This repository contains scripts and tooling that is used to build and package the native libraries used by Hyperledger Besu.
Besu Native libraries are licensed unde the Apache 2.0 License.
You'll need to be sure that gcc, make, autoconf, automake, and libtool are installed. If you are building on Ubuntu or Debian, the following command will install these dependencies for you:
sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool patchelf
You'll need to be sure that XCode Command Line Tools, make, autoconf, automake, and libtool are installed. The easiest way to do this is to install Homebrew, and then run the following command. Note that installing Homebrew will automatically install the XCode command line tools.
brew install autoconf automake libtool
TBD
Additionally you will need golang, rust, and nim. Distributions often do not have the latest versions of these languages. Check for latest builds: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install https://go.dev/dl/ https://nim-lang.org/install.html
Golang is required to compile the gnark-based libraries for all platforms and architectures.
On MacOs, homebrew has a working golang target, e.g.:
brew install go
on Linux, for most recent distributions there is typically a somewhat recent go package, e.g.
apt install go
You can fetch the latest golang distribution here: https://go.dev/dl/
Nim 2.2.x+ is required to build Constantine. Constantine is skipped on riscv64 architectures, so it is not needed for linux-riscv64. On MacOs, homebrew has a working nim target, e.g.:
brew install nim
on Linux, for most recent distributions there is typically a nim package, e.g.
apt install nim
Otherwise see: https://nim-lang.org/install.html
Rust needs to be installed to compile the arithmetic library. The default way to install it on Linux or OS X is:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
If you are Mac M1/M2/M3 you might need to add this after installing rust:
rustup target add x86_64-apple-darwin
If you prefer another installation method please refer to the Rust installation instructions.
- This repository builds native libraries from source that is included as git submodules. To be
sure that you have cloned those submodules into the appropriate locations,
run
git submodule init && git submodule update - The build steps are entirely contained within the
build.shscript at the repository root. Simply run this script, and all the native modules contained herein will be configured with the correct build options for Hyperledger Besu, and built.
