I can't seem to successfully begin mining for XMR. I'm running a google VM, (ubuntu 14.04) installed everything through Monero Essentials. I did everything here:
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install screen;sudo apt-get install git;sudo apt-get install build-essential;sudo apt-get install pkg-config;sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev;sudo apt-get install automake
wget http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;tar -xvf curl-7.34.0.tar.gz;cd curl-7.34.0/;./configure --disable-shared --enable-static;make -j 4;sudo make install;cd ..
git clone https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi;cd cpuminer-multi;./autogen.sh;./configure;make -j 4
although when typing
./autogen.sh
I'm returned with
Makefile.am:12: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
which I haven't been able to figure out a solution to. I've tried starting from scratch and re-making everything, but I'm no professional. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, I'll accept any links to guides for VPS mining that are fairly recent - any coin acceptable!
Thanks in advance...I've been ripping my hair out for hours now
edit: most of the guides I've found are out of date, which is why I'm willing to try setting up a miner from scratch, as long as the coin has a good community supporting it!
when I set up a VPS for mining, I used this
cd ~ && rm -f install_monero.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quanttek/install_monero/master/install_monero.sh && bash install_monero.sh
and just selected the option to install the standalone miner. Worked fine.
