./build provides the same error message.

This is the section, line with the error on it simply has "fi":

NVCC="nvcc"

then
  CUDA_INCLUDES="-I$with_cuda/include"
  CUDA_LIBS="-lcudart"

I was getting the same error and fixed it by adding an else statement that does nothing.
edit  I also added a then too.

edit this is what my configure code looks like to get it to compile with a fresh git clone

i see, a "then" is missing, else did you install cuda ?

edit: fixed on github

I pulled a fresh clone from github and the error is the same.
Cuda is installed, I'm able to install other ccminer branches.

you need to checkout the linux branch to get the fix : git checkout origin/linux -b linux

this is what my configure code looks like to get it to compile with a fresh git clone not the linux branch
I am compiling on ubuntu 14.04

Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured out what went wrong.

[Epsylon3]

change the SM version in Makefile.am then ./build.sh

Thanks for a great miner, it runs my two 750ti's for weeks without hiccups.

I have suggestions:

Can you add in the Interactive (-i) flag that CudaMiner has? To make the miner not take up 100% of a cards performance?

I also have a gtx660 and it would be nice to run it from your fork so that i could work on the desktop GPU as well while it mines.
In CudaMiner you can specify e.g '-i 1 0 0' to make gpu 0 interactive, while gpu 1 and 2 run at 100%.

Also would it be possible to add in Scrypt and possibly Neoscrypt? I know Nvidia doesnt do these very well, but sometimes i mine just to heat the house at winter (many others too!)

Edit: Maybe someone could take a look at the X13 module that was added in too?
My GPU graphs in Afterburner for x13 compared to x11 shows that x13 has quite a few 'GPU Usage' dips to nearly 0% GPU. X11 is quite different. Its like the switching to/from the 2 extra algos goes wrong.
My max hash reached for x11 is 3065 and 2445 for X13. (EVGA FTW edition overclocked +31/+39/+550)

Can you add in the Interactive (-i) flag that CudaMiner has? To make the miner not take up 100% of a cards performance?

-i is already there. Max range is mostly around 20 (-i 17 already gives better control over your desktop), but you can go higher. It will crash if you reach maximum He's working on specifying it per gpu, ATM it's per ccminer process (so just run 2 ccminers, switch with -d 0 -i 17 and -d 1,2 -i 20)

Also would it be possible to add in Scrypt and possibly Neoscrypt? I know Nvidia doesnt do these very well, but sometimes i mine just to heat the house at winter (many others too!)

Neoscrypt is in the works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=916336.0
But why would you want scrypt? Need electric heating?

Latest 1.5.2-git --

I am running your very latest build, posted about an hour ago.  It runs at 34mh/s (quark) on my 6-card, 750ti rig.  That is an improvement over an earlier build of yours, 1.5.2..., that ran at 32mh/s.

However, I was getting 36mh/s on sp_'s fastest rendition, 1.5.31; unfortunately his latest builds have been unstable at times.  Some won't compile on Linux.  I am hoping that you may be looking at another clean-up and integration build that incorporates the best of the best.

I admire your work, it runs well.  And, for a long time!  Days, weeks...                             --scryptr

hello mate

you mean unstable is "crash" ?

if thats your problem you can make batch file to restart your ccminer every x Second

In Linux, you can make a bash script, or set a cron command, or both, to do the same thing.   It isn't the same as a DOS batch file run under Windows, though.  A batch file can be a far simpler implementation, really.

The problem I have is that once the mining program crashes, it requires a cold boot.  Further, I need to re-install Linux on my problem rig.  It isn't just the mining program, my whole build is whacked.  However, tpruvot's work seems to be more stable to me than sp_'s hot-rod builds.  SP_ does good work, and he always finds more hash, but somehow it won't compile right just now.       --scryptr

EDIT:  SP_'s build 1.5.32 has been corrected by the author and now builds on Linux without further editing.       --scryptr

BUILD 1.5.2 Linux--

I reloaded Linux 14.04.1 on my 6 card 750ti SC rig.  I was able to get a clean load, although I had wanted to move to Utopic Unicorn (14.1).  The CUDA 6.5 toolkit does not support Utopic Unicorn presently, and CUDA 7.0 toolkit is pre-release.

After burning the OS, I installed CUDA 6.5, and then downloaded SP_'s v1.5.32 and tpruvot's v1.5.2 release.  After compilation, I tested them.  Both compiled without errors, but I noticed several warnings during the compilation of v1.5.32.

SP_'s version ran at about 35.5mh/s on my 6 card rig, but proved not to be stable.  It crashed, requiring a cold boot of the rig, after 4-5 hours.  Tpruvot's version is currently running at about 33.6mh/s on the same rig, and has been reliable for the last couple of days.  In retrospect, I had SP_'s v31 up to 36.3mh/s on the same rig, but it was never stable for more than 2-3 hours.  SP_'s v31 is currently running on my 6x750ti FTW rig at 37.8mh/s, and runs for days at a time.

With the Windows binaries, my GTX 960 gets 8.7mh/s with release 1.5.2, tpruvot.  It gets 9.6mh/s with v1.5.32, SP_.

QUESTION: What are the advantages of running the "-d" switch?  It divides (or multiplies) the pool-provided "diff" setting, I know, but how does that help?       --scryptr
