Soontech RX 580 ellesmere 8gb not mining with ethminer using ethos; Receiving the error "Creating DAG buffer failed: clCreateBuffer: CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE (-61)"
Similar posts https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/issues/1966
What is not clear is the fix. There is a mention, "You can continue using ethminer if you can build the binary on your own
See instructions here https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer#build"
Download ethminer-0.18.0-cuda-8-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
Are these correct? (from: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/BUILD.md)
$ sudo apt install libdbus-1-dev
$ sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
$ sudo make install
