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

[MadHacker]

At least for me, whenever a GPU shows up as dead, a restart of cgminer ALWAYS works.

*shrug*

i guess its dependant on the GPU and the driver version... IDK.

It is impossible to predict what will happen so the default needs to be the safest.

New Version 2.0.7:

- Support work without midstate or hash1, which are deprecated in bitcoind 0.5+
- Go to kernel build should we fail to clCreateProgramWithBinary instead of
failing on that device. This should fix the windows problems with devices not
initialising.
- Support new configuration file format courtesy of Chris Savery which can write
the config file from the menu and will load it on startup.
- Write unix configuration to .cgminer/cgminer.conf by default and prompt to
overwrite if given a filename from the menu that exists.

Well... I've removed the ubuntu binaries since they weren't ubuntu binaries since I'm on a newer distribution.

Thanks for new release but does not work on Ubuntu 11.04.

Code:

./cgminer: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./cgminer)


locate libc.so.6
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6
/lib32/libc.so.6

Plus compiling from source from a git clone and download tarballs fails on no dummy.o file in either distribution.

Code:

Also it does not find the ADL.

Code:

Configuration Options Summary:

  OpenCL...............: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled
  ADL..................: SDK NOT found, GPU monitoring support DISABLED
  ASM..................: false

Compilation............: make (or gmake)
  CPPFLAGS.............:
  CFLAGS...............: -O2 -Wall -march=native -I/home/miner6/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include>
  LDFLAGS..............: -L/home/miner6/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64> -lpthread

Installation...........: make install (as root if needed, with 'su' or 'sudo')
  prefix...............: /usr/local

Could we have fix please so we can compile on the older than you or different glibc contained on the 11.04.

Edit: should add couple of typos in the README here.

Code:

ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/CL /usr/include

Should be

Code:

ln -s /opt/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include/CL /usr/include/

And

Code:

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I<path to AMD APP include>" LDFLAGS="-L<path to AMD APP lib/x86_64> ./configure

Should be

Code:

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I<path to AMD APP include>" LDFLAGS="-L<path to AMD APP lib/x86_64>" ./configure

No ubuntu build any more, sorry. Too much happening with distro changes.
Build from git you need to ./autogen.sh first as the documentation says.
ADL needs to be installed as the documentation says.
Your corrections to the readme read the same thing.

Did the autogen it still fails on no dummy.o file as I already mentioned, went to the ati site and got them files I and put them in the include directory where I think headers go.

Code:

miner6@miner6:~/src/cgminer-2.0.7$ ll /home/miner6/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include

Still not found unless they go somewhere else. Don't know what you mean about the correction to documentation if not corrected won't even configure.

The ADL header files go into the "ADL_SDK" directory in the main source directory.

Code:

miner6@miner6:~/src/cgminer-2.0.7$ CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I/home/miner6/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/include>" LDFLAGS="-L/home/miner6/AMD-APP-SDK-v2.4-lnx64/lib/x86_64> ./configure
>

You have to CTRL + C to get out of it to put the " on the end to get a configure.

I found that I don't have to add the paths at all when I use the .debs provided in http://forums.amd.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=390&threadid=125792. With those, my command line is simply:

Code:

> CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure

[kano]

The ADL header files go into the "ADL_SDK" directory in the main source directory.

So they do thats what you get for doing a less README and following instructions and not listing the directory I guess, that should be in there as well.

Yeah that's what the readme.txt in there says

[TheMalon]

From the README file:

Q: How does the donation feature work and how does it affect my shares?
A: The donation feature is disabled by default and only does anything once
enabled. It queries the author's website for login credentials and contributes
up to a proportion of work to the author's account. While the overall
accepted/rejected rates will include this work, none of these will appear in
your own accounts. On exiting, the summary will tell you how many shares were
contributed to the author.

Some questions:
1. Does the donation option work behind a firewall (with only port 80 and 8080 opened)?
2. How does it works? ... it will get some work from your site and submit it back to your site?
3. What site will query?

thanks

New Version 2.0.7:

- Go to kernel build should we fail to clCreateProgramWithBinary instead of
failing on that device. This should fix the windows problems with devices not
initialising.

Running WinXP

I still have to copy the .bin files that CG Miner 2.0 generated.

Also still get the crash on exit.
Thanks,
Sam

[cablepair]

XP? what happened to OS/2???

Can't get the Catalyst drivers to install

[cablepair]

bummer well I still give props to anyone trying to run OS/2 in 2011

ckolivas, please create an account on http://pps.btcguild.com (if you do not already have one)......

Rather than use the built-in % donation feature in CGMiner, I would just as well log one of my video cards into a mining account for a set amount of time and make my donation that way.

I am sure there are others who would do the same, so create a miner for me using part of my username, so you know where they (shares) came from.

Something simple like: (assuming it's for pps.btcguild.com)
Miner User - ckolivas_bitlane
Miner Pass - worker

Obviously I don't need the actual account credentials, just a single miner's credentials......

Let me know when you have done this and I will mine some shares for you, as it's a PPS Pool.

Why the frell would he do that and why a high fee pool so fees can suckup a good chunk of any donation?  Just set the donation and call it a day.  Why all the extra work to do the same thing.  (Take the time you would have pointed @ that account in hours a day) / (24 * # GPU) that is the % to set donation.

Donation simply pull work from a pool the author has already setup and does work on a % basis.

i.e at 1% then 1% of the time your cards work on his  pool and 99% on your pool.

Because I like to know WHERE I am connecting, you fucking douche nozzel........

Simply put: Fuck it if my Network's Security doesn't allow any outgoing connection to where ever the 'donation' pool is located.

LOL so clearly you will never have donate on
Or maybe one day you'll learn how to control your computer

it goes to http://ozco.in a 0fee pool that ckolivas has mined on for a long time.

I am very interested in the pools part of the config file. 

How exactly do you manage pools with the config files with the current built version?  (not prepared to compile source at this juncture.)

I want to bump this,  is it possible to use the json config file to set up failover pools in the 2.0.5 version?  any version.  if so, how exactly do you do it.
