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

[-ck]

Did not know that. O.k , I'd just be curious how far along they got before receiving this error. When I  ran the file originally to try installing cgminer I got 6 or 7 not founds and it terminated.

 I'm going to use my next wammy card and say make sure you've installed all the files and made the lib driver . The first time I installed cg Miner files I did it on wireless and it didn't hit that step. even the clone github needed lan or it times out on you.

I tried to show in my original post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg3219580#msg3219580 how far I got before it broke.
It looks to me like it's saying there's a syntax error in some file it was processing.
The post I was trying to follow for the install is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg1229746#msg1229746
Since I don't know what the h' I'm doing I follow instructions verbatim.  Actually I use copy and paste to avoid tedious typing and typos so I installed whatever files it said.
I expect, because of the time difference, the files I downloaded were not the same as what he had at the time.

Thank you for trying to help

--with-libudev is not a valid command for cgminer configuration

[SebastianJu]

Hello,
I'm running cgminer3.4.3 on windows.
I have 24 bitburners XX and 1 X, total 25 boards and 490 chips.

I try to run with the options:
 --avalon-options 115200:49:10:d:300 --bitburner-voltage 1290 --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4
And cgminer just closes with no error no nothing outputted (nothing also on a cmd line)

But running:
 --bitburner-voltage 1290 --avalon-temp 55 --avalon-cutoff 65 --avalon-fan 80 --queue 4
It mines ok, no problems whatsoever.

What am i doing wrong?

You wrote you managed it now but like you found... only 16 miners can be chained at once and i think --avalon-options 115200:20:49:d:300 would be correct, first the number of chips on a bitburner, even 20 for bitburner X and the second value is the amount of miners stacked x 2. At least i run it that way. Its not starting when i change the order of values.

--with-libudev is not a valid command for cgminer configuration

Tried it again without '--with-libudev' and still got what looks like the syntax error.

I've also tried to use the Super Tutorial Raspberry Pi+Raspbian+CGMiner+TightVNC+WIFI at boot
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=233392.0
but the command git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git cgminer
gives me
Cloning into 'cgminer'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com: No address associated with hostname

I've asked for help on that thread, but so far had no response.

Since all I want is to get CGminer running on my Pi,
seems like the binaries kano referenced are what I would need.
I downloaded the repository and extracted the cgminer-3.4.2 directory and the cgminer-3.4.2a file
but can't figure out how to make them run.
Still need a little help.

[kano]

Your errors look like something (sigstack.h ?) is corrupt.

First, get the appropriate cgminer-3.4.2a binary for whichever RPi OS you are using then:

chmod +x cgminer-3.4.2a
./cgminer-3.4.2a blah blah ....

or
mv cgminer-3.4.2a cgminer
chmod +x cgminer
./cgminer blah blah ....

Also - how to get Arch (use 2013-06-06) onto a RPi and compile cgminer:

[Chalkbot]

I'm trying to run separate cgminer instances on my machine using "-d" and "--remove-disabled" in each batch file, but regardless, the second instance always say's "devices in use" and closes. (The devices are BFL Singles)

Is there a way to accomplish this?

The -3 error means you didn't read the README that tells you how to fix that.

SETTING UP USB DEVICES ...

Okay
Now that I read part of the instructions, it's working.
Thank you kano

Experiencing 1 minor problem.
I've been instructed to use port 3333
When I use the command line
cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
it is identified as a bad url

It works just fine if I omit the port
I have no problem using the pool:port on another mining program
I searched through the readme file and I think I'm doing it right and hope I didn't miss anything
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong this time.

Try stratum+tcp://pool:port for 3333?  It is stratum, right?  http is used for longpoll and you would need to use the appropriate longpoll port that would then advertise stratum and switch you to it.

Tried it from the command line and in pool management

Try it without any leading protocol definition.

I use "-o us.ozco.in:3333"

for instance.

You mean like cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password
as I posted above, or am I completely misunderstanding you?

Edit:
Oh, you mean without the http.
I use us3.eclipsemc.com:3333
but that isn't working

What about using one of the other US servers?  I personally use us1 with us2 as my failover.

It doesn't seem to matter which one I enter, it gets rejected.
I use them in reverse order 3,2,1

Done did.  Same results.

Try 443 instead of 3333 and see how that works.
Sam

Edit: the actual intent of my post was to have you try telnet'ing to that port and see what your results were.

The reason it failed on my network is probably due to not having a rule in my firewall to allow it to pass since I don't actually use EMC.

[village.idiot]

not knowing anything about telenet, I pulled up a 'Command Prompt" (Windows)
and entered telnet us3.eclipsemc.com 3333

Didn't work
That's why I asked you

Thanks

If I use us3.eclipsemc.com:3333 on bfgminer, I see stratum in the data display
