Are there any instructions available on how to cross compile bfgminer? Just configure with the --host=triplet of your choice and make Eg: ./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 ./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32

Is there a location where it will look for cross compiled versions of its libraries? I have this on by build host: emerge -pv uthash ... [ebuild R ] dev-libs/uthash-1.9.7 USE="{-test}" 0 kB
But I get: ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/tmp/arm-root ... checking for working alloca.h... yes checking for alloca... yes checking whether HASH_ITER is declared... no configure: error: Could not find HASH_ITER - please install uthash-dev 1.9.2+
Do I have to build all the required in a pre-defined location prior to running configure?

Cacti, yes you can You can use rrd if you open the --api-allow --api-listen etc You need to craft a cron script to query status and feed the relevant data to rrdtool see :- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=76502.0its basically the same

I have for others, but for arm-linux-gnueabihf I only have the gcc family of tools. [EDIT] Sorry about the messed up quoting

Good news: I think I have stumbled upon the stratum-went-down-related crash people have been reporting while testing BFGMiner in Valgrind. This should give me enough information to get it fixed in the next release. Ok, I believe this problem should be fixed in the latest git code. For Windows testers... Win32 and Win64 binaries are built (drop them in a directory with 3.0.2 DLLs) As one of the people experiencing these 'crash' issues, I just wanted to mention that I've been running this experimental version for about 3 days straight now. 3 separate clusters. No issues so far. Still too early to conclude anything with certainty, but it *seems* to have solved the issues I've been having with anything post 2.10.x. Just an update to my last post, I've been running 320e7ed on 3 separate Win7 PCs and have experienced a few crashes on each since that time. Just now there was a hiccup on bitminter and 2 of my bfgminer instances crashes simultaneously (one with 14 BFL Singles; another with 16 BFL Singles). A 3rd instance (with 2 BFL Singles) survived the event. I've seen this behavior before; bfgminer seems more stable with fewer devices. So although I feel this latest experimental version is an improvement over its predecessors in terms of stability (crashes are not as frequent), it still has some issues.

