Re: Packages for cgminer & bfgminer on Mac OS X

I've had luck getting it running on my MacBook Pro ... but does anyone know how I would go about getting it to use my modminer fpga cards, instead of the gpu or cpu?

When installing replace --enable-scrypt with --enable-modminer

There doesn't seem to be much of an option to tell it to install with --enable-modminer  ... using homebrew, it all seems pretty automated and whereas in Linux I'd type "./configure --enable-modminer" it doesn't recognize the command in mac.

you need to download the cgminer.rb file - right click this link and choose download

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/qq8t51otgry14p3/cgminer.rb

- that's where it has the enable option. change it as above
if you're familiar with the options on the command line you can see the autogen, make and install are in there too so you can set it up how you like.

then (if it's on your desktop):

brew install ~/Desktop/cgminer.rb

I'm looking at distributing binaries for both with MacMiner soon though, so if you prefer not to have to keep track of homebrew etc. you can always cross your fingers I'll get that done this weekend Wink

Note that you can also do

Code:
brew edit cgminer

That will open the .rb file in a text editor  Grin

Hi, thank you for your reply.

I had another install of curl that got in the way, so I removed it which leaves me with both the system and the homebrew version.

However, I could start the miner by exporting

Code:
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.29.0/lib"

All is fine now, thanks a lot for your help  Grin

Whoops:

Code:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.4.dylib
  Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/bfgminer
  Reason: Incompatible library version: bfgminer requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libcurl.4.dylib provides version 7.0.0
Trace/BPT trap: 5

if you have $2500 to invest on mining, get an asic rig. your best bet right now is to buy chips from zefir and then get the rig from burnin.

And then what ? For $2500 you have less power than the 1000 main miners on any pool which means it will take ages to get proper ROI. Spend $25000 (or more) or buy BTC rather than mine them ;-)

Opinions on where the price will be at by the end of the year?

Very low. States will impose that their central bank signature is in the blockchain in order to allow change with fiat currencies. Important changes are ahead.

How long have you waited? It sometimes takes me 20 minutes or so to get my first connection. Pretty sure it shouldn't, but not really worth bothering to fix.

May be long indeed
