Topic: Trying to compile Ufasoft miner on Linux - aka BREAKING DOWN (Read 4643 times)
Ufasoft does have some pretty exotic compile dependencies, so if troubleshooting errors like this (missing PCRE library) is to much to deal with, I too would suggest jgarzik's miner.
If all you need is a CPU miner for linux, i recommend jgarzik's miner. http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=1925.0
I'm on the verge of crying, no joke.
I have limited experience with Linux but I learn fast.
Never compiled a program, I have no idea where to begin. I usually use aptitude to install updates to programs and even that is cumbersome.
The interface is too cryptic.....but I digress.
All I want to do is set up a Linux CPU miner.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 server. Headless machine so everything is done over SSH/screen.
Now, I downloaded the Ufasoft linux source and managed to unpacked it to ~/bitcoin/somedir.
So what do I do now?
I managed to get a jwasm binary file.
Currently, when I run ./configure I get this:
