These manual instructions are intended for advanced developers. The Shell Scripts should be the preferred method to build EOSIO from source. If the script fails or your platform is not supported, continue with the instructions below.
EOSIO Dependencies
When performing a manual build, it is necessary to install specific software packages that the EOSIO software depends on. To learn more about these dependencies, visit the EOSIO Software Dependencies section.
Platforms
Shell commands are available to manually download, build, install, test, and uninstall the EOSIO software and dependencies for these platforms.
Out-of-source Builds
While building dependencies and EOSIO binaries, out-of-source builds are also supported. Refer to the cmake help for more information.
Other Compilers
To override clang's default compiler toolchain, add these flags to the cmake command within the above instructions:
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/path/to/c++ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/path/to/cc
Debug Builds
For a debug build, add -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. Other common build types include Release and RelWithDebInfo.
