Building

Find here instructions for building the Wallet Core library locally.
Platforms
The following target platforms are supported:
iOS (Swift language is used)
Android
Wasm (Emscripten)
The following development platforms are supported:
macOS: is the primary development platform, as it supports compiling for both target platforms.
Linux: is supported as a development platform if you only need to build C++ and Wasm targets.
Build Methods
Wallet Core can be build inside a Docker image, or natively.
Inside Docker image: This way is easier to get the prerequisites, as they are all inside a Docker image. However, all building has to be done inside the Docker image.
Natively, in your dev OS (macOS, Linux).
Prerequisites
Here is the list of required prerequisites.
Prerequisites on macOS
CMake brew install cmake
Boost brew install boost
Xcode
Xcode command line tools: xcode-select --install
Ruby brew install ruby
Other tools: brew install git ninja autoconf automake libtool xcodegen clang-format ccache cocoapods
​Android Studio​
​Android NDK​
Rust: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Prerequisites on Linux
Ubuntu as a example:
Various essential packages sudo apt-get install build-essential libtool autoconf pkg-config ninja-build ccache
Clang sudo apt-get install clang-14 llvm-14 libc++-dev libc++abi-dev
Ruby sudo apt-get install ruby-full
Boost sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
CMake sudo apt-get install cmake or (from https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/releases)
​Android Studio​
Rust: curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
Managed Prerequisites
Additionally, the following prerequisites are also needed, but they are managed by Wallet Core. The script tools/install-dependencies downloads and compiles them (see below).
Google test (gtest)
libcheck
nolhmann json
Protobuf
Full Build
The full build can be triggered with one top-level script:
./bootstrap.sh
Or, broken up in smaller steps:
## Linux
./tools/install-sys-dependencies-linux
​
## MacOS
./tools/install-sys-dependencies-mac
​
./tools/install-dependencies
./tools/install-rust-dependencies
This script downloads and compiles some prerequisites.
./tools/generate-files
This script generates source files, coin- and protobuf files. Needs to be re-run whenever registry.json or protobuf files are changed.
cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
make -Cbuild
Standard CMake and make commands for building the library. The cmake command needs to be re-run whenever a new source file is added.
After build, unit tests can be executed:
./build/tests/tests tests --gtest_filter=*
The generate-cmake-make-test steps are also available together in one script:
./tools/build-and-test
If you'd rather use and IDE for building and debugging you can specify the -G option to cmake. For instance to use Xcode call cmake -Bxcode -GXcode -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug and use the generated project in the xcode folder.
Wasm building
Install Emscripten SDK (emsdk):
`tools/install-wasm-dependencies`
Activate emsdk:
`source emsdk/emsdk_env.sh`
Build Wasm:
tools/wasm-build
Run Wasm tests:
cd wasm
npm install && npm run copy:wasm && npm run build
npm run test
Testing Rust library
Rust library can be tested separately from the C++ part.
cd rust
cargo test
Checking Rust lints
We use rustfmt, clippy to check if the Rust code is formatted and does not contain common warnings/errors.
Run Rust lints:
./tools/rust-lints
Building inside Docker image
Here are the instructions to build Wallet Core with the provided Dockerfile.
Prerequisite is a working Docker installation.
The command for building the Docker image:
docker build docker/wallet-core --tag wallet-core-dev
Then launch the container:
docker run -i -t wallet-core-dev /bin/bash
Inside the container the build commands can be executed (as described above; note that install-dependencies is not necessary):
cd wallet-core
./tools/build-and-test
Executing inside Docker image
The Docker image also contains a pre-built, runnable version of the library, so it is possible to run it, 'toy around' with it without any building. Note: this may not be the most recent version!
Unit tests and wallet console utility can be executed straight from this Docker image:
docker run -i -t trustwallet/wallet-core
cd wallet-core
./build/tests/tests tests
./build/walletconsole/walletconsole
exit
Linux
Building on Linux is possible, it requires some extra work. If you have access to macOS we highly recommend developing on that platform. Using the Docker image is also recommended. Otherwise, the prerequisites have to be installed manually. We recommend using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, same as Wallet Core CI.
Unit tests with Coverage
For executing tests locally with coverage measurement, some extra cmake settings are needed; see section on coverage instructions.
All CMake options
We enable these options on CI: -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DTW_UNITY_BUILD=ON -DTW_CODE_COVERAGE=ON -DTW_ENABLE_CLANG_TIDY=ON -DTW_CLANG_ASAN=ON
