Linux Debian 8, libuv "Unable to locate package" solved

[Zelecktor]

Hello.
Im trying to mine on a Linux debian 8.

Already i followed this instructions and installed all libraries.

Note*** that libuv1-dev says that that directory doesnt exist so i cant install it via command.

sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libmicrohttpd-dev
sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libcurl4-openssl-dev
git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
cd xmrig
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=path/to/libuv/include -DUV_LIBRARY=path/to/libuv.a
sudo make

So when making it says this error:

root@openkore:~/xmrig/build# sudo make

There is another method to compile or get a compiled version because i think that linux debian is not supported :(
Please i need some help. thanks in advance

You need libuv1 to build it required dependency.
Thank you.

@Zelecktor

cmake .. -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=path/to/libuv/include -DUV_LIBRARY=path/to/libuv.a

change those to the respective paths

[ShadowJonathan]

run this

sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake libmicrohttpd-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev
sudo apt-get install libuv1-dev
git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
cd xmrig
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

@Zelecktor Are you sure you're running Debian 8 aka Jessie? What does cat /etc/debian_version say?

[Zelecktor]

@z3dm4n

Already solved.
Yes it was Debian 8 Jessie and debian 7 Wheezy
Just installed libuv with this command

sudo apt-get install libuv-dev

"libuv1-dev" says "Unable to locate package" but with libuv-dev worked fine.

I used to build xmrig 2.8.0 on debian 8 using the libuv-dev package from the debian backports repo: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/libuv1-dev .

This doesn't seem to work anymore with xmrig 2.14.1, getting similar errors to the ones Zelecktor is describing. Upgrading to debian 9 fixed the problem.
