Merge #20202: wallet: Make BDB support optional

71e40b33bd RPC: Require descriptors=True for createwallet when BDB is not compiled (Andrew Chow)
6ebc41bf9c Enforce salvage is only for BDB wallets (Andrew Chow)
a58b719cf7 Do not compile BDB things when USE_BDB is defined (Andrew Chow)
b33af48210 Include wallet/bdb.h where it is actually being used (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Adds a `--without-bdb` option to `configure` which disables the compilation of the BDB stuff. Legacy wallets will not be created when BDB is not compiled. A legacy-sqlite wallet can be loaded, but we will not create them.

  Based on #20156 to resolve the situation where both `--without-sqlite` and `--without-bdb` are provided. In that case, the wallet is disabled and `--disable-wallet` is effectively set.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
