Usage

Nix

These instructions should assist in setting up a NixOS shell, capable of building the bitcoin project.

• git clone bitcoin
• copy or symlink default.nix in this repository into the bitcoin directory
• nix-shell 😉 inside the bitcoin directory

Docker

These instructions should assist in setting up a Docker environment within which one may mount the bitcoin project in order to build it.

• build docker image with make image
• start docker container with BITCOIN=/path/to/bitcoin/repository make shell

Inside the shell, one may subsequently run

make clean
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

to build the bitcoin code.
