Bumping this again...

Anyone figure out how to get any of the CPU Miner variants working on a Mac (not counting VMWare or VirtualBox workarounds running Windows x64)?

Threw this over to Anonymailer (the guy behind MacMiner) to see if he could figure it out: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7218745

I've been having the same problem.  I found some information on GPU mining X11 coins on the Astroid forums but couldn't figure out what the heck to do.  Maybe you can figure it out.  Or have you found a solution already?

I got dark coin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes from https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes.git through ./autogen.sh and ./configure but make fails with a massive amount of errors like this:

Greetings,

I currently have 20 mac workstations at my disposal and looking to put the CPU power to mine some x-11 DARKCOINs.

After almost 12 hours of net research I have yet been able to find a method to mind x-11 with OSX.

I found a thread on reddit darkcoin that stated the following.

3 are currently available - ig0tik3d (https://github.com/ig0tik3d/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.2c, https://github.com/ig0tik3d/xcoin-cpuminer) and elmads (https://github.com/elmad/darkcoin-cpuminer-1.3-avx-aes),
NOTE: Make sure you go with the 64bit build, and run both options -b and -t 32 for the most efficient least CPU in


I tried all 3 method and was not able to compile non of them. I later found out that Darkcoin is currently only minable by linux and Windows.

Long story short. Is there any x-11 CPU mining support for OSX yet? If there is and I've just been doing it all wrong just let me know >_> or post a link to a binary.

Thank You
