path.
  • OpenSSL builds target OpenSSL 3.5 LTS through the deterministic depends path.
  • Boost builds target Boost 1.91.0 through the deterministic depends path.
  • Berkeley DB remains 4.8.30 in depends for legacy wallet portability. Wallets built against other BDB major versions may not be portable.

Controlling dependencies

Some dependencies are not needed in all configurations. The following are some factors that affect the dependency list.

Options passed to ./configure

  • MiniUPnPc is not needed with --with-miniupnpc=no.
  • Berkeley DB is not needed with --disable-wallet.
  • Qt is not needed with --without-gui.
  • If the qrencode dependency is absent, QR support won't be added. To force an error when that happens, pass --with-qrencode.
  • ZeroMQ is needed only with the --with-zmq option.

Other

  • librsvg is only needed if you need to run make deploy on (cross-compilation to) macOS.
