Arch Linux User Repository

This fails if "jansson" is already installed on the system. The configure script doesn't appear to have an option to work around this easily. The PKGBUILD does not take this into account either.

Assuming you have the necessary packages (wget, unzip, opencl-headers, opencl-catalyst, ocl-icd, base-devel, headers package for your kernel), what worked for me was getting the files directly:

1. Download the latest .bz2 for either "32-bit Linux or 64-bit Linux" from https://developer.amd.com/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/

2. Move it to your desired directory for unpacking.

3. tar xvjf the .bz2 file and run the installer .sh as root.

4. reboot your system.

5. Download the latest .zip from https://developer.amd.com/display-library-adl-sdk/

6. Move it to your desired directory and unzip it. We will refer to the folder as 'folder/ADL_SDK'.

7. cd into your desired directory first.

8. git clone https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

9. Edit replace all files in the 'sgminer/algorithm' folder: "sed -i 's/^inline //g' sgminer/algorithm/*"

10. cp the files from your 'folder/ADL_SDK/include' folder into 'sigminer/ADL_SDK'

11. cd into the 'sigminer' folder.

12. git submodule init

13. git submodule update

14. autoreconf -i

15. CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native -std=gnu99" ./configure

16. make && make install

Consider changing to nicehash's sgminer? https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer

sgminer-dev hasn't had a release since 2015, but nicehash still patches theirs.

Also, I think opencl-mesa as an optdepend instead of catalyst would be good, unless it doesn't work?

I used noraj's suggestion of changing url= to the sgminer-dev github; and also changed libcl in the PKGBUILD to ocl-icd. Get this error trying to build:

When wanting to keep ocl-icd (libcl) build fails:

==> Install or build missing dependencies for sgminer:
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
:: opencl-catalyst and ocl-icd are in conflict (libcl). Remove ocl-icd? [y/N] N
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: opencl-catalyst and ocl-icd are in conflict

In PKGBUILD, change url="https://github.com/veox/sgminer" to url="https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer"

Muelso reporting a known issue is not "out of date" there is no newer version of this package. Use the features of the AUR appropriately.

This is the new lib i'll replace libcl with "ocl-icd"

EDIT: Not renamed, totally new package but provides the same dependency

First issue, libcl was renamed to ocl-icd AFAIK. I'll fix that first.
