Title: HELP setx: command not found -- --scrypt: unrecognized option
Post by: boondock66 on December 17, 2013, 09:12:46 PM
hi, just setup my miner, but im having some problems with cgminer

running : ubuntu 12.04.03
catalyst 13.11 beta v9.4
amd-app-sdk v2.9
adl-sdl v6
cgminer 3.7

when i enter --scrypt or --thread-congruency or --lookup-gap cgminer wont load

it says:  [2013-12-17 21:01:18] ./cgminer: --scrypt: unrecognized option

if i delete these parts  it will start but rather than saying kh/s it says MH/s

can anyone also give me some pointers to make a config file for ubuntu do i save as .sh rather than .bat? im guessing there is more to it

seems like im stuck at the last hurdle,

any help greatly appreciated!!!

Cgminer 3.7. what?

3.7.2 is the last version that supports --scrypt if you're higher than 3.7.2 that might be your problem.


To make a config file you can save your file as .sh if you like (it really doesn't matter what extension you give it) then after you save it you need to

chmod +x (yourfilename) 

to make it executable.
