Okay, so I was thinking it would be smooth sailing from here... I should know by now that's never how it works!  I'm terrible at reading error output, so I thank anyone ahead of time for the brainpower invested.

While trying to compile:

g++ -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now  -o ptsminer  obj/cpuid.o obj/sha512_avx.o obj/sha512_sse4.o obj/sha512.o obj/sph_sha2.o obj/sph_sha2big.o obj/main_poolminer.o  -Wl,-Bdynamic -l boost_system -l boost_filesystem -l boost_program_options -l boost_thread-mt -Wl,-Bdynamic -l z -l dl -l pthread
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ptsminer] Error 1

edit: My previous post with more info on my rig

It would be helpful for new people working under linux to have the following instruction stated in first post:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix
git clone https://github.com/thbaumbach/ptsminer
cd ~/ptsminer/src
make -f makefile.unix
./ptsminer <your PTS address> <number of threads>

Running CentOS 6.5, this command doesn't work for me.  I'm 99% (there's always that 1%...) certain I have all the dependencies required.  This is the output I receive:

make -f makefile.unix
g++ -c -O2  -fpermissive -o obj/cpuid.o cpuid.c
make: g++: Command not found
make: *** [obj/cpuid.o] Error 127

When I run ./osfinder.sh, it correctly recognizes my distro as RedHat.  The error references "cpuid.o", where that file doesn't seem to exist in the .zip I downloaded.

It's probably a PEBKAC issue, but I can't figure out why this won't compile!  Hopefully I provided all relevant info necessary.

edit:  I also have tried the following from Jabbaah found here:

I checked the ptsminer compilation on a CentOS 6.3 VM now. Following is the way it works...

Use the makefile.unix.no-chrono - fire up your favourite editor and change line 27 as follows:

Old:
   -l boost_thread$(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX)

New:
   -l boost_thread-mt$(BOOST_LIB_SUFFIX)

Now compile using
make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono clean
make -f makefile.unix.no-chrono

Voilà! You should get a brand new ptsminer on CentOS.  ;-)
