Releases

Network has performed hard fork 3 with change of difficulty calculation and numerous bug fixes. Current hard fork ready release of Ubuntu safexd node binary and source code is available here. Current release branch with latest hotfixes is v0.1.2.

Build Instructions

MacOS

Check if you have Developer Tools Installed

$ xcode-select -p

If you don't have Developer Tools, install it. If you do, skip this step

$ xcode-select --install

Clone the git repository with recursive

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/safex/safexcore.git

Go into safexcore folder

$ cd safexcore

Check if brew is installed

$ which brew

If you don't have brew installed, install it. If you have it, skip this step

$ brew install wget

Install all libraries

$ brew tap jmuncaster/homebrew-header-only
$ brew install cmake boost zmq czmq zeromq jmuncaster/header-only/cppzmq openssl pkg-config

You will need to have MacPorts installed. If you don't have it install it from here https://guide.macports.org/. Download the package for your OS version from the website. Open new terminal window and check if MacPorts are installed

$ port version

If the installation was successful, install readline using MacPorts

$ sudo port install readline

Build it and insert the number of cores you have

$ make -j<Your number of cores> debug-all

Ubuntu 18.04

A one liner for installing all dependencies on Ubuntu 18.04 is

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install build-essential cmake pkg-config \
    libboost-all-dev libssl-dev libzmq3-dev libunbound-dev libminiupnpc-dev \
    libunwind8-dev liblzma-dev libreadline6-dev libldns-dev libexpat1-dev \
    libgtest-dev doxygen graphviz libpcsclite-dev

To build a debug version run:

make -j <Your number of cores> debug-all > build.log

to use all cores.

To build a release version run:

make -j <Your number of cores> release-all > build.log

to use all cores.

Docker

    # Build using all available cores
    docker build -t safex . > docker_build.log

    # or build using a specific number of cores (reduce RAM requirement)
    docker build --build-arg NPROC=1 -t safex . > docker_build.log

    # either run in foreground
    docker run -it -v /monero/chain:/root/.bitmonero -v /monero/wallet:/wallet -p 18080:18080 safex

    # or in background
    docker run -it -d -v /monero/chain:/root/.bitmonero -v /monero/wallet:/wallet -p 18080:18080 safex

Testing

To test the code, run:

$ cd build/debug/tests
$ ctest -j <Your number of cores> -VV > tests.log

On Windows:

Binaries for Windows are built on Windows using the MinGW toolchain within MSYS2 environment. The MSYS2 environment emulates a POSIX system. The toolchain runs within the environment and cross-compiles binaries that can run outside of the environment as a regular Windows application.

Preparing the build environment

• Download and install the MSYS2 installer, either the 64-bit or the 32-bit package, depending on your system.

• Open the MSYS shell via the MSYS2 MSYS shortcut

• Update packages using pacman:

    pacman -Syuu
  

• Exit the MSYS shell using Alt+F4

• Start MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shell and update packages again using pacman:

    pacman -Syuu
  

• Install dependencies:

  To build for 64-bit Windows:

    pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain make mingw-w64-x86_64-cmake mingw-w64-x86_64-boost mingw-w64-x86_64-openssl mingw-w64-x86_64-zeromq mingw-w64-x86_64-libsodium
  

  To build for 32-bit Windows:

    pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-toolchain make mingw-w64-i686-cmake mingw-w64-i686-boost mingw-w64-i686-openssl mingw-w64-i686-zeromq mingw-w64-i686-libsodium
  

• Open the MingW shell via MSYS2 MinGW 64-bit shortcut on 64-bit Windows or MSYS2 MinGW 32-bit shortcut on 32-bit Windows. Note that if you are running 64-bit Windows, you will have both 64-bit and 32-bit MinGW shells.

Cloning

• To git clone, run:

    git clone --recursive https://github.com/safex/safexcore.git
  

Building

• Change to the cloned directory, run:

    cd safexcore
  

• If you would like a specific version/tag, do a git checkout for that version. eg. 'v0.1.0'. If you don't care about the version and just want binaries from master, skip this step:

    git checkout
  

• If you are on a 64-bit system, run:

    make release-static-win64
  

• If you are on a 32-bit system, run:

    make release-static-win32
  

• The resulting executables can be found in build/release/bin

Running

Built binaries are located in build/debug/bin and/or build/release/bin, depending upon which build was used.

To run the node:

$ ./build/debug/bin/safexd --testnet

To run the wallet:

$ /path/to/binaries/safex-wallet-cli --testnet <other wallet parameters>

To list all wallet parameters use:

$ /path/to/binaries/safex-wallet-cli --testnet --help
