Getting error while building Bitcoind on MAC OS

Question

I am trying to build bitcoind and am using the following code:

brew install autoconf automake berkeley-db4 libtool boost miniupnpc openssl pkg-config protobuf qt5


git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

cd bitcoin


./autogen.sh

./configure --with-gui=qt5

make

I get the following error:

OBJCXXLD qt/bitcoin-qt

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtNetwork'

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtWidgets'

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtGui'

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtCore'

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtDBus'

clang: error: unknown argument: '-framework QtCore'

make[2]: *** [qt/bitcoin-qt] Error 1

make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

First of all try building a non-GUI bitcoind:

make clean

./configure --without-gui

make

This will solve your error.
