| # updated for 3 July 2021 versions (specifically 4.8 Berkeley DB that failed to compile) | |
| # there are a few tradeoffs for this approach: Bitcoin Core seems to require Berkeley DB 4.8 for portable wallets (makes sense) | |
| # this script is intended for a node to support the network and not to act as a wallet, so portability isn't an issue | |
| # so, we compile with --with-incompatible-bdb | |
| # we could avoid this problem by installing earlier versions of apt-get packages instead of the latest versions, but | |
| # that would take a lot of time to track down specific versions |
