Building a wallet with legacy support fails on OpenBSD 7.4 #28963
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behaviour
Building a wallet with legacy support by following the instructions located within doc/build-openbsd.md fails on OpenBSD 7.4 (the latest OpenBSD release).
The instructions fail during the gmake step from the Legacy Wallet Support section.
My understanding is that this project used to install BerkeleyDB support via a (now removed) installer script. The removed installer script contrib/install_db4.sh was removed in this commit. It seems the intent moving forward is to build BerkeleyDB from the depends folder - this process is currently failing - hence the creation of this issue.
Expected behaviour
A successful build of a wallet with legacy support is possible by strictly following the instructions found within doc/build-openbsd.md and depends/README.md.
Steps to reproduce
$ pkg_add bash git gmake libevent libtool boost
$ pkg_add autoconf automake python
17: autoconf-2.71
10: automake-1.16.5
4: python-3.11.5
$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
$ cd bitcoin
$ git checkout v25.1
$ pkg_add gtar
1: gtar-1.35
(per instructions on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/depends/README.md)
$ gmake -C depends NO_BOOST=1 NO_LIBEVENT=1 NO_QT=1 NO_SQLITE=1 NO_NATPMP=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_USDT=1
