Quark mining on Alternative Platform (NOT Intel/AMD)

[xplorr]

This topic is for exchange of experience of mining on platforms, different from x86 and x86_64

Interesting platform:

AIX (IBM POWER)     SOLARIS (SUN SPARK)    HP-UX (ITANIUM)

HI to all.

I try to compile minerd for SPARK platform.

Hardware: SPARK T5-2
OS : Solaris 11.1

Source minerd: https://github.com/palmd/Cp3u

Maybe somebody had experience?

Currently have a problem in step "make"

Code:

ld: fatal: symbol referencing errors. No output written to minerd
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `minerd'
Current working directory /usr/local/src/qrk/minerd/cpuminer-2.3.2-quarkcoin-src-dist
*** Error code 1
The following command caused the error:
fail= failcom='exit 1'; \
for f in x $MAKEFLAGS; do \
  case $f in \
    *=* | --[!k]*);; \
    *k*) failcom='fail=yes';; \
  esac; \
done; \
dot_seen=no; \
target=`echo all-recursive | sed s/-recursive//`; \
list='compat'; for subdir in $list; do \
  echo "Making $target in $subdir"; \
  if test "$subdir" = "."; then \
    dot_seen=yes; \
    local_target="$target-am"; \
  else \
    local_target="$target"; \
  fi; \
  (CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd $subdir && make  $local_target) \
  || eval $failcom; \
done; \
if test "$dot_seen" = "no"; then \
  make  "$target-am" || exit 1; \
fi; test -z "$fail"
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all-recursive'
Current working directory /usr/local/src/qrk/minerd/cpuminer-2.3.2-quarkcoin-src-dist
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `all'

Thank you all for answers

wish i could help - i have used that miner but have next to zero experience with SOLARIS .

If all else fails check dependencies ?  try Stack exchange?

[xplorr]

Good afternoon.

With dependencies there is a nuance.

When I run the autogen.sh, an error occurs:

Code:

configure.ac:15: installing `./compile'
configure.ac:4: installing `./config.guess'
configure.ac:4: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:6: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:6: installing `./missing'
compat/jansson/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'
configure.ac:114: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.

Line 114 in configure.ac is:

Code:

LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,
  [AC_MSG_ERROR([Missing required libcurl >= 7.15.2])])

In my system I have :

• curl 7.21.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.11)
• libcurl/7.21.2
• OpenSSL/1.0.0k
• zlib/1.2.3-T4mods
• libidn/1.19

I can comment out the check libcurl in file configure.ac:
After editing configure.ac,  autogen.sh running  without errors.
I can move on to the next step.

./configure

Then I run make and have a problem, like in first post.

What do you mean when talking about "try Stack exchange"?

Thank you so much.

ok before we mess this topic up i meant try stack overflow  - http://stackoverflow.com/

post your question here and some nice coder may help you .   you could just link to this topic or cut your errors into the forum there.

obviously you need to sign up but in this case i think its well worth it. : )

here is a link to Tag Solaris  https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/solaris

maybe post your system specs - as per here also i.e your dependencies and versions , hope you get an answer.
