If building from git:
autoconf
automake
-Before compiling cgminer, if you are using any USB devices you may need to
-build libusb yourself if you have an older version of libusb-dev that has a bug.
-This usually shows up with a combination of USB1.1 devices (all Icarus) with
-USB3 ports/hubs. If you do not have this hardware, most versions of libusb will
-work fine.
-
- To compile cgminer with a known working version of libusb
- First install udev-dev via one of:
- Ubuntu derivatives: apt-get install libudev-dev
- Arch: it should be installed by default as part of systemd
- Fedora: yum install libgudev1
- Mingw: not required
-
- In the cgminer folder create a subfolder called libusb
- mkdir libusb
- cd libusb
- Now, in that folder get and extract the known working libusb
- libusb-1.0.16-rc10.tar.bz2
-
- It is available here:
- http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/
-
- In linux and mingw you extract with:
- tar -xvf libusb-1.0.16-rc10.tar.bz2
-
- Then to build it:
- cd libusb-1.0.16-rc10
- ./configure
- make
- cd ../..
-
- Now when you configure cgminer as listed further below in the build
- instructions, for all the USB devices you must add libusb as follows:
- LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb" LIBUSB_LIBS="./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a -ludev" ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-modminer --enable-ztex --enable-avalon
-
- On Fedora18 you need -lrt also:
- LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb" LIBUSB_LIBS="./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.a -ludev -lrt" ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-modminer --enable-ztex --enable-avalon
-
- On Windows mingw:
- LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb" LIBUSB_LIBS="./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.dll.a" ./configure --enable-bflsc --enable-icarus --enable-bitforce --enable-modminer --enable-ztex --enable-avalon
-
- After compiling on windows you need to copy
- ./libusb/libusb-1.0.16-rc10/libusb/.libs/libusb-1.0.dll
- into the current cgminer folder before running cgminer
-
CGMiner specific configuration options:
--disable-opencl Override detection and disable building with opencl
