Standalone miner

[FreeTrade]

Oh dear. I think I'm going to give up on this. Thanks for your assistance, but I think we're still too far off.

Instead I'm going to work on embedding a pool-compatible miner in the main distribution.

Thanks - hopefully down to the last few errors now - uploaded the changes.

Oops - I put those headers in the wrong file.

Changed now - let's give it another whirl.

yeah, I know C about as well as I know Hindi. Which is to say, I do not know it at all but the characters look like something I might have seen on TV once.

For me, I need someone to very explicitly say what needs to be done. I mean, I know what an include is, but I do not understand how C works well enough to determine EXACTLY what needs to be included. :\

I know you're trying to be helpful, but it's quite simply not enough to help me, unfortunately.

so do i, i'm only familiar with windows + visual studio + c# 
just trying to get the source and try make build on ubuntu server to see how it going

//btw, just got another block

momemtum.hpp is missing, only momentum.h is exist, which one i can use?

// just pass the "this_thread" not declare by adding some includes in top of momentum.cpp

[radiumsoup]

sorry for the length of the interval, I had a client that needed attending to.

I cannot seem to get -fmax-errors to work; it treats "-f" as the flag to specify a makefile. I know very little about compiling with gcc other than copying and pasting instructions, so I don't know how to look any further into this.

I still get the same first two errors; I verified by hand that getwork_miner.cpp added the 3 include lines and that line 190 in momentum.cpp is commented out (those are the two changes in git). The third error is different.

ok - more fixes checked in.

Also if you can set this to a higher number, we might more errors to fix.

Okay - new code updated - removed some fc refs.

Hmm - try clearing out your build folder, and check the momentum.h file that you've got to ensure bignum.h line is changed.

my bad, I must have missed a step somewhere.
