Sorry guys, I am new to mining and I don't know much of programming
I have a Mac and successfully manage to mine Equihash with an external eGpu (gtx1070)

but having a 1070 it would be great to start mining some eth!

So, I download ETHMINER from Github, extract the package ,create a Build directory and next I should CREAT A BUILD FILE
AND HOW DO I DO THAT?
I installed CMAKE on my Mac but I know nothing of programming...
If inside the folder I type "make .."
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/destrocci/bin" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt

on
https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/BUILD.md#macos
there is no info

Anyone can help me please?
Thank you guys

Download source code from git repository
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer.git

Go to the source code directory
Code:
$ cd ethminer

Create a build directory
Code:
$ mkdir build; cd build

Configure the project with CMake
Code:
$ cmake ..

If you have NVidia GPU(s), you need to add more options
Code:
$ cmake .. -DETHASHCUDA=ON

Build the project using CMake Build Tool Mode
Code:
$ cmake --build .

you are welcome!
