Building from Source

Prerequisites

Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config \
    bsdmainutils python3 curl git bison

For cross-compilation (optional):

# Windows cross-compile
sudo apt-get install -y g++-mingw-w64-x86-64 nsis zip

# ARM64 cross-compile
sudo apt-get install -y g++-aarch64-linux-gnu binutils-aarch64-linux-gnu

macOS:

brew install automake libtool pkg-config

Build with depends (recommended)

The depends system downloads and builds all dependencies locally, ensuring reproducible builds.

git clone https://github.com/NitoNetwork/Nito-core.git
cd Nito-core

# Download Qt sources (required for GUI)
mkdir -p depends/sources && cd depends/sources
curl -L -O https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.11/submodules/qtbase-everywhere-opensource-src-5.15.11.tar.xz
curl -L -O https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.11/submodules/qttranslations-everywhere-opensource-src-5.15.11.tar.xz
curl -L -O https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/5.15.11/submodules/qttools-everywhere-opensource-src-5.15.11.tar.xz
cd ../..

# Build dependencies
cd depends && make HOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu -j$(nproc) && cd ..

# Build Nito
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site \
    ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-tests --disable-bench
make -j$(nproc)

Binaries will be in src/ (nitod, nito-cli, nito-qt, etc.)

Build without GUI

cd depends && make HOST=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu NO_QT=1 -j$(nproc) && cd ..
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site \
    ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-tests --disable-bench
make -j$(nproc)

Cross-Compile for Windows

cd depends && make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 -j$(nproc) && cd ..
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site \
    ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-tests --disable-bench
make -j$(nproc)

Cross-Compile for ARM64 (Raspberry Pi, ARM servers)

cd depends && make HOST=aarch64-linux-gnu -j$(nproc) && cd ..
./autogen.sh
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/aarch64-linux-gnu/share/config.site \
    ./configure --prefix=/ --disable-tests --disable-bench --enable-reduce-exports
make -j$(nproc)
