Building

BitShares requires a 64-bit operating system to build

BitShares requires a Boost version in the range [1.58, 1.69]. Versions earlier than 1.58 or newer than 1.69 are NOT supported. If your system Boost version is newer, then you will need to manually build an older version of Boost and specify it to CMake using -DBOOST_ROOT:

cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=~/boost160 .
