So you edit the makefile.unix to something like below changing to proper version number for the .a file.

Code:
LIBS= -dead_strip \
 $(DEPSDIR)/lib/libdb_cxx-5.1.a \

I installed the db
>sudo apt-get install libdb5.1++-dev
and added the library to the build path like coblee told me and it compile !

Anyone can explain how to build litecoin in ubuntu 11.10?

Compiled LTC miner on Ubuntu 11.10 4 days ago so its instructions just for it (Live version too):

1.Open terminal
2.Type: sudo su
3.Type: apt-get install gcc libcurl4-nss-dev automake autoconf git make
4.Type: y if asked
5.Type: git clone git://github.com/Lolcust/Tenebrix-miner.git
6.Type: cd Tenebrix-miner/
7.Type: ./autogen.sh
8.Type: CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -Wall -msse2 -msse3 -msse4 -msse4.1 -msse4.2" ./configure
9.Type: make
10.Type: ./minerd --algo scrypt --url http://lc.ozco.in:9332 --user camopejb.1 --pass 1234

After each command press Enter  Grin
If you don't want to type you can do Copy/Paste in terminal with right click Wink

Also, you may need to configure it for your machine to get the optimal speed. Check the README file. Somewhere on the forums, people have suggested running configure like this:
    CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -Wall -msse2 -msse3 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -msse4 -mavx" ./configure
OR
    CFLAGS="-march=native -O3 -Wall -msse2 -msse3 -msse4.1 -msse4.2 -msse4" ./configure
Actually what you do is compile it with all flags you listed then run it and see if it fails.
If it fails then remove the last flag from the Makefile/makfile (line that starts with CFLAGS = ), 'make clean' 'make' and run again.
You keep doing this 'remove the last flag' until it works (or look up your CPU and work out what flags are valid Tongue)

For linux try cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep flags to get them for OSX sysctl -a |grep cpu.features gets them and don't use the -march= or it will tell you your C compiler cannot produce executables, for the Doz yep look it up.
Yep I was just giving the simple version for anyone not certain of exactly what options they have or how to get it right Smiley

Edit: meanwhile ... LTC peaked to 0.01 BTC on BTC-E not long ago Cheesy

@coblee: OK, just consult with twobits first and then upload original binary on safe location which is reachable from China too.
(github maybe?)

@Kumala: is github reachable from China? Or just offer some good file sharing site.

twobits very specificly stated that he would appreciate if people didn't mirror the download link to his miners. You might want to check up on that.

Ok, I removed the mirror link from the first posts. I can't be sure that it's not compromised. The wuala link is good though.
Well, you can just checksum it, but I'd consult with twobits first.

Of course. But I'm not familiar with the mirror sites enough to know that the uploader can't switch out the binary in the future.

I'm mining at around 1.5-1.8 KH/s and was expecting to find blocks a lot faster at .20 difficulty Sad

Hope it helps Wink

@coblee: you can put those links on your first post along with newest winLTC client (I think in first post is not the fresh one)


Thanks, I just updated the first post.

Just for info: Don't use Wuala if you want to reach people in China. The page (and many others: Youtube, Facebook, etc.) is not accessible from there (here).

Some mirror links for minerd-amdfam10-sse4a-64.exe (308.50 KB) :

++edit: waiting of twobits approval

Hope it helps Wink

Yep, this SEPA topic has set that back quite a bit. Busy opening accounts outside of Europe, but that takes a while.

Volume? Yep, that's a b... I guess I need to beef up my marketing skills.

LTC Exchanges? I know at least one more  Roll Eyes See signature.

Don't see any LTC/USD graphs.... nor bids.... keep a good work ;-)


Source code and compile flags ?

The future begins today
What is the fastest miner for LiteCoin right now? If theres any difference, for an AMD system
k10fam with sse, 64 bit
where would i find it?
http://www.wuala.com/jbw9/pub/Bitcoin/Tenebrix/miner/win/test/minerd-amdfam10-sse4a-64.exe/

It even beats every Intel miner that's out there on Intel processors. Credit to twobits.
