Title: Updating CGMINER in BAMT 1.1+ Scrypt build Post by: vesperwillow on September 05, 2013, 01:53:46 PM Forgive me if this is the wrong forum.
I use BAMT 1.1 on some rigs for scrypt mining. It has cgminer 3.1. I'd like to update it. Is it as easy as just gitcloning and compiling like normal, or are there any special tricks because it's BAMT?

Just curious. I run BAMT 0.5c, but with the instructions found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127622.0 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=127622.0) I was able to update the regular BAMT, and just enable scrypt from there (as well as USB support for Avalons, Erupters, and BFL devices).

https://forum.litecoin.net/index.php/topic,2924.msg44380.html#msg44380 Essentially it was as easy as git cloning to a different directory, compiling with the options I wanted, and then Lantis (from litecoin forum) suggested to keep it simple by modifying the common.pl script to point to the new cgminer. I liked this method because if something went wrong, you can simply comment a line out and get back to mining. The system is now enjoying cgminer 3.4.2 (thanks ckolivas/kano!) with slightly increased performance.
