Requirements

Hardware

xmrMiner supports all NVIDIA GPUs with a compute capability >=2.0 You can check the compute capability on this side.

Software

  • NVIDIA CUDA >=6.0

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit

  • host compiler

    • clang >=3.9 (support compile of the host and device code)
    • gcc >=4.6 (depends on your current CUDA version)
      • by default CUDA8 is not supporting gcc 6.x, never the less to compile with the newest gcc version you need follow this steps
      • open the file $CUDAINSTALLDIR/include/host_config.h and change(remove) the following line
      #if __GNUC__ > 5
#error -- unsupported GNU version! gcc versions later than 5 are not supported!
#endif /* __GNUC__ > 5 */
      to 
      #if __GNUC__ > 5

#endif /* __GNUC__ > 5 */

  • SSL support

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

  • CMake >=3.3.0

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install cmake cmake-curses-gui

  • Curl

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev

  • git

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install git

  • Jansson

    • Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libjansson-dev
    • From Source:
      • git clone https://github.com/akheron/jansson.git
      • cd jansson
      • mkdir build
      • cd build
      • cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/usr/jansson
      • make install
      • set the path to jansson before you compile xmrMiner export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:$HOME/usr/jansson

Install

If you have compiled a dependency by hand please add the path to the install folder to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH e.g., export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:$JANSSON_ROOT

  1. create and enter the project folder:
  • mkdir -p xmrMinerProject
  • cd xmrMinerProject
  1. download the xmrMiner source code
  • git clone ....
  1. create a temporary build folder and enter
  • mkdir -p build
  • cd build
  1. configure xmrMiner (search for all dependencies) and add the install path (creates a folder xmrMiner within the home)
  • cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xmrMiner ../xmrMiner
  • optional you can change all compile time options with a ncurses gui
    • ccmake . inside the build folder
    • after a option in ccmake is changed you need to end ccmake with the key c and than g
  1. compile
  • make -j install
  • optional to speedup the compile you can change the CMake option CUDA_ARCH to the compute capability of your NVIDIA GPU
    • ccmake or cmake -DCUDA_ARCH=61+ options from step 4 (for Pascal)
  1. start xmrMiner
  • cd $HOME/xmrMiner
  • ./xmrMiner --help
