#41837: Enhancements for bitcoind --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: zachlym@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts Future Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: bitcoind | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by zachlym@…): I was trying to modify your bitcoind portfile to install namecoind and failed utterly. However, I have previously figured out some things while installing Namecoin which you might find helpful. Everything should work with Bitcoin but no promises : ) Auto-setup bitcoin.conf: {{{ RPCPASS=`openssl rand -hex 20` RPCUSER=`whoami` echo "rpcuser=$RPCUSER \nrpcpassword=$RPCPASS \nrpcport=8336" > ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf }}} I believe you can also set 'daemon=1' in bitcoin.conf and avoid the (irritatingly redundant) bitcoind -deamon switch. Your comments mention something about automake and config, I think you just use the normal 'make -f makefile.osx' and set 'use_configure no'. Your post install notes comments should mention something about bootstrap.dat so the user doesn't have to wait 72 hours for their blockchain to be built. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41837#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
