Noob at Ubuntu and building c++ programs (ethash)

ConradJohnson

So I've gone through all of the dependencies, have my OpenCL installed and Mapped (Nvidia) and have had successful cmake and make commands in the build directory of my project cloned from : https://github.com/ethereum/ethash with no errors

So my question is... now what? I'm not able to run the ethash with ./ethash .

I've tried running 'make install' but no install target is found in makefile.

This is feeling futile... wiping machine again.

Hi @ConradJohnson, ethash is just a library as far as I know, you need to compile CPP-Ethereum and run it through there (it uses ethash).

Hope this is helps. If you're still having issues maybe submit a issue to the GitHub repo. Also, feel free to reach out to me in a PM!

ConradJohnson

Awesome. I'll give this a try.

@GeorgeHallam - this was the key George. I incorrectly assumed it was a standalone. Thanks for the direction.

@ConradJohnson - There is a standalone miner (but it's new, and unsupported, like everything that's not part of the Frontier release). You can find it at https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/tree/develop/ethminer

Roger that @StephanTual - this is what I must have been confusing with the libraries.
