Build
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
To build Mist (GUI):
|
|
|
|
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist`
|
|
|
|
To build the node (CLI):
|
|
|
|
`go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/ethereum`
|
|
|
|
For further, detailed, build instruction please see the [Wiki](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Building-Ethereum(Go))
|
|
|
|
Automated (dev) builds
|
|
======================
|
|
|
|
* [[OS X](http://build.ethdev.com/builds/OSX%20Go%20develop%20branch/latest/app/)]
|
|
* [Windows] Coming soon™
|
|
* [Linux] Coming soon™

|
Binaries
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Go Ethereum comes with several binaries found in
|
|
[cmd](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/cmd):
|
|
|
|
* `mist` Official Ethereum Browser
|
|
* `ethereum` Ethereum CLI
|
|
* `ethtest` test tool which runs with the [tests](https://github.com/ethereum/testes) suit:
|
|
`ethtest "`cat myfile.json`"`.
|
|
* `evm` is a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine: `evm -code 60ff60ff -gas
|
|
10000 -price 0 -dump`. See `-h` for a detailed description.

Contribution
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to contribute to Ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
|
|
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
|
|
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
|
|
commit on the `develop` branch and that you do not merge to master.
|
|
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
|
|
|
|
To make life easier try [git flow](http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) it sets
|
|
this all up and streamlines your work flow.
|
|
|
|
Coding standards
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Sources should be formatted according to the [Go Formatting
|
|
Style](http://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting).
|
|
|
|
Unless structs fields are supposed to be directly accesible, provide
|
|
Getters and hide the fields through Go's exporting facility.
|
|
|
|
When you comment put meaningfull comments. Describe in detail what you
|
|
want to achieve.
|
|
|
|
*wrong*
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Check if the value at x is greater than y
|
|
if x > y {
|
|
// It's greater!
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Everyone reading the source probably know what you wanted to achieve
|
|
with above code. Those are **not** meaningful comments.
|
|
|
|
While the project isn't 100% tested I want you to write tests non the
|
|
less. I haven't got time to evaluate everyone's code in detail so I
|
|
expect you to write tests for me so I don't have to test your code
|
|
manually. (If you want to contribute by just writing tests that's fine
|
|
too!)
