I built Bitcoin Core from source by following this guide: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-osx.md
And got it running on the command line via: ./src/bitcoind
Screenshots from https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node indicate that there is a GUI.
However, the guide does not mention (at the time of writing this) how to get the GUI running.
So where do I find it? How do I run it?
1The GUI binary is called
bitcoin-qt, notbitcoind. – Pieter Wuille – 2019-08-24T07:08:43.983@PieterWuille I don't see that binary alongside
bitcoind. Any particular reasonbitcoin-qtwouldn't get built along with everything else? – Joncom – 2019-08-24T11:09:44.473For example because you don't have Qt5 development files installed. – Pieter Wuille – 2019-08-24T15:50:37.253
@PieterWuille I followed the official build guide (link in OP). What should I be doing differently to ensure "Qt5" files get installed? – Joncom – 2019-08-25T01:43:35.670
It does tell you to install qt using brew, so I suspect it should just work. Note that the qt binary will be in the src/qt/ subdirectory. If it's not there, I can't help you as I don't have Mac hardware. – Pieter Wuille – 2019-08-25T01:52:09.640
Yes, I did install the
qtdependency withbrew, as per the guide. I do see lots of files in thesrc/qt/folder, however no binary namedbitcoin-qtthere. – Joncom – 2019-08-25T05:14:02.980
