Linux conf/compile errors

[GenMalfunction]

Cloned the repo, cd'd to the dir, and:

$ ./build.sh make: No rule to make target 'distclean'. Stop. clean ./autogen.sh: 8: ./autogen.sh: aclocal: Too many levels of symbolic links done configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in "." "./.." "./../.." make: No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. strip: 'cpuminer': No such file

FYI: I believe I made a little progress.

Found a reference to similar autoconf-related issues, and after running the following in the build dir, make at least attempts to compile.

$ autoreconf -vif $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/lib/erlang/lib $ make

(started with the 2nd answer from https://askubuntu.com/questions/27677/cannot-find-install-sh-install-sh-or-shtool-in-ac-aux)

make still errors out, however:

... /home/markn/IT Work Space/cpuminer-opt/util.c:711: undefined reference to curl_easy_reset' /home/markn/IT Work Space/cpuminer-opt/util.c:612: undefined reference tocurl_easy_getinfo' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:2026: recipe for target 'cpuminer' failed make[2]: [cpuminer] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/markn/IT Work Space/cpuminer-opt' Makefile:6402: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/markn/IT Work Space/cpuminer-opt' Makefile:979: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2

Also tried make clean and running all suggested steps (from the askubuntu thread above) in both the first and second answers, with the same result.

Does this compile on Linux for anyone?

[GenMalfunction]

(re)re-checked myself, and after installing all the autoconf resources, ./build.sh does run to completion now.

Perhaps this is just a "documentation bug," in that those dependencies ought to be documented -- or perhaps more autoconf magic needs to be done prior to rolling the "distribution tarball" for Linux.

EDIT:

I'm leaving my previous comment for reference, because I still ultimately think it has value.

I posted that update too quickly, assuming that a clean compile meant I had a binary that would run -- my compiled binary doesn't appear to recognize any of the algorithms I'm interested in running at this time.

Thus far have asked it to run the following:

This is a user issue not a cpuminer-opt issue. There are many open forums to get newbie help. This isn't one of them.

Also that's quite the attitude assuming everyone else has the same problem as you. No it's only you. RTFM for how to specify algos properly.

it's not just him.
