Porting to macOS

Question

Hello,

Would you have any recommendations for someone who was thinking of attempting to port Multichain to macOS, now that the source is out?

Thanks!

Answer 1

MultiChain is a fork of Bitcoin Core, so you should start by taking a look at the compile process for that. The only code we've changed which is OS-specific is the auto-discovery of the node's IP address, but apart from that the cross-compilation should be quite straightforwards. We also plan to complete the Mac OS port ourselves in the next few months.

Okay thank you, seems like a good place to start. I consider the race on ;)
