this guide has been made for macOS 10.14 and 10.15
Before compiling you will need to configure your build environmet.
The first step to setting up your mac build environment is installing Xcode. After Xcode has been installed download and install the Xcode command line tools here. or enter this command in the terminal:
xcode-select --install
You will get a popup asking you to install the Xcode command line tools simply click install to intsall them.
Next up is installing home brew, this can be done with the following command:
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"
after Homebrew has been installed you will need to download the following dependencies with this command:
brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf libevent qt gcc@8 binutils coreutils coreutils wget
Now that we have installed all the needed dependencies to compile the safewallet you will need to configure your PATH.
To configure your path you will need to edit the following file /etc/paths. you will need to add qmake to your PATH.
This can be done with the following command:
sudo nano /etc/paths
Then you will need to add the path to qmake. By default this is /usr/local/opt/qt/bin and /usr/local/opt/qt5/bin
After adding this to your path the file should look something like this:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/opt/qt5/bin
/usr/local/opt/qt/bin
Now simply save and exit the file this can be done by pressing ^X then press Y and then return
After following these steps your build environment should be ready to compile safecoind and the safewallet just restart your terminal for the changes to take effect.
safewallet needs a Safecoin full node running safecoind and safecoin-cli.
To compile safecoind and safecoin-cli simply open the terminal and enter the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/Fair-Exchange/safecoin --branch master --single-branch
cd safecoin
# if you have already have the zcash params installed you won't need to execute the next command
./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
# now build safecoind and safecoin-cli
./zcutil/build-mac.sh -j$(expr $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) - 1)
# note that this can take some time
After the compile is done you can find safecoind and safecoin-cli in /src you will need these two files when we are done compiling the safewallet.
safewallet is written in C++ 14, and can be compiled with g++/clang++/visual c++. It also depends on Qt5, which you can get from here. Note that if you are compiling from source, you won't get the embedded safecoind and safecoin-cli by default. We will add these later.
To compile the safewallet for macOS simply execute the follwing commands:
git clone https://github.com/Fair-Exchange/safewallet.git
cd safewallet
qmake safe-qt-wallet.pro CONFIG+=debug
make -j$(expr $(sysctl -n hw.ncpu) - 1)
To embed the safecoind and safecoin-cli you will need to copy the safecoind and safecoin-cli these can be found in ~/safecoin/src
After copying these files go to ~/safewallet and right click on safewallet.app now press on Show Package Contents and go to /Contents/MacOS/ now paste the safecoind and safecoin-cli
Create a folder on your desktop and give it the name you want the image to be called. Next copy the safewallet.app to the folder. Additionally you can add a short cut to the applications folder by going to your home directory and option dragging this to the folder on your desktop.
next open Disk Utilty
and go to File -> New Image -> Image from Folder select the folder on your desktop and click choose
Enter the name you want the image to show up as this should be the same name as you named your folder.
For encryption choose none and for Image format choose read-only.
now click save
