Looks good. Now let's get some test reports.

Miner for Windows x64, please!

Looks good. Now let's get some test reports.

Figured I'd give it a try, wound up getting a compile error I'm not sure I have the expertise to figure out.

Ubuntu 15 fglrx-updates and APP SDK 2.9.1

Code:

main.c: In function ‘SetupXMRTest’:
main.c:725:8: error: unknown type name ‘cl_queue_properties’
  const cl_queue_properties CommandQueueProperties[] = { 0, 0, 0 };
        ^
main.c:735:2: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
  *HashData->CommandQueues = clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties(OCL->Context, OCL->Devices[DeviceIdx].DeviceID, CommandQueueProperties, &retval);
  ^
main.c:735:27: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast
  *HashData->CommandQueues = clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties(OCL->Context, OCL->Devices[DeviceIdx].DeviceID, CommandQueueProperties, &retval);
                           ^
Makefile:8: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1

Googling I found a similar error someone had with Wolf0's Vanillacoin miner: https://talk.vanillacoin.net/topic/107/open-source-amd-miner-release He mentions adding a compatibility fix there.


Edit: Installed APP SDK 3.0 beta over the 2.9.1 installation (I think) and still getting the same compile error.

It just needs cloned, then make, yeah? I assume I'm missing some dependencies. Error on Mint 17.2:

Code:

log.c:25:3: warning: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Wformat-security]
   printf(timebuf);

Google says I have to old a version of GCC maybe? I'm running 4.8.2.

yeah, when I tried to compile for ubuntu and ran into errors, wolf mentioned that I might have an old version of gcc.

[smooth]

wolf how about adding some dependencies info to the readme. Minimum versions or at least some stated set of versions that build and work.

Hi, I had the same thing.  It's a bug in gcc 4.8, fixed in gcc 4.9.

What about windows version

[skidog]

What about windows version

Is there a windows Gui wallet on the horizon. 

[smooth]

What about windows version

There is a windows version of 0.9.5.0 that I will be uploading soon

Yes it is in development. I had to take some time off to finish up some unrelated work but i will be getting back to it soon.

[Nik4691]

There is a windows version of 0.9.5.0 that I will be uploading soon

He probably meant the Wolf0's miner.
The Aeon-Win-x64-0.9.5.0 compiled and uploaded by myagui is already there and I'm using it.

Oh okay. I meant an official build (or core, not GPU miner) but I don't know if any problem with the myagui build.

As for the miner, I asked Wolf0 to specify the build dependences to help address the problems people had building it.

Not to be lazy... but where can I download either the wolf or the myagui miner? - I'd like to start mining AEON Again...

Here's the wolf AMD miner:

EDIT: https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-aeon-miner

There are NVIDIA miner and (modified Wolf's) cpuminer in the OP

The AMD miner has not been successfully compiled much less tested by anyone afaik. If you want to give it a try wolf says you need minimum of gcc 4.9. Other than that I don't know the dependencies.

EDIT: Looks like wolf updated the dependencies. Someone want to take another shot at compiling it: https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-aeon-miner/commit/f208a5853b4f1d2453df868233eca5c39a4d3084

i was able to compile it but i can't test (no amd gpu available on linux at the moment, my last ring is performing windows tests)

what i did: (Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit, gcc 4.9.2)
clone wolf's repository

Code:

git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-aeon-miner.git

donwload AMD APP SDK 3.0 for 64-bit Linux here : http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/
untar it

Code:

tar -jxvf AMD-APP-SDKInstaller-v3.0.124.132-GA-linux64.tar.bz2

and execute the shell script AMD-APP-SDK-v3.0.124.132-GA-linux64.sh

Code:

./AMD-APP-SDK-v3.0.124.132-GA-linux64.sh

you now have a folder AMDAPPSDK-3.0
copy AMDAPPSDK-3.0/include and AMDAPPSDK-3.0/lib into wolf-aeon-miner folder



in the makefile add  -I./include/ to CFLAGS and -L./lib/x86_64/ to LIBS

CC      = gcc
LD      = gcc
CFLAGS    = -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -O0 -ggdb3 -std=c11 -pthread -c -I./include/
LDFLAGS   = -pthread -O0 -ggdb3
LIBS   = -ljansson -L./lib/x86_64/ -lOpenCL -ldl

[EDIT] force use of libOpenCL.so from AMDAPPSDK-3.0
with -Wl,./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so ) instead of -L./lib/x86_64/

in the makefile add  -I./include/ to CFLAGS
and -Wl,./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so to LIBS (or -Wl,./lib/x86_64/sdk/libOpenCL.so according to your paths) to LIBS, -lOpenCL can be deleted

CC      = gcc
LD      = gcc
CFLAGS    = -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -O0 -ggdb3 -std=c11 -pthread -c -I./include/
LDFLAGS   = -pthread -O0 -ggdb3
LIBS   = -ljansson -Wl,./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so -ldl

or

LIBS   = -ljansson -Wl,./lib/x86_64/sdk/libOpenCL.so -ldl

run

Code:

make

and it must be OK.

in aeon.conf, change url pool an user  then launch with

Code:

./miner aeon.conf

feedback appreciated, i can't test myself.

[smooth]

Thanks for the clear instructions Arux!

Hopefully folks with the right equipment can reproduce and we'll get some test reports soon.

I built the win64 version of the AMD gpu miner.

On start there are some errors :

Code:

".\groestl256.cl", line xxx : warning: integer conversion resulted in a change
          of sign
        C64e(0x2a86ef4343692aef), C64e(0xf193a6c4c435f1a6),
        ^

Where xxx could be up to 303 and down to at least 225 (I can get the full output if needed).

Also, this :

Code:

"C:\Users\Richard\AppData\Local\Temp\OCL5F33.tmp.cl", line 228: warning: argument of
          type "uchar *" is incompatible with parameter of type "uint *"
        AESExpandKey256(ExpandedKey1);

And finally the results with the following config are 410H/s for a 7950 :

Code:

{
"Algorithms":
[
{
"name": "AEON",
"devices":
[
{
"index": 0,
"corefreq": 925,
"memfreq": 1250,
"fanspeed": 65,
"powertune": 20,
"threads": 1,
"rawintensity": 1024,
"worksize": 16
}
],
}
]
}

It seems going above 1024 makes the system unstable. Also I don't know what is the worksize param.
Anyone willing to share results ?

EDIT: It also crashes after some time with those parameters. The AMD driver crashes and miner stops.

I'm on Mint 17.2. I've installed GCC 4.9 and followed your instructions, but get this after running make:

Code:

...../wolf-aeon-miner/main.c:735: undefined reference to `clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi There,

I had the same thing.  I think this points to having an older openCL sdk installed than is required.

It is possible to build it using by changing the function names to that used in the older openCL releases, and it does link and build.  But then the actual opencl code give errors during execution.

Probably best to upgrade to latest SDK (note - I haven't because it was such a pain to do it on my headless rig, and it's nice and stable mining other currencies at the moment).

Cheers

Dave
