Unfortunately 20.04 is only available in the LTS version not the prebuild version which pi requires. Does anyone know if I can run bfgminer on these newpacs? For whatever reason I can compile that.
Well just use the Raspberry OS. It's made for it after all.
BFG Miner doesn't support newpacs. They developed their own version of CGMiner to support these.
I think I am just missing some package that it requires to compile, but I just don't know which one. The packages that it lists are fairly minimum, as the compiling would error out it would give you a clue to what was missing, for example libz. I am looking for a way to figure out what might be missing but the error message is not descriptive. Is there a way to debug the compile?
