Try replacing "-f elf64" with "-f macho64" in the x86_64/Makefile as a workaround. Also, you need to make sure you're producing a 64-bit binary while you're compiling. Can't remember how to do that with XCode, but if you don't, the SSE2 code as written will fail. The code uses the added registers that come with the x86_64 architecture to prevent reading/writing to memory.

No dice. I ran the configure with the arch x86_64 command like this:

Code:

CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2 -arch x86_64" ./configure

then edited the x86_64/Makefile as you suggested (elf -> macho). I still get the similar error shown here:

Code:

Seems like something, perhaps gcc (Version: i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)) , doesn't like the file x86_64/libx8664.a? That or I am not forcing a proper 64bit build for the confused Mac compiler.

For interest, I installed Debian on a virtual machine on my MacBook Pro and compiled cpuminer with SSE2_64 there with no problem. In fact, it runs quite well in the VM - over 3600 hashes/core/sec on the mobile i7, and over 3000 hashes/core/sec on the older Xeons in the MacPro.
