bitcoin compile (.undefined reference to `BlockAssembler::BlockAssembler(CChainParams const&)')

I'm getting error after make command like,

undefined reference to `BlockAssembler::BlockAssembler(CChainParams const&)'

and in last

Makefile:774: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed

make: **[all-recursive] Error 1

I have followed all steps given here:-

How to solve this error and compile bitcoin source code successfully?

Solution

  • This tutorial helped me to solve the issue.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0A91Yx9juQ

    By, Following Unix build notes,

    https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-UNIX.md

    and downloading needed dependencies can solve the problem. I think problem occurred due to bad installation of Berkeley DB, and so i have remove all old files and then again followed steps from build-UNIX.md.

    and download dependencies which are,

    sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils python3  

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libevent-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-chrono-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-thread-dev

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libdb4.8-dev libdb4.8++-dev

    This worked for me. Thank you!
