Installing cpuminer-multi on macOS 10.13.2 (High Sierra)

This assumes you have brew installed and are comfortable using a terminal.

Following the guide on https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi will likely lead to errors about invalid paths to OpenSSL, and neoscrypt errors to the tune of Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 during the build. I managed to piece together different fixes into an installation that has worked for me. So I hope it works for you.

Requirements

Ensure a c compiler is installed. Type g++ in the terminal and continue with the xcode installation if necessary. If it prints clang: error: no input files, then you can proceed.

# install dependencies
brew install automake openssl zlib curl jansson make

Installation

# clone repo
git clone https://github.com/tpruvot/cpuminer-multi.git

# run build scripts
cd cpuminer-multi
./autogen.sh
./nomacro.pl
# where /usr/local/opt/openssl is your brew bin openssl
./configure CFLAGS="-march=native" --with-crypto=/usr/local/opt/openssl  --with-curl
# Due to some issues within ASM Neoscrypt
perl -p -i -e "s/#if \(WINDOWS\)/#define ASM 0\n#if (WINDOWS)/g" algo/neoscrypt.c
# aaand make
make

If you get an error about Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:, check out @liukun's solution below.

Start mining!

# example, using Ravencoin on suprnova
./cpuminer -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://rvn.suprnova.cc:6666 -u [username].[workername] -p [workerpassword]

To stop mining just kill the process with ctrl+c, then start it up again when required.

To adjust your mining power, use the -t flag. -t is the number of CPU cores (threads) to use when mining. So ./cpuminer -a x16r -t 1 ... would just use 1 core (good for mining in the background). I believe by default it uses all available cores.

Thanks to

Very cool - worked like a charm. Hard to believe that X16r can work on CPU. Although xmr-stak on Monero is going to give way better results (meaning a whopping .20c/day - lol). Running a 2017 MBP 13" with i7 fully loaded. But really can't get much hash on a CPU with RVN. I get about 100hz/s on XMR. Looks like I get about 20Khz on X16r. Really fun to play with though. Great instructions!! Dying to try it on my 15" MBP - way more power but still suspect Cryptonight performs better on CPU. I can only get about 50Mhz out of my 6 card AMD rx580 rig so its a challenging algo all around. Great coin though.

Hi,

I am running the mining but I am not getting accepted yes! to contribute to the pool. Any ideas

@quagliero

@Kezchenko Which coin? RVN? Could just be due to the sheer number of miners and hashrate on the network that your CPU isn't submitting any valid shares in time.

@superpilot21 Strange. Did all of the brew dependencies install correctly? aclocal is part of automake so maybe try brew install automake?

This might help if you don't know where openssl is installed:

$ ./configure CFLAGS="-march=native" --with-crypto=`which openssl` --with-curl

whatever the username and password is for your pool worker (a lot of times the password isn't required and the username is your wallet address)

Just wondering if someone can help me of the error I'm getting when I execute the 'make' command. Thanks a lot in advance.

Hey @quagliero, i have downloaded homebrew, but get this error when I input this command:

install dependencies

brew install automake openssl zlib curl jansson make

This comes up:

@lasbr Have you tried to replace all unsigned long (typed as ulong there) with uint32_t in algo/rainforest.c file?
I had the same issue as well, and was able to build it correctly with the method above.

Just I need to change algo/x16rv2.c line 69

// Pad the 24 bytes tiger hash to 64 bytes
inline void padtiger512(uint32_t* hash) {
	for (int i = (24/4); i < (64/4); i++) hash[i] = 0;
}

from inline to static inline, otherwise, there will be an error:

If you get

[2021-04-17 01:09:00] ...retry after 10 seconds

Try and change your worker's password that doesn't include quotes and any other special characters. I created a new worker with a simple password and that fixed the issue.
