Hy Fanatic26,
I am trying to build a version of the original bmminer with only one change: minimum fans 0 or 1; and this would be replacing the original bmminer on the actual S9 controlboard.

The reason(s) for this need is that I have a "defective" controlboard that can only detect one Fan... (I have bought it as defect, but that is the only defect it has, and I do not want to put it in the garbage bin).
The other reason is just to learn a bit of linux/compiling/crosscompiling...
 
This would also help people that want fanless S9's for oil immersion.. Wink.
Reading through the source-code, I saw a line that mentioned "minimum number of fans"   which default has a value of 2.
Changing that line means that the whole bmminer needs to be recompiled.

Can you help me with this?
