Ecoball Node

Ecoball Node is the Official Rust implementation of the Ecoball protocol. It is a fork of OpenEthereum - https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum and EVM compabile.

Building

1. Build Dependencies

Ecoball requires latest stable Rust version to build.

We recommend installing Rust through rustup. If you don't already have rustup, you can install it like this:

• Linux:

  $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

  Ecoball also requires clang (>= 9.0), clang++, pkg-config, file, make, and cmake packages to be installed.

• OSX:

  $ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

  clang is required. It comes with Xcode command line tools or can be installed with homebrew.

• Windows: Make sure you have Visual Studio 2015 with C++ support installed. Next, download and run the rustup installer from https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup/dist/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/rustup-init.exe, start "VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt", and use the following command to install and set up the msvc toolchain:

  $ rustup default stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Once you have rustup installed, then you need to install:

• Perl
• Yasm

Make sure that these binaries are in your PATH. After that, you should be able to build Ecoball from source.

2. Build from Source Code

# download Ecoball code
$ git clone https://github.com/ecoball/ecoball
$ cd ecoball

# build in release mode
$ cargo build --release --features final

This produces an executable in the ./target/release subdirectory.

Note: if cargo fails to parse manifest try:

$ ~/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release

Note, when compiling a crate and you receive errors, it's in most cases your outdated version of Rust, or some of your crates have to be recompiled. Cleaning the repository will most likely solve the issue if you are on the latest stable version of Rust, try:

$ cargo clean

This always compiles the latest nightly builds. If you want to build stable, do a

$ git checkout stable

3. Starting Ecoball

Manually

To start Ecoball manually, just run

$ ./target/release/ecoball

so Ecoball begins syncing the Ecoball blockchain.

4. Testing

Download the required test files: git submodule update --init --recursive. You can run tests with the following commands:

• All packages

  cargo test --all
  

• Specific package

  cargo test --package 
       
  
       

You can show your logs in the test output by passing --nocapture (i.e. cargo test --package evmbin -- --nocapture)
