Howto: Build Bison Wallet 1.0.4 from source on PureOS 11

Most recent .deb package for Bison Wallet 1.0.4 will not launch on PureOS 11 due to missing gcc 14.1.0 or higher requirement.

Here is the error:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.15’ not found (required by bisonw)

Solution is to build bisonw executable from source.

Change to src directory

cd /usr/local/src

Clone the 1.0.4 release branch
git clone --branch v1.0.4 --single-branch https://github.com/decred/dcrdex.git

Install latest version of go

go install golang.org/dl/go1.25.4@latest

build the binary

cd /usr/local/src/dcrdex/client/cmd/bisonw; go build

Copy the binary to bin dir

sudo cp bisonw /usr/local/bin/

Run the binary from the terminal

bisonw
