Actually, in in the correct place, since im working on getting a BitFury working with the current cgminer.
Awesome, open the file called README.txt that's begging you to read it and look for the part where it says "SETTING UP USB DEVICES" That's exactly what I did to solve the problem. The problem was left over COM port drivers, so the miner defaulted to a COM port instead of a USB device. After the driver update, your software worked perfectly and the little miner is hashing away at between 1-2 GHs, which is like 10x faster than my entire Scrypt ASIC farm, at much less power. Im trying to do the math to figure if that will result in 10x revenue improvement, but it's confusing doing all the conversions. Scrypt algorithm is effectively by design about 1000x slower so no. If it's going 10x faster on bitcoin then you're actually going 100x slower. Bummer, I was hoping that I was going to get 10x the earnings from this little board compared to my 5KW Scrypt farm which cost a bazillion dollars... Anyhow, ill watch the returns and estimate my LTC->BTC conversion to see how they compare. It seems to me from recent reading that I may be better off with BTC ASICs than with Scrypt ASICs in the long-run. That's what im trying to figure out.

Zeus Miner guys forked CGMINER but they deleted autogen.sh in the process, I don't know why. I'm not a Linux expert but I'm trying to build this under Ubuntu 12.04 x86 64 bits.
Then you're in the wrong place. You need to seek support from the maintainers of your fork. This is the support thread only for mining bitcoin on the official cgminer. I'm not seeking information on Zeus specifics but just general information on how to build CGMINER without autogen.sh. Is it too much to ask from the community? If you have the knowledge to build this thing under Ubuntu I bet it took you the same or more effort to push me back.

He does but there are better places to ask which don't have him answering question for non supported equipment  . I'm almost certain if Zeus forked to do there own thing they can answer for themselves. @Ckolivias, hopefully this answer is within your moderating guidelines  1-2 Ghs is not going to make your bitcoin dreams come true. Look for a site named [I think] bitcoinwisdom.com . I've never played with another site called genesis block but this site a nice table interface to experiment with. You need like a terrahash (1000Ghs without rounding) to dust anything big and that was half a coin a month and I still haven't looked into how many actual blocks exist still. Any other questions on this matter go in the economic section of bitcoin or something or section

Check the read me in github its probably been covered in my search to compile for windows . Its here somewhere you may just have to write the rest if it gets you in the right direction.

I am a little lost here, did not see any post option so I am using reply, if I am in the wrong place please give me a hint where I can get help. My question is, do I have to install IIS to link cgminer to bitcoin-qt? I am asking because I see the " http://localhost:8332" part on the command line I will use. I am using W7 64 with bitcoin core 0.9.2.1 and cgminer-win0.31 with 2 ASIC devices. Just want to solo-mining for a while to test and learn how it works. I will use the following command line: cgminer.exe -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address FirstReceivingAddressfrombitcoinqt --rmu-freq 270

Hi ckolivas! Look, I'm running cgminer 4.4.1 and I'm getting "Failed to sem_timedwait errno=22 cgsem=0x0x7f030dff8270 in usbutils.c callback_wait():2766" a lot, lately.

Let me reply myself now that have all together.
ok, everything looks in place, bitcoin-qt started as server and cgminer found the hardware and able to get into the server with the provided username and password.

If you followed the setup and provided an address I assume you'd see it in you wallet "if" you complete a block. If you decide to mine for the bitcoin after your experiment join a pool. You might be able to get .01 a week with 180Ghs. If you want to try solo mining try something like julecoin. Probably the same setup for straight bitcoining(meaning you have to sell them into bitcoin) and a whole lot less difficulty[and I'm not mining it  ].

I dunno what the heck an RMU is since there's no such device in the main cgminer code... but anyway if you see a hashrate in the real cgminer code it means it is finding shares internally so therefore you know it's mining (no idea if your fork driver is confirming it's finding work or just reporting what it thinks it's working at sorry). You can always try it on a local testnet to see if you find a block...

Yes that looks correct for solo mining. You are successfully mining at ~64GH worth of valid work and that is the only message you'll get unless you find a block.

Thank you for your help and patient.
Is port 8333 used for something specific on Bitcoin?
Asking because Inbound traffic from the Russian Federation to my computer using that port, I am blocking because not sure what the intention is.

That's the port your Bitcon-QT connects to the network with and downloads the blockchain on. If you block it your client won't work.
