Hi,

I am having similar problems to Antonio with the miner. My environment is following:
-Ubuntu 14.04
-Biostar HB61 + 5 x 7950
- AMD drivers 14.6 beta
- AMD APP SDK installed version 2.9
- miner compiled with make -j=5

once I start mining in simple wallet using start_mining 5 I am getting following:

any thoughts?

If necessary I can also downgrade to Ubuntu 13.10 with AMD 13.12 drivers. (althought it would take me several hours)

No, those instructions are to build the windows programs, something most people (including me) can't do. MBK had the files ready for download, but the link no longer works. If he is unable to put them back up, I will get zoidberg to try to build them.

If MBK needs someone to host them, I guess I will.

Got a 42.6% increase on my 860M, which is basically a 750Ti. That took a while.

Looks like the OPENCL_LIBRARY is undefined. It should be in line 149. Edit FindOpenCL.cmake. Put debug messages after the find_library

thanks... I hope that brings us a step further.
I will try this tomorrow when I'm back at home.
Have a good time.

wow! get it on... you do a lot of cool stuff at the moment (tsiv CN).
If your BBR version would be easy to compile for nvidia linux guys I would be more than happy.

Looks like the OPENCL_LIBRARY is undefined. It should be in line 149. Edit FindOpenCL.cmake. Put debug messages after the find_library call.

Code:

  # Find the library
  find_library(OPENCL_LIBRARY OpenCL
    PATHS /lib${_OPENCL_LIB_DIR_SUFFIX}
    ${_OPENCL_LIB_OPTS}
    ${_OPENCL_ROOT_OPTS}
  )

  message("OpenCL Library: ${OPENCL_LIBRARY}")
  message("Path: ${CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH}")
  message("Library suffix: ${_OPENCL_LIB_DIR_SUFFIX}")
  message("OPENCL_LIB_OPTS: ${_OPENCL_LIB_OPTS}")
  message("OPENCL_ROOT_OPTS: ${_OPENCL_ROOT_OPTS}")

Here is the correct output:

Code:

In the logs you posted before I see

Code:

-- OpenCL: Searching in custom location

It means CUDA_PATH variable is not visible to cmake. Is it still the case? Delete the build directory or better clone the repository from scratch and run make again.

No. It was the case before as you advised to set OPENCL_ROOT (a few days ago).
But the defined path doesn't make a difference... the error is the same.

With set CUDA_PATH he is searching for the nvidia cuda SDK - and her found the CL Versions as you could read in my logs...
the problem is described in this post above, please take a closer look:

Merged all updates from the main branch.
Source - https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl
Windows x64 binaries - https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl/releases

Fixed previous binary release too (it was compressed with 7zip instead of zip).

Thank you! I updated the first post.

Yes, you can use as many GPUs as you like with solo miner (single thread in readme is about pool miner). Try larger values for thread_delay if config file (ex. 2000). It's in milliseconds.

"thank you for your "answer", but in the readme file, i read :
"--mining-threads=[n], n - number of GPUs to use"

When building on Linux you should:
1. Run 'make clean' if you got back here after some problems.
1. Set CUDA_PATH or AMDAPPSDKROOT, run 'printenv' to check.
2. Run 'make' and watch for OpenCL: Searching for NVIDIA CUDA SDK or OpenCL: Searching for AMD APP SDK. Back to 1st step if it's not in the log.
3. Watch for -- Looking for CL_VERSION_1_x - found. Check the environment variable points to the actual SDK directory if it's not in the log and get back to 1st step.
4. Check the other dependencies were found (Boost).
5. Compilation should start.

first steps clear. CUDA_PATH set. printenv checked.
3. is the problem. -- Looking for CL_VERSION_1_1 - found - is ok - but afterwards the compiler shows my beloved message:
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message):
Could NOT find OpenCL (missing: OPENCL_LIBRARY) (found version "1.1")

with the boolberry miner version from the 22. July (you fixed backward compatibility after for openCL 1.1/1.0) he shows the right path afterwards:
-- Found OpenCL: /usr/local/cuda/include (found version "1.1")
...and failed later (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7972653)
but with the actual version I did not get so far.

compiling cudaminer and ccminer forks were no problem so far.

I added a brief summary to the first post of this thread. Let me know what else to add. Probably needs more Linux build info.

"Windows

Dependencies: MSVC 2012, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.55.

You may download them from:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=34673
http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.0/cmake-3.0.0-win32-x86.exe
http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.55.0-build2/boost_1_55_0-msvc-11.0-64.exe/download

OpenCL SDK (you can install CUDA too):
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/opencl-tools-sdks/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

To build, edit paths to Boost in cmake-vs2012.bat and run it.
Open the generated build/boolberry.sln in VS2012, change the solution configuration to Release and build the targets you need in the prog group.
You'll find executables in build/src/Release directory.
Copy *.cl kernels from src/cl to executable's directory.

Good luck!"

mbk...
I edited the findopenCL.cmake file to spit out some "messages" between the codelines.
Its obvious that everything works fine till the end. He found the cuda_paths & openCL, versions. yes, we already know that because of the logs.

but at the end goes something wrong:

Code:

  # Find the library
  find_library(OPENCL_LIBRARY OpenCL
    PATHS /lib${_OPENCL_LIB_DIR_SUFFIX}
    ${_OPENCL_LIB_OPTS}
    ${_OPENCL_ROOT_OPTS}
  )

  # Restore the original search paths
  set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH ${_CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH})

XXX

  include(FindPackageHandleStandardArgs)
  FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS(OpenCL
    REQUIRED_VARS OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIR OPENCL_LIBRARY
    VERSION_VAR OPENCL_VERSION_STRING
  )
  if(OPENCL_FOUND)
    set(OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIRS ${OPENCL_INCLUDE_DIR})
    set(OPENCL_LIBRARIES ${OPENCL_LIBRARY})
  endif()
endif()

the cmake funktion after "XXX" include FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS returns the error.
but why FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS could not deal with the paths found before?

is there a possibility I could print out the value of the variables while compiling (message XYZ)?
then I could check what path's he exactly found before.

ok then you can add to the test matrix 6990 1160 kh/s
6950 540 kh/s

if there is any hardware matrix i would add the results

(note the results are with the 2 % fee added. dunno if devel makes the hardware hash slower with fees are disabled)

Specs:
OS = Ubuntu 12.04 64bit
GPU = 7850 1GB Pitcairn
driver = 14.6
Hashrate: 490 kh/s
compiled without issues on my end

is there a way to tweak memclock or engine clock on linux?
