Thank for this very good work Sylon.

2 questions please :

1) Ubuntu/GCC version :
Do you think this tuto will work with Ubuntu 16.04 (compiler GCC 5.xx) or only with Ubuntu 14.04 and earlier (compiler GCC 4.xx) ?
With some precedent try (not your tuto), I had fails with the message that CCMiner is only compatible with GCC 4.xx.

2) Cuda version :
Why do you use Cuda 6.5 ?
Are you sure that the compilation don't work with Cuda 7.5 ?
And what about Cuda 8.0 : GTX 1xxx series are only supported by Cuda 8.0 ?

[QuintLeo]

GTX 1070 works with CUDA 7.5 version of Genoil and a CUDA 5.x version of QTMiner

 You have it backwards - you can't run CUDA 8 code on anything LESS than a GTX 1xxx card, but the GTX 1xxx cards CAN run older CUDA code - abet they usually won't be as well optimised for it as for more recent code that takes advantage of their new features.

Thanks for pointing this out. Cuda is backwards compatible so newer versions should work for most of the cards used to mine today.

I'd tried the tuto (Ubuntu 16.04, 64 bits, desktop) and I found some small error (probably copy / paste) :

The line "sudo cd /opt/cuda" (don't work) -> "cd /opt/cuda" (work).
The line "sudo /opt/cuda /cuda_6.5.14_linux_64.run -extract=`pwd`/install-scripts" -> "sudo ./cuda_6.5.14_linux_64.run -extract=`pwd`/install-scripts"
The line "sudo cd /opt/cuda/install-scripts" -> "cd /opt/cuda/install-scripts"
The line "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda/bin" -> "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin"
The line "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/cuda/lib64" -> "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=:/usr/local/cuda-6.5/lib64"

The line "sudo cd ./ccminer-cryptonight-master/" -> "cd ./ccminer-cryptonight-master/"
The line "sudo ./autogen" -> "sudo ./autogen.sh"

In the part of the dependancies in the tuto, libssl-dev is forgoten :
"sudo apt-get install libssl-dev"

At the end, the installation fail in the make command with a error message on the Cuda command missing (but nvcc is installed with a good response to the command nvcc --version : probably the level of compute of the Cuda 6.5 is to low)

The nvcc error is cause by not adding the cuda libraries to you path. Did the above export commands work?

Merci pour vos retours / Thanks for your replies  .

I advanced for the error message during the make command.

The command who make the error is :

nvcc -g -O2 -I . -Xptxas "-abi=no -v" -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_20,compute_20\" -gencode=arch=compute_30,code=\"sm_30,compute_30\" -gencode=arch=compute_35,code=\"sm_35,compute_35\" --maxrregcount=80 --ptxas-options=-v -I./compat/jansson -o cryptonight/cryptonight.o -c cryptonight/cryptonight.cu

The terminal ouput is :

In file included from /usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin/..//include/cuda_runtime.h:59:0,
                 from <command-line>:0:
/usr/local/cuda-6.5/bin/..//include/host_config.h:82:2: error: #error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc 4.9 and up are not supported!
 #error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc 4.9 and up are not supported!

One more time, the problem seems to be a problem with the 5.xx GCC version include in Ubuntu 16.04.

I"ll try with a Ubuntu 14.04 version.

When I run the command in the line where is the error :

try installing  gcc 4.7 and g++ 4.7

Code:

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7 g++-4.7

Then tell nvcc to use them:

Code:

export CXX=/usr/bin/g++-4.7
export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.7

Really useful tutorial, added link to this thread on my website in this section: http://monerobechmarks.byethost5.com/tools.php

Hi

Thanks for this tutorial!
But i also got  error message during the make command

This is for Wol0 CPUMiner, not GPU miner.

There are 2 more issues to solve with nvidia GPU Mine under Ubuntu 16.04 (GCC and compute level).
And a other problem is that this miner is 2 years old...
