Title: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: acaciosc on May 28, 2016, 04:19:30 PM I'm trying to follow these instructions:
On Ubuntu AMD http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/ download: ADL_SDK8.zip and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh ./AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh ln -s /opt/AMDAPPSDK-2.9-1 /opt/AMDAPP ln -s /opt/AMDAPP/include/CL /usr/include ln -s /opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/* /usr/lib/ ldconfig reboot apt-get install fglrx-updates // wget, tar, opencl sudo aticonfig --adapter=all --initial sudo aticonfig --list-adapters * 0. 01:00.0 AMD Radeon R9 200 Series * - Default adapter But it does not explain how to install ADL SDK. I wonder why the developers didn't explain this one. It seems as if they really enjoyed to make people upset. https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/wiki/Mining Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: jackg on May 28, 2016, 04:23:12 PM Have you tried coming up with it youself.
such as: Code: ./configue OR what about: Code: sudo apt-get install ADL Or try googling it? However, it may have already installed by the code taht you have previously run? Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: acaciosc on May 28, 2016, 04:41:19 PM Have you tried coming up with it youself. such as: Code: ./configue Yes. "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory" Quote OR what about: Code: sudo apt-get install ADL Yes. "E: Unable to locate package ADL" Quote Or try googling it? However, it may have already installed by the code taht you have previously run? Yes. Something else? Or just trying to make me even more upset? It's funny... they are able to develop Ethereum, but apparently can't simply explain things correctly. Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: acaciosc on May 28, 2016, 08:07:55 PM *BUMP!*
Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: QuintLeo on May 29, 2016, 07:32:52 AM download: ADL_SDK8.zip and AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh ./AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-1.599.381-GA-linux64.sh At which point the SDK is installed. Quote I wonder why the developers didn't explain this one. It seems as if they really enjoyed to make people upset. You're trying to make it complicated, in this case it's actually VERY simple. *NOT* like installing the fglrx DRIVERS can be a PITA and a bit complicated, with all the dependencies and such....

It's funny... they are able to develop Ethereum, but apparently can't simply explain things correctly. Did you try these separately? Code: sudo apt-get install ADL Code: sudo apt-get install SDK Code: sudo apt-get install ADLSDK That was the intention as to how they should be run. The site seems badly sorted for information, I'd suggest finding a script in the folder you downloaded and trying to run that. When finding an executable script: Code: ls -l Code: -X Try also to intall it from a GUI OR Try to find the release notes on the badly organised site, I think that is about half way down and is a button that says release notes. The GitHub repositary doesn't seem to have a "README" file. Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip?

Title: Re: How to install ADL_SDK9.zip? Post by: QuintLeo on May 31, 2016, 07:00:48 AM If you have to COMPILE the miner from source, in some cases you have to install the SDK.
As a MINIMUM for every miner software I've seen under LINUX, you need some of the header files that are normally included in the SDK (but there are alternate sources for those header files in some cases). Installing the SDK should NEVER be a "negative" or "cause issues" with a miner program, unless it's enough to bump you free drive space into "too small" range - but if your drive it THAT marginal on space, you should be using a bigger drive anyway.

The thing I read said it could "muck up the library links." Maybe they meant the process of installing it itself could cause problems. |
