stellar-core is the backbone of the Stellar network. It maintains a local copy of the ledger, communicating and staying in sync with other instances of stellar-core on the network. Optionally, stellar-core can store historical records of the ledger and participate in consensus.
# To build from a release that already has a configure file:
./configure
make
# Documentation
Documentation is available on-line at the project home page,
<http://xdrpp.github.io/xdrpp/>.
To generate and view a local copy of the documentation, run:
doxygen
xdg-open doc/html/index.html
Finally, if you have neither an Internet connection nor doxygen, a
copy of the documentation can also be found in the `gh-pages` branch
of the repository, which you can access as:
git archive --prefix=www/ origin/gh-pages | bsdtar xf -
xdg-open www/index.html
# Building
To build after a git checkout that doesn't have ./configure, run:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
As is traditional, the software can be installed with
make install
# To enable the cereal test
You need cereal in the top directory (before running `./configure`),
which you can get by running:
git clone https://github.com/USCiLab/cereal.git
(Or make cereal a symlink to an already checked out copy.)
# To enable autocheck tests
You need autocheck in the top directory. Run:
git clone https://github.com/thejohnfreeman/autocheck.git
(Or make autocheck a symlink to an already checked out copy.)