NEW VERSION 3.1.0, JUNE 13 2013This release includes numerous merges of contributions by Con & Kano, from cgminer 2.11.0 through 3.2.1. Major merges are noted in the human readable changelog with " cg". Notable exclusions are the libusb rewrites (overall a bad idea), "hotplug" support (not implemented correctly), and "cURL-less" stratum (breaks proxy support, and the underlying bugs they hoped to workaround with it are already fixed in BFGMiner). BFGMiner also continues to use the original, time-tested driver for Butterfly Labs devices, including ASICs, and does not include cgminer's ASIC-specific rewritten "BFLSC" driver in any form. Additionally, there have been many internal code cleanups. Please note that as uthash is now available for most operating systems, it is no longer bundled with BFGMiner. You will need to install the uthash-dev package to compile BFGMiner 3.1+. Human readable changelog:- BitForce: Support for new long-board job-per-chip protocol.
- Reformatted TUI summaries, including percentage of shares rejected or stale.
- Icarus-compatible devices: Autodetect work_division by default (eg, for Block Erupter USB ASICs).
- Avalon: Driver is now compiled in by default, including in official binaries
- Avalon: Will only configure with specific -S avalon:/dev/ttyUSBn option (note the driver name must be included), since there is no reliable probe for it.
- Avalon: Full data for 4-module devices in RPC. cg
- OpenCL: Support for reading temperature from free software radeon drivers via libsensors.
- Fixes for writing configuration files when --device and/or --remove-disabled are specified.
- Faster startup now when pools are slow, connecting to the first pool available! cg
- Adding a pool now from the menu will return quickly while it leaves probing it to the background. cg
- Scrypt: Fixed the failure to create high thread concurrencies. cg
- Scrypt: Intensities above 13 will not lead to garbage being generated on GCN (7xxx) hardware now. cg
- Scrypt: Decreased default GPU threads to 1. Intensities above 13 cannot handle more. cg
- Scrypt: Changed the default choice of thread concurrency if no options are passed as a hint, based on amount of available GPU RAM. cg
- Scrypt: Extensive updates to the SCRYPT-README file in line with changes to the code and new information. cg
- Scrypt: Slightly larger buffer which may lead to less hardware errors on very fast GPUs. cg
- CPU mining: Numerous improvements to portability. Should also work on Windows now, at least.
Full changelog- Bugfix: openwrt: Expect fixed bitstream path for input
- Improve Makefile organization and fix "make install"
- icarus: Upgrade work division autodetection probe to be faster and also detect 8 core
- Calculate rejection percentage based on weighed shares, not absolute counts
- Count weighed discarded (stale) shares per cgpu
- Bugfix: Cleanly count discarded (stale) shares without overlapping devices/sshare locks within clear_stratum_shares
- configure: Enable Avalon support by default now that it behaves reasonably
- avalon: Since detection is not really implemented, only probe devices when the driver is specified to -S by name (eg, "avalon:/dev/ttyUSB0")
- Bugfix: bitforce_queue: Never try to reinitialize a slave processor
- Bugfix: bitforce_queue: Use work_list_del everywhere we remove from work_list to ensure work gets freed properly when done
- Reduce HW error logging to debug level, so it doesn't clutter the TUI log by default
- DevAPI: When a device has more than 26 processors, represent them as aa-zz
- bitforce: bitforce: Fix TUI display of slave processors on parallelized boards
- bitforce: Only display temperature in TUI for the first chip on parallelized boards
- Bugfix: bitforce: Set temperature for all processors on the board
- Bugfix: bitforce_queue: Initialize proc->device_data to board data for parallelized chip processors
- Bugfix: bitforce_queue: Defer nonce count check until after thiswork has been identified (or handled as NULL)
- avalon: avalon_clear_readbuf can simply wait for a single read timeout on Windows to avoid select
- avalon: Simplify avalon_get_result by using avalon_gets
- avalon: Go back to good old serial timeouts for gets, since select() is for sockets (only, on Windows)
- Updated api.c to return the hashrate with 3 decimal places
- Change hashrate display to never display 3 fractional digits, because it looks a bit ugly
- bitforce: Credit hashrate to the correct chip on parallelized devices
- Re-set work thr_id on share submissions, to ensure the result gets credited to the correct device in case of shared job queues (as in BitForce long boards)
- bitforce: Turn parallelization into separate logical processors for more details on each, including working with XLink
- bitforce_queue: Implement job sanity checks using new "ZqX" for devices using parallelization
- bitforce_queue: Minimal support for parallelization
- Add --device-protocol-dump option to debuglog low-level bitforce protocol details
- When shutting down, set work restart flag (and trigger notifier) to help mining threads escape to their main minerloop (and check for shutdown)
- Document and check for uthash version 1.9.2+

Running 3.1.0 with a bunch of Erupters.
The good news is that the switch from 3.0.2 to 3.1.0 was painless.
The bad news is 3.1.0 reports more hardware errors in MY setup than 3.0.2 (Win 7, x64).
Still few percentage lower than cgmienr 3.1.1 but higher than bfgminer 3.0.2.
I'll monitor it a bit longer to see if it settles down...

After about 1000 accepts, 3.1.0 shows about the same HW error count as 3.0.2. (Running Erupters on Win 7x64)
Initially, it was higher, it settled down after a while.

Hi,
Just a few issues. version 3.1.0 crashes when running on my Win7 64bit. Had to go back to 3.0.3. It seems to work good.
I would like to run BFGMiner 3.1.0 on my linux computer. I am not that familiar with linux. I have tried to compile it on my linux mint debian edition but get an error when using make. "No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop." Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Something is wrong with the w64 build. It crashes after starting on my AMD A10-5800K and my AMD E2-1800. The w32 build and the old 3.0.99 w64 build are without problems.
