Full stack Bitcoin software

libbitcoin-build

The libbitcoin libraries: system, database, network, node, server and explorer, and the build.

libbitcoin-build generates the build, CI and install files of the libbitcoin repositories from one XML manifest, so that they stay consistent across the three build systems (autotools, CMake and Visual Studio) and across the repositories. It is a maintainer tool: everything it generates is committed to each repository, so building a library or bs does not require it.
