Basic *nix build instructions:
|
|
|
|
|
To build with GPU mining support:
|
|
|
|
|
Install AMD APP sdk, latest version - there is no official place to
|
|
|
|
|
install it so just keep track of where it is if you're not installing
|
|
|
|
|
the include files and library files into the system directory.
|
|
|
|
|
(Do NOT install the ati amd sdk if you are on nvidia)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to install the ATI AMD SPP sdk on linux is to actually put it
|
|
|
|
|
into a system location. Then building will be simpler. Download the correct
|
|
|
|
|
version for either 32 bit or 64 bit from here:
|
|
|
|
|
http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will give you a file with a name like AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sudo su
|
|
|
|
|
cd /opt
|
|
|
|
|
tar xf /path/to/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
cd /
|
|
|
|
|
tar xf /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/icd-registration.tgz
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/CL /usr/include
|
|
|
|
|
ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/
|
|
|
|
|
ldconfig
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are on 32 bit, x86_64 in the 2nd last line should be x86
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To actually build:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
|
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -march=native" ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
or if you haven't installed the ati files in system locations:
|
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -march=native -I<path to AMD APP include>" LDFLAGS="-L<path to AMD APP lib/x86_64> ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it finds the opencl files it will inform you with
|
|
|
|
|
"OpenCL: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic WIN32 build instructions (on Fedora 13; requires mingw32):
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
|
|
|
|
|
rm -f mingw32-config.cache
|
|
|
|
|
MINGW32_CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" mingw32-configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
./mknsis.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Native WIN32 build instructions (on mingw32, on windows):
|
|
|
|
|
Install AMD APP sdk, latest version
|
|
|
|
|
(Do NOT install the ati amd sdk if you are on nvidia)
|
|
|
|
|
Install mingw32
|
|
|
|
|
Install libcurl, copy libcurl.m4 into /mingw/share/aclocal
|
|
|
|
|
Run:
|
|
|
|
|
autoreconf -fvi
|
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2 -I<path to AMD APP include>" LDFLAGS="-L<path to AMD APP lib/x86>" ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
