Title: Monero VPS mining - Help!!!
Post by: OBAViJEST on May 10, 2015, 12:22:56 AM
Hi guys,

I can't seem to successfully begin mining for XMR.  I'm running a google VM, (ubuntu 14.04) installed everything through Monero Essentials.  I did everything here:

Code:
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install screen;sudo apt-get install git;sudo apt-get install build-essential;sudo apt-get install pkg-config;sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev;sudo apt-get install automake

wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;tar -xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;cd curl-7.34.0/;./configure --disable-shared --enable-static;make -j 4;sudo make install;cd ..

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi;cd cpuminer-multi;./autogen.sh;./configure;make -j 4

although when typing
Code:
./autogen.sh


I'm returned with

Code:
Makefile.am:12: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')

which I haven't been able to figure out a solution to.  I've tried starting from scratch and re-making everything, but I'm no professional.  Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?  Alternatively, I'll accept any links to guides for VPS mining that are fairly recent - any coin acceptable!

Thanks in advance...I've been ripping my hair out for hours now ???

edit: most of the guides I've found are out of date, which is why I'm willing to try setting up a miner from scratch, as long as the coin has a good community supporting it!

when I set up a VPS for mining, I used this

Code:
cd ~ && rm -f install_monero.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quanttek/install_monero/master/install_monero.sh && bash install_monero.sh

and just selected the option to install the standalone miner. Worked fine.
