OLD: BFGMiner 3.10.0: modular ASIC+FPGA, GBT+Strtm, RPC, Mac/Lnx/W64, AntU1, DRB

[BitMinerN8]

I compiled bfgminer 3.0.1 for Ubuntu and when I start it I get the command line version not the display version.  Any help would be great. 

To my knowledge, there is only one version that looks like this in a terminal window, there is no GUI version.
Sample output:

There's a GUI version of BFGMiner?

No, I don't think so. It's only ever been running in a terminal window.

See dependencies at the top of README. Especially the part about ncurses.

[purelithium]

I'm curious, why have you decided not to include the FPGA bitstreams in the windows binaries anymore?

Makes the download much larger, mainly, and most miners don't need them.
Seemed reasonable to have the few who do continue using the bitstreams they already have, or download them as the separate ZIP.

NEW VERSION 3.0.2, APRIL 28 2013

Human readable changelog:

• Fix stratum on Windows.

Full changelog

• Receive failures in recv_line should unconditionally fail.
• Use sock_blocks function for stratum send and receive.
• Avoid applog under stratum_lock in __stratum_send.
• Create an OS specific sock_blocks function.
• There should be no error response code with return value 0 in recv_line.
• Check for errors on stratum recv for any recv return value less than 1 and only parse the response if it's positive.
• Avoid applog under stratum_lock in recv_line.

THX ! nice
i can finally go back to bfgminer hope no more errors

edit after 8h: and it crashed on gpu instance.
fpga still works but i could read something happened with pools then bfgminer with gpu crashed

Code:

 [2013-04-28 22:31:23] Stratum connection to pool 3 interrupted
 [2013-04-28 22:31:23] Stratum connect succeeded, but technical problem extracti
ng socket (pool 3)
 [2013-04-28 22:31:24] Stratum from pool 2 requested work update

edit few mins later
fpga are now down too ://

Has anyone been able to run bfgminer on a Windows XP 32bit OS?  Will it run?
when I run bfgminer with no switches I get:

"All devices disabled. cannot mine!"

Would this mean that the ASIC USB driver is not installed?

Thanks,

Probably, does Device Manager show it installed?

[wksantiago]

Its not installed so that is probably why!  I will update once I can see it in device manager.
Thanks,

Will the quantal version run on raring, or do I need to wait for a release for 13.04?

You'll have to build from source for now.

[alpha_one_x86]

And no build for mac?

[Geremia]

And no build for mac?

Macs can easily build from the source, assuming you have the developer tools installed. (I don't think they come with gcc etc. installed by default.)

And no build for mac?

Check out my post here for getting bfgminer going on OS X.

[alpha_one_x86]

I have no screen on my mac, homebrow seam complex to install, I have 10.6, then I need curl...
Just provide simple package is very more simple for me.

It's not that simple or binaries would already be available. You need the right libraries as well, which is why Homebrew or an installer are necessary. I think, either way, you're going to have a hard time getting it going on 10.6. There's a Mac app and installer in beta here, but it requires 10.8.
