Hi,

I have problem to compile cgminer
Could you help me.

My system is FreeBSD 8.x

I have install all dependencies.
When i execute "./configure --with-system-libusb --enable-icarus", all works fine., i obtain this output:

Code:

It will only build with gcc. Are you trying to build with a different compiler?

[evolvia31]

No,
I use gcc:

Code:

It's been a lot of years since I ran FreeBSD, but as I recall, the default 'make' command they use is BSD-specific and not compatible in all ways with the Gnu make that comes with GCC, so you typically have to tell it to use gmake explicitly when using some Gnu make makefiles.  I think if you type 'MAKE=gmake; gmake' it will probably work.

Hi, thanks to your help

I try with gmake compilation some files are compiled but i have this error now:

It seems cgminer wants to link against libdl, which does not exist on FreeBSD.  Usually programs that use libdl are looking for functions that are built into libc on FreeBSD, so if you just remove the references to libdl from the makefile it will probably compile and run just fine.

It looks like compiling cgminer on FreeBSD is not going to be a trivial task.  I would be glad to help you through it, but I haven't had a FreeBSD box in some years, so I really can't.  I think your options are these:

1) There may actually be a FreeBSD port for CGMiner that already exists.  If so, that is clearly the best way to build it.

2) If not, download the Linux binary and run it.  The FreeBSD Linux emulation is very good, and I'd be surprised if it didn't work just fine.

3) Get onto the FreeBSD ports mailing lists/forums and ask around.  I would be surprised if no FreeBSD users are using cgminer, and some of them can probably help you get it compiled.  Maybe you can inspire someone to create a port and add it to the ports tree.

Code:

Making all in compat
Making all in jansson-2.5
"Makefile", line 825: Need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

line 825 of compat/jansson-2.5

Code:

# These flags are gcc specific
export AM_CFLAGS = -Wall -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement

Your version of make does not understand the 'export' statement.
The jansson-2.5 directory is the only Makefile that uses it, so perhaps
you can disable jansson or find an equivalent to 'export' in bsd make.

Ok thank you to your help.
I can't compile it.

there are too many code incompatibility.

I try to compile bfgminer i can have more chance

There isn't any ports to miner software in FreeBSD ports only one port to bitcoin software.

Why not just run a Linux binary?  FreeBSD has excellent Linux emulation.

i don't find the cgminer linux binary 32 bits on the website

Well, hell, I guess you're right

[evolvia31]

bfgminer compilation works fine

I can install it and launch it but it didn't detect my usb erupter

I'm very damned

if you have any idea

i don't find the cgminer linux binary 32 bits on the website

To run the binary on a foreign system, it probably needs to be statically linked.

The FreeBSD Linux compatibility layer includes dynamic libraries.  A given binary may require that you also install any non-standard dynamic libraries required by that binary, of course.

cgminer will only recognize  one of my GPUs. Going on a suggestion from someone, I used the --no-adl argument. Now, it seems adl is permanently disabled. How can I re-enable it?

[erk]

Is there any way to disable the 5min pool stability check that was introduced in 3.5.1? It's playing havoc with multi pools that auto switch to the most profitable coin periodically, as the switch interrupts the stratum for 15-20sec which invokes the 5min stability check.

GPU support is not available for cgminer, and the authors only support the newest version of cgminer.
