I spent the last few hours working on getting this compiled. I'm using a VM within windows 7.
I tried 4 different flavors of Linux and either it doesn't like Linux Mint 32/64 bit or Ubuntu 64 or
I'm missing some dependents it needs to compile correctly & never makes the cpumimer executable.
What OS and version are you using? I'll give it another go once I get that info from you.
My Linux skills are pretty rusty "never was all that great to stat with" but I'm fairly sure I was doing everything correctly.
I also use Fedora 20 x64. It has to be 64 bit but other than that Mint should work. A VM is not the issue I build
windows in a VM.
You'll need libcurl-devel and some form of ssl development package (F20 has openssl-devel).
That's about all I can offer without more info. Make sure you follow the instruction in the README.md.
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=native" --with-crypto --with-curl
make
Take care, -O3 is an upper case O not a zero.
If you can compile cpuminer-multi-1.1 you should be able to compile cpuminer-1.9-RC. I you can't compile
either it's something at your end.
Post your error messages for more help.
