Building the DMT executable file on Fedora Linux (33)

Method based on physical or virtual linux machine

Execute the following commands from the terminal:

sudo dnf groupinstall -y "Development Tools" \
&& sudo dnf install -y python38 python3-devel openssl-devel zlib-devel bzip2-devel sqlite-devel libffi-devel libXinerama-devel wget \
&& cd ~ \
&& curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -o get-pip.py \
&& sudo python3.8 get-pip.py \
&& mkdir -p dmt-build \
&& cd dmt-build \
&& python3.8 -m pip install virtualenv \
&& python3.8 -m virtualenv -p python3.8 venv \
&& . venv/bin/activate \
&& git clone https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool \
&& cd dash-masternode-tool/ \
&& pip install -r requirements.txt \
&& mkdir -p ~/dmt-build/dist
pyinstaller --distpath=../dist/linux --workpath=../dist/linux/build dash_masternode_tool.spec

The following files will be created once the build has completed successfully:

  • Executable: ~/dmt-build/dist/linux/DashMasternodeTool
  • Compressed executable: ~/dmt-build/dist/all/DashMasternodeTool_<verion_string>.linux.tar.gz

Method based on Docker

This method uses a dedicated docker image configured to carry out an automated build process for Dash Masternode Tool. The advantage of this method is its simplicity, and the fact that it does not make any changes in the list of installed apps/libraries on your physical/virtual machine. All necessary dependencies are installed inside the Docker container. The second important advantage is that compilation can also be carried out on Windows or macOS (if Docker is installed), but keep in mind that the result of the build will be a Linux executable.

Note: skip steps 1 to 4 if you have done them before - if you are just building a newer version of DMT, go straight to step 5.

1. Create a new directory

We will refer to this as the working directory in the remainder of this documentation.

2. Open the terminal app and cd to the working directory

cd <working_directory>

3. Install the bertrand256/build-dmt:ubuntu Docker image

Skip this step if you have done this before. At any time, you can check whether the required image exists in your local machine by issuing following command:

docker images bertrand256/build-dmt:fedora

The required image can be obtained in one of two ways:

Download from Docker Hub

Execute the following command:

docker pull bertrand256/build-dmt

Build the image yourself, using the Dockerfile file from the DMT project repository.

docker build -t bertrand256/build-dmt:fedora .

4. Create a Docker container

A Docker container is an instance of an image (similar to how an object is an instance of a class in the software development world), and it exists until you delete it. You can therefore skip this step if you have created the container before. To easily identify the container, we give it a specific name (dmtbuild) when it is created, so you can easily check if it exists in your system.

docker ps -a --filter name=dmtbuild --filter ancestor=bertrand256/build-dmt:fedora

Create the container:

mkdir -p build
docker create --name dmtbuild -v $(pwd)/build:/root/dmt-build/dist -it bertrand256/build-dmt:fedora

5. Build the Dash Masternode Tool executable

docker start -ai dmtbuild

After the process completes, the resulting files can be found in the build subdirectory of your current directory:

  • Executable: linux/DashMasternodeTool
  • Compressed executable: all/DashMasternodeTool_<verion_string>.linux.tar.gz
