I'm unable to get cgminer working on a debian cpu only system.  When I use the readme file's recommended configure line:

CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-scrypt

I get this in the summary when the configure script completes:

Quote
------------------------------------------------------------------------
cgminer 3.1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration Options Summary:

  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: NOT FOUND. GPU mining support DISABLED
configure: error: No mining configured in

And it just stops.  If I make install anyway, it doesn't want to work.  Thanks in advance for any help!


try
CFLAGS="-O2" ./configure --enable-cpumining

works for BTC.  Tried it on testnet (win64).  You can use it for testing, but to make real coins you would have to be really lucky or live for a very long time.

His post says 3.1.0
3.1.0 doesn't have any cpu mining code in it.

I missed that part.

Use 2.11.4 with the above configure option.  Problem solved. Next.

There's options to disable GPU mining, which made me think it would have cpu only capabilities.


No, that's for disabling GPU mining on a machine that's controlling ASICs or similar.

Which bit of "cgminer doesn't support CPU mining" don't you understand?  Roll Eyes

CPU mining was removed ages ago.  2.11.4 doesn't even have it, and that's the oldest version I have here.

don't even bother with cpu mining - gpu mining is virtually dead now

Thanks Kano.  Thought it might be something like that.  There's options to disable GPU mining, which made me think it would have cpu only capabilities.

Is cpuminer the only game in town for cpu mining only?
