Move away from custom mesa fork #1

Closed Titaniumtown closed 2 years ago

Titaniumtown commented 2 years ago

Is there a possibility to move away from requiring to install a custom mesa fork to get this miner to work? It's really a pain to set up.

It no longer requires superuser or modification to the root partition: see the updated instructions.

If build time is an issue, check out pre-built binaries from https://github.com/ishitatsuyuki/acominer/releases.

A fork of mesa is required for the foreseeable future, primarily due to the memory allocation cap at 4GB. It's patched out in acominer's fork but it does violate several Vulkan requirements by doing so.

Ah ok. Thank you for the information!
