Bitcoin Update Failed: Compiling Bitcoin Core with Errors

The recent attempt to compile Bitcoin Core, a popular open-source cryptocurrency software, has encountered errors during cross-compilation. The failure occurred on multiple systems, including Ubuntu-based servers and clients.

To resolve the issue, it’s essential to identify the root cause of the error and take corrective action. Here’s an article outlining the steps to be taken:

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • Check Dependencies:

    Bitcoin: Bitcoin Cross-compilation failed with errors in notification.cpp

    Before attempting to compile Bitcoin Core again, ensure that all dependencies required for the build process are installed. The apt package manager has been used to install the necessary packages, including:

* build-essential

* libtool

* autotools-dev

* automake

* pkg-config

* bsdmainutils

* curl

* git

  • Verify Compilation: After installing the dependencies, verify that the compilation process is successful by running a manual build:

make - C / usr / lib / release - 2.0.5

This command builds Bitcoin Core with the specified configuration (release-2.0.5).

  • Check Notification Files:

    The error message notification.cpp: No such file or directory suggests that a notification file is missing. This typically indicates a problem with a C++ compiler option or a corrupted build environment.

To resolve this, try:

sudo apt install libstdc++-dev-dev

This command installs the development packages required for building C++ libraries, including libstdc++. You may need to adjust your compiler flags or rebuild the system before attempting to compile again.

  • Reinstall Dependencies (if necessary): If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can try reinstalling all dependencies using:

sudo apt install -f build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl git

This command installs all required packages for dependency resolution.

  • Rebuild System: Once dependencies are installed and corrected, attempt to rebuild the system:

sudo make - C / usr / lib / release - 2.0.5

  • Verify Compilation (again): Run a manual build again to ensure that compilation is successful.

  • Check for Conflicting Files or Packages: If errors persist, it is possible that there are conflicting files or packages in your system. Check the /var/lib/apt/lists/ directory for any corrupted or unnecessary package information.

Conclusion:

Compiling Bitcoin Core with errors can be frustrating. By following these steps and troubleshooting potential issues, you should be able to resolve the problem and successfully compile the software. Remember to regularly update dependencies and rebuild systems as needed to ensure optimal performance. If you encounter further difficulties, consider seeking assistance from a Linux expert or online forums for guidance.
