OFFICIAL CGMINER mining software thread for linux/win/osx/mips/arm/r-pi 4.11.1

[gt_addict]

Well all of a sudden cgminer wont get past the start page.

Just reads the date time and "started cgminer 4.9.2"

Its running of a win7 laptop and has been fine until about 30mins ago. I closed it to change freqs and reopened it and now it wont get past the start page. Ive changed the freqs back to what they were and still nothing

Try replugging your miners while cgminer is started.

[gt_addict]

Cheers Zou, unplug them all and plugged them in one by one and it turns out my U3 is not responding. Another Miner down now 

[gt_addict]

Can someone confirm whether this is correct or not?

My current bestshare on cgminer reads "1e+003k"

What does that mean?

Someone else posted that, too.  I thought it was this thread but can't find it, might be cksolo pool thread.  Anyway, I think the answer was it's a bug and to ignore it.

What 'cgminer' were you using? Master cgminer?
i.e. if it's a bitmain hack, then, yeah the best share and block count should be ignored in their badly hacked versions.

[gt_addict]

I'm using the gekko version of 4.9.2.

First time I've seen something like that on it. Usually it shows all the correct info.

Sorry im new with this, but may i know what is this error please?

It means you don't have any mining devices, as it says. Cgminer is just controlling software to allow your computer to control mining hardware attached to it. The computer itself doesn't do the mining.

Ok now im understand, thank

Looks like a C compiler problem.
If following the full compile instructions in the README leads to that problem, then there's some problem with your C compiler.

[Brianna007]

I too am having the same problem after upgrading from Fedora 23 to Fedora 24 and trying to recompile CGMiner.   Some of the research I have done points to it being the newer gcc version 6 in Fedora 24 (was 5.3 in Fedora 23).   I have not found a work around though.   If I come up with something I will pass it along.

It's a new rule in the latest gcc that fails the DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND macro in miner.h

A quick work around so you can compile miner.h and usbutils.c is to change 2 places in miner.h and 1 place in usbutils.c

Firstly:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/miner.h#L236

Code:

#define FPGA_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
        DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(bitforce) \
        DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(modminer)

change the above #define to just be:

Code:

#define FPGA_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND)

(note remove the '\' on the end also)

and Secondly:
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/miner.h#L236

Code:

#define ASIC_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
.
.
.

remove all the driver lines below it that you didn't include in your ./configure command.

e.g. if you
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-icarus

Then the changed result would just be:

Code:

#define ASIC_PARSE_COMMANDS(DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND) \
        DRIVER_ADD_COMMAND(icarus)

(a '\' after every line but the last line)

Thirdly in usbutils.c
https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/usbutils.c#L3744

Remove all the "case DRIVER_*" lines but the ones you compiled in e.g. for only icarus, change it to just be:

Code:

               switch (cgpu->drv->drv_id) {
                        case DRIVER_icarus:
                                DEVWLOCK(cgpu, pstate);
                                release_cgpu(cgpu);
                                DEVWUNLOCK(cgpu, pstate);
                                count++;
                                break;
                        default:
                                break;
                }

Could also try building with clang its available in EPEL.

Code:

milton@milton:~/temp/cgminer$ clang --version

THX, also no chance to a successful run?

THX, also no chance to a successful run?

Let it cool down, try a lower voltage and then start lowering the clock speed on each startup. You might find a speed where it works again, or half works, or it may never work again. They're just not very reliable and don't have much of a life expectancy.
