sirwlm/xmr-stak-cpu

Monero CPU miner

Compile on Linux (Debian-based distros)

GNU Compiler

    sudo apt-get install libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev cmake build-essential
    cmake .
    make install

• GCC version 5.1 or higher is required for full C++11 support. CMake release compile scripts, as well as CodeBlocks build environment for debug builds is included.

To do a static build for a system without gcc 5.1+

    cmake -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON .
    make install

Note - cmake caches variables, so if you want to do a dynamic build later you need to specify '-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE'

Advanced Compile Options

The build system is CMake, if you are not familiar with CMake you can learn more here.

Short Description

There are two easy ways to set variables for cmake to configure xmr-stak-cpu

• use the ncurses GUI
  • ccmake .
  • edit your options
  • end the GUI by pressing the key c(create) and than g(generate)
• set Options on the command line
  • enable a option: cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=ON
  • disable a option cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=OFF
  • set a value cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=value

After the configuration you need to call make install for slow sequential build or make -j install for faster parallel build and install.
