First thank you very much for this write up (what is an appropriate FTC tip amount)
Second I am having a small issue (Linux Ubuntu)
Everything went very smooth except for the following:
zlib1g-dev This is a number 1 in front of the g? Or lowercase L? I can’t find this package
And Theese are my errors
Checking for gawk… No
Checking wether to enable maintainer-specific portions of makefiles…no
Checking wether the C compiler works…no
Configure error: in ‘/usr/local/cpuminer’:
Configure: error: c compiler cannot create executables
UPDATE: working and hashing Yay!!!
Fix: do the following
autoconf
automake
bison
build-essential
flex
gawk
libtool
You should be OK for compiling then.
