How to compile a new version of the sgminer. I need x11 quark. GRS these algorithms. Thank you very much for your work!

you need the module coreutil.sb that you can grab from slax site or that you can directly activate in the console:

Code:
slax activate coreutils
 or perhaps that is:
Code:
slax activate modtools
 I dont know I didn't try, but I did try this
Code:
slax activate git

then you navigate under the directory /opt/miners There are all the miners you want to modify or to add new ones.

to add the optimized X11mod :

Code:
git clone https://github.com/lasybear/sph-sgminer_x11mod
cd sph-sgminer_x11mod
./autogen.sh
./configure
make

then modify mining.conf with your user data

and you are good to go with ./start.sh under that directory

If you want to preciously keep the install you made as a module, once you are done playing with it, just try:

Code:
dir2sb /opt/miners/sph-sgminer_x11mod /mnt/live/memory/bundles/4015-x11mod.sb

That should save your install under modules directory. Not sure how this works however, because those changes are already saved.  The module conversion is useful only to be reused in another live Cryptslax USB distro without having to go through all the above. Or if you want to erase the changes directory because you've messed things up and need to reset them in the original state.  

Repeat the same process for any other mining software you wish to install.

If you have questions, dont ask me, I have no idea! I just found this stuff by tinkering around with cryptoslax.. Grin
