Vanitygen: Vanity bitcoin address generator/miner [v0.22]

[BitcoinHoarder]

I really want to install this thing... can anyone help me??

I created issue on github but no comments or anything...

when I type make I get this.

user@JLaptop:~/MyPrograms/VanityAddr/vanitygen-master$ make
cc -ggdb -O3 -Wall -c -o vanitygen.o vanitygen.c
vanitygen.c:26:25: fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [vanitygen.o] Error 1

Do you have openssl installed?

You need the openssl headers installed, depending on the distro it would normally be a package like "openssl-dev" or "libssl-dev"

Thanks... I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I thought I had openssl installed, because if I typed "openssl version" there was an output...

anyway I also installed this libssl-dev (there was no package openssl-dev) and now I get a little different output...

user@JLaptop:~/MyPrograms/VanityAddr/vanitygen-master$ make
cc -ggdb -O3 -Wall   -c -o vanitygen.o vanitygen.c

pattern.c:32:18: fatal error: pcre.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [pattern.o] Error 1

any ideas..?

You also need the "libpcre3-dev" package, or some similar one (don't recall now). It isn't clear about this in the INSTALL help file but I guess the dev expects everyone has most of this already installed. These dev packages usually have the header file (*.h) so any time you see a message about missing h files it's usually some dev package missing.

Whoa!! This is the first time in my life that I successfully executed make command... usually I don't even get through ./configure  

Thanks guys!

btw for future reference, and any onlookers, if you get "something.h missing" type messages one way I use to find out what package is needed is to use the apt-cache command to locate one suitable.

eg. pcre.h seems to be missing

apt-cache search pcre

This looks at the packages available and lists ones containing pcre. By looking thru that list you can often figure out which one is needed. In this case you want something with lib, dev, and C since the program is written in C. Give it a try.

I'm using Linux for 5 / 6 years now, and everyday I learn something new. But compiling stuff from source was always a pain in the ass..

will definitely look at this thread the next time I play with ./configure, make, make install...

I used Gentoo for a year and a half. Took me 6 tries to finally get an install that was usable haha! It's still my favorite distro, in a "I love you, but if you fuck me up one more time Ima throw you out the window" kinda way.

Unfortunately, some programs are Windooze only, and I just found a dual boot to be a PITA, so I stopped using it.

That's what virtualbox is for.
I mean running Windows under linux, of course, not the reverse.

IIRC, games don't run that great in a virtualized windows installation?

This pisses me off! Corp. Software is windooze only because of the lazy and ignorant users! There will be games for linux and of course Photoshop for linux but not before you all change some ways. On the other hand ... things are changing.. Microsoft's rule is ending and it is going down.. So probably there is a better tomorrow...

I say:
 - f*** windoz
 - f*** micro$oft
 - f*** wine
 - every piece of software should be packaged for linux

And for all those who still are on the dark side: Micro$oft was created by Bill Gates. Bill Gates is a nazi. Bill Gates wants you dead... all of us... If you don't believe me ... do some research.

PS: I hope my post is not to hardcore

Wine doesnt always work. I've gotten it to work some some older games, but I've also had it bug out on me plenty. In short, you can't trust it to work 100% of the time.

And I'm not even going to respond to jl.

well, if something dosnt work then there are enough ppl to help u get it running. there is a wiki with hacks/tweaks/etc so there is enough informations, not even to talk about the devs @ the bugtracker (including me).

This is getting a lil OT, but if I do decide to get swtor working in Wine, i'll PM ya. In the mean time, I'd rather have Oclvanitygen fixed so it can work on my 7970 without the -S flag!

..trying vanitypool at the moment.
On windows (not mine! heh) I get this error:

oclvanityminer64.exe -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 1xxx
Get work request failed: Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates

edit: it's "vanitygen-0.22-win.zip", with the executables inside and the .pem cert..

Any hints?
Will check in a second on my linux..

edit2:
What dependencies does oclvanityminer have on linux..? I installed

Code:

libpcre3 libpcre3-dev libssl-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev

so far.. still have

Code:

oclengine.c:37:19: error: CL/cl.h

now.. *sigh*
