Compile xtc-stak for Linux

Install Dependencies

AMD Driver (only needed to use AMD GPUs)

  • the AMD APP SDK is not longer needed (all is included in the driver package)
  • download & unzip the AMD driver: https://www.amd.com/en/support
  • run ./amdgpu-pro-install --opencl=legacy,pal from the unzipped folder
  • set the environment variable to opencl export AMDAPPSDKROOT=/opt/amdgpu-pro/

ATTENTION The linux driver 18.3 creating invalid shares. If you have an issue with invalid shares please downgrade your driver or switch to ROCm.

For linux also the OpenSource driver ROCm 1.9.X+ is a well working alternative, see https://rocm.github.io/ROCmInstall.html

Cuda 8.0+ (only needed to use NVIDIA GPUs)

    # TinyCore Linux 8.x
    # TinyCore is 32-bit only, but there is an x86-64 port, known as "Pure 64,"
    # hosted on the TinyCore home page, and it works well.
    # Beware that huge page support is not enabled in the kernel distributed
    # with Pure 64.  Consider http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:custom_kernel
    # Note that as of yet there are no distro packages for microhttpd or hwloc.
    # hwloc is easy enough to install manually though, shown below.
    # Also note that only CPU mining has been tested on this platform, thus the
    # disabling of CUDA and OpenCL shown below.

  • g++ version 5.1 or higher is required for full C++11 support. If you want to compile the binary without installing libraries / compiler or just compile binary for some other distribution, please check the build_xtc-stak_docker.sh script.

  • Some newer gcc versions are not supported by CUDA (e.g. Ubuntu 17.10). It will require installing gcc 5 but you can avoid changing defaults.

In that case you can force CUDA to use an older compiler in the following way:

cmake -DCUDA_HOST_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-5 ..
  • You need 1 Gb RAM to compile (a bit less might be enough, 512 Mb isn't).

To do a generic and static build for a system without gcc 5.1+

    cmake -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON -DXMR-STAK_COMPILE=generic .
    make install
    cd bin\Release
    copy C:\xtc-stak-dep\openssl\bin\* .

Note - cmake caches variables, so if you want to do a dynamic build later you need to specify '-DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=OFF'
