Topic: make problems (Read 958 times)

Well, installing libcurl would probably be a good start (especially as the README says it's required). On Ubuntu run:(or use your favourite package manager to install libcurl4-gnutls-dev)

Thanks for the replies.

I am using gnu make W770, I get the following when I run make -?.
--------------------------------------------------------
This program built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--------------------------------------------------------

Foxpup, I am running from the cpuminer-master directory, I also made sure autoconf and automake (had to upgrade this one) were the right versions.

Now when I run ./autogen.sh I get the following
--------------------------------------------------------------
Useless use of /d modifier in transliteration operator at /usr/bin/automake line 5985.
configure.ac:96: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
-------------------------------------------------

Line 96 contains the following...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, , [AC_MSG_ERROR([Missing required libcurl >= 7.10.1])])
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas on what I should do next? Thanks.

Make sure you are using gnu make, other make tool may not work

Run make (with no arguments) from within the same directory that the Makefile is in. This is important. You also need to run ./autogen.sh and ./configure (again from within the same directory) first.

Assuming you unzipped it to ~/cpuminer-master, you should run the following commands:
This will create the executable file "minerd" in the same directory. Run ./minerd --help for usage instructions.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I have just tried the following, this was from terminal in the directory with the makefile and all the c files in.
---------------------------------------
$ make -f Makefile
make: Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
$ make -f Makefile.am
Makefile.am:2: *** missing separator. Stop.
$ make --f Makefile.am
Makefile.am:2: *** missing separator. Stop.
$ make --file Makefile.am
Makefile.am:2: *** missing separator. Stop.
$ make --f Makefile
make: Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
$ make --file Makefile
make: Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
$ make --file ./Makefile
make: ./Makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `./Makefile'. Stop.
$ make --file ./makefile
make: ./makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `./makefile'. Stop.
$ make --f makefile
make: makefile: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `makefile'. Stop.

This is the contents of the makefile in case that helps.

Did you try entering the command "make" according to the instructions? If you need to specify a makefile, look here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Makefile-Arguments

Just tried to compile the cpuminer at the Mining forum which I downloaded as a zip file from Github and got the following errors from make (in ubuntu).
---------------------------------------------------
>make Makefile
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile'. Stop.
>make Makefile.am
make: Nothing to be done for `Makefile.am'.
---------------------------------------------------

The readme contains the following info about the linux build.
---------------------------------------------------
Basic *nix build instructions:
   
./autogen.sh   # only needed if building from git repo
CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" ./configure
make
---------------------------------------------------

I haven't used C or make in a long time, so can anyone tell what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
