CGMiner
Download the AMD SDK and ADL SDK from:
- http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/
- http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/graphics-development/display-library-adl-sdk/
Extract the archives and copy:
- AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8.1.0-RC-lnx64/include -> /build_dir/include
- AMD-APP-SDK-v2.8.1.0-RC-lnx64/lib/x86_64 -> /build_dir/lib
- ADL-SDK/include/*.h -> /build_dir/cgminer-3.3.4/ADL_SDK/
In the cgminer-3.3.4 source directory, run:
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -I/build_dir/include" LDFLAGS="-L/build_dir/lib" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/miner --enable-scrypt
make
make install
Since I do not want to install the OpenCL libs, I had to copy them over to /usr/local/miner/libs manually, and run cgminer with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable defined:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/miner/lib ./cgminer --help
P2Pool
Get the source
git clone git://github.com/forrestv/p2pool.git
Install Dependencies
Either install the packages from yum or from source. The dependencies that are needed are:
- Twisted
- zope
- Argparse
From yum, run:
yum install python-argparse python-twisted python-twisted-web
Since the Twisted library is somewhat old, you might want to build it from source by getting it from:
And also the dependency:
Extract the archives, and run the setup.py script to build. (You will need python-devel and gcc to build)
Running P2Pool
Run run_p2pool.py

#### I am not responsible for you using these instructions.
####
#### If you choose to follow anything you read here that is
#### your problem, not mine. I have written these instructions
#### for my personal use for my particular machine in an effort
#### to help me mine bitcoin. If you follow these instructions
#### you may or may not have success, neither of which are any
#### concern of mine because you are the fool who followed me
#### off the bridge. I did not push you.
####
#### I am proposing here to build a TOTALLY INSECURE HIGH
#### POWERED PASSWORD CRACKING MACHINE which MAY OR MAY NOT
#### BE LEGAL TO POSESS WHERE YOU LIVE. If the policeman
#### puts you in jail because you followed what I wrote here
#### that is your fault, not mine. You need to be aware of
#### local, national and international laws before you decide
#### to build a high powered password cracker. If this gets
#### into the wrong hands and it starts a nuclear war and
#### and some hostile government decides to end the world
#### guess what... that's not my fault either.

#### Section 2 - Setting up Centos
#############################################################
####
#### While at your windows desktop machine you need to
#### download the ISO from http://vault.centos.org/6.0/isos/
####
#### (I will be using the 64 bit OS from here on out)
####
#### The ISO can be burned to CD, DVD or USB
####
#### (I will burn the ISO to a 2GB+ USB flash drive)
####
#### Download the ISO from:
#### http://vault.centos.org/6.0/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.iso
####
#### Download and install Pendrivelinux Windows Software:
#### http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
####
#### 0. Plug in your flash drive and wait for it to register
####
#### 1. start pendrivelinux universal USB installer
#### 2. selects CentOS from "other distros alphabetically"
#### 3. select the CentOS LIVE iso you downloaded
#### (CentOS-6.0-x86_64-LiveCD.iso)
#### 4. select your drive letter and format the drive
#### 5. safely remove flash drive and plug into new machine
#### 6. boot up and install CentOS with the menus
#### 7. after intallation log in as root (or su) and:
#### 7a. set up network so IP is fixed so you can log in remotely
#### 7b. turn on the SSH daemon so you can log in (service sshd start)
#### 7c. make sshd starts each time you boot (chkconfig sshd on)
#### 8. now I like to go back to my nice desk and chair
#### 8a. dowload and install putty so you can talk to your box
#### http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
#### using a new ssh connection, connect to your machine as the
#### user you set up during installation. (it's a bad idea to log
#### in as root from a remote location).
#### 9. while you are sitting there at your desk download and install
#### xming windows xwindow emulator from here:
#### http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=156984&filename=Xming-6-9-0-31-setup.exe
#### 10. modify yum
####
#### cut and paste one command at a time
####
#### become root user

#### change directory to yum repo directory
cd /etc/yum.repos.d

##
## important note on installing AMD Drivers under linux:
##
## be certain you have the kernel-devel for YOUR kernel
yum list installed | grep kernel-*
##
## output should look like this
#dracut-kernel.noarch 004-32.el6 installed
#kernel.x86_64 2.6.32-71.el6 installed
#kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 @updates
#kernel-firmware.noarch 2.6.32-71.el6 installed
#kernel-headers.x86_64 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 @updates
#[root@localhost ~]#
#
# notice that I DO NOT have a matched kernel and kernel-devel version.
# they must match EXACTLY or you will not be successful in the
# next steps. I have:
# kernel.x86_64 2.6.32-71.el6 installed
# and
# kernel-devel.x86_64 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6 @updates
#
# the difference is so slight you may have missed it
# my subversion 32-71.29.1.el6 does NOT match 32-71.el6
##
## check your distribution
uname -r
##
## you can have multiple kernel-devel's that is not a problem
## if you are lucky this command works
yum install kernel-devel-$(uname -r)
#### if this was successful move on to the next section
#### proceed to package generation
####******#*#*#*#*#*##*#*####******#*#*#*#*#*##*#*
####
#### optional section if kernels do not match
####
####
#### You will need to find another "kernel" with
### a matching "kernel-devel" package
####
#### yum --showduplicates list kernel-devel
####
#### to download a specific package just add
#### the version to the name, for example if
#### I want kernel-devel 2.6.32-358.el6 I
#### just add a hyphen
####
#### yum install kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.el6
####
####
####******#*#*#*#*#*##*#*####******#*#*#*#*#*##*#*

####
####[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
####[Error] Kernel Module : Kernel module build environment not found - please consult readme.
####
####
#### This error indicated you do not have the correct kernel-devel libs to match your kernel
#### (I told you it wouldn't work).
####
#### with xming installed on my pc when I use putty I don't even need to
#### export my display. I can just start playing with opencl and opengl

#### if you are not seeing all your GPU's at this stage something is wrong.
#### first check lspci
lspci -nn | grep VGA
#### if that does not show all your cards you need to hard-boot your computer.
#### it make take several attempts and some plugging and unpluggging monitor
#### cables. There seems to be little method to the madness but make sure
#### you can see all your GPU's now or you can't mine with them. Even though
#### centos was designed to handle multiple GPU's off the bat I still find the
#### best way to 'light up' a port is to have a monitor plugged in during hard
#### boot. I'm sure the resistor based dongle approach would work as well.

## I forgot to log into the linux box.
## so here's what I need to make this work
## I go to the centos box and log in as my

## then I pull down the menu and open a

#### After 24hrs of burn in read the logfile. Make sure nothing strange happened.
#### Here's how you read the log:
more logfile.txt
#### If you don't see any errors set your miner to your favorite pool and off you go.
#### Then set that file aside so you can refer to it later.
cp logfile.txt burninlog.txt
#### in the future, unless you are having problems you can remove the --per-device-stats and the logging
#### from the command line, so it looks like this: (don't forget to change the address!!)
./cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mining.eligius.st:3334 -u 1NQc6tCtRmT8zBeLKNpboFaUBMLcxDwUm6 -p x0 -I 9
