Preparation, Package Dependencies, Configuration and Build for Raspbian – Kernel version: 4.4 (Debian 8.7.1) or higher of for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS or higher
Preparation
This installation guide describes setup, configuration and build based on a freshly installed Raspbian (Debian) or Ubuntu installation. You will need sudo rights. It’s not necessary to use root.
First steps: update and upgrade of system and reqired packages:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential git autoconf automake libtool pkg-config libcurl4-openssl-dev libudev-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libncurses5-dev
Now you can clone the GekkoScience CGMiner branch from GIT:
mkdir -p mining/newpac; cd mining/newpac
git clone https://github.com/vthoang/cgminer.git
cd cgminer
After successful cloning you can start to build CGMiner:
CFLAGS="-O2" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
make -j 2
The build command for Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (or higher) is slightly different:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" ./autogen.sh --enable-gekko
make -j 2
Explanation notes: The build parameter –enable-gekko activates the GekkoScience drivers both for Compac (single ASIC) and 2Pac (dual ASIC).
Now test the newly built binary:
./cgminer -n
The following command will start up the CGMiner Software (example):
cd ~/mining/newpac/cgminer
./cgminer
