I finally uploaded the Minera mod image that includes Compac support. You can use this with a Raspberry Pi to mine with your sticks under Minera without jumping through any fancy Linux hoops.

Here's the download link:

Here's the zip archive digests:

There's a read me in the zip that explains how to install and use the mod.

As you might expect, it took ten times longer to package and post this image than it took to make the mod in the first place

Hopefully people find it helpful.
