checking for pthread_create in -lpthread... no
configure: error: Could not find pthread library - please install libpthread
can you please help me. I just started with Linux so I am not an expert
I run Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit
Check presence of hidapi (hidapi-hidraw) library.
cloned hidapi with git but didn't compile it
./configure and make etc succesful, hidapi installed
[lot's of stuff]
I'm stuck at this point. I didn't get to install hidapi because there is nothing to ./configure or I don't know if I'm looking in the right place. This is really tough for Linux newbies like me. Wouldn't even know how to check if hidapi is correctly installed. I still end up with the missing libpthread error.
Maybe I should try again in windows? Is it only possible to install the modified cgminer in the virtual box, and whoever got that to work, do you run into the same error in the virtual box when wanting to connect more than one hashbuster? It must be some sort of driver error. As stated before, 1 hashbuster per computer is running just fine. But there has to be a way to connect more than one miner to a windows machine.
Edit: Followed the manual at miningonmyown and got following errors when trying to bootstrap hidapi:
autom4te: cannot create autom4te.cache: (Can't find file or directory in German)
aclocal: error: echo failed with exit status:1
autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status:1
Wow, these linux commands are truly a foreign language to me. Whenever I type in something that works it is like magic. But if it doesn't work you are just utterly lost.
