First I would like to say that I am new to Ubuntu and Linux.

I get an error with the make install when following the below instructions to install a Linux version of cpuminer-multi.

make: No rule to make target 'install'. Stop.

I have placed what is in the folder that gets created when I attempt to install at the end. What am I missing?

  • The line before "make install" ? – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:14
  • cmake is like configure. You have to run make after it. – Melebius May 21 '18 at 13:14
  • Will try that. And to be sure, it should look like this: # cmake ..

    sudo make

    make install

     – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:17
  • @Melebius that's not usually true in my experience - if there is an install target, it typically depends on the default all target and builds that first. It also wouldn't explain the No rule to make target 'install' error. – steeldriver May 21 '18 at 13:21

    @ Antonio Not sudo make, just make. sudo should be only applicable for the install phase. BTW do you have any Makefile? It should be generated by CMake. If not, check the CMake output for errors. @steeldriver You might be right. It looks like CMake did not finish successfully. – Melebius May 21 '18 at 13:28
  • @Melebius yes I think that's the more likely explanation - in particular, it seems to want CUDA and OpenCL by default so the OP may need to add -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF to the cmake command if these are not available on their system – steeldriver May 21 '18 at 13:33
  • Then what would cause cmake to not install correctly? And how do I fix that? – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:35

    You almost certainly don't need to install cmake itself from source - use apt like you did for the other build tools – steeldriver May 21 '18 at 13:35
  • Forgive me, being really new to Linux, how would I use the "apt"? I normally use "apt" with other things, like "get" and so on. But I am not familiar with all the syntax "apt" can use. Could you be more specific in its use? – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:38
  • @AntonioFigueroa apt-get install cmake. In recent Ubuntu versions, you can replace the apt-get calls with simple apt. After all, APT is the name of all the complex system. – Melebius May 21 '18 at 13:39
  • Yeah, cmake is broken. Should I just blow it away and reinstall Ubuntu? – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:46
  • The error that gets outputted is really long. I will try another version of Ubuntu to see if that helps. Sorry we did not get anywhere with this, but I will plug away till I get it down and working. – Antonio Figueroa May 21 '18 at 13:48

    In case you hadn't noticed, you already used apt when you did sudo apt install gcc-5 g++-5 make – steeldriver May 21 '18 at 15:04
  • @AntonioFigueroa If CMake is broken, reinstall CMake. If Ubuntu is broken, reinstall Ubuntu. – Melebius May 21 '18 at 15:25

The correct way on installation is as follows (tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS):

  1. Get all needed dependencies

    sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential git libmicrohttpd-dev \
libssl-dev libhwloc-dev

  2. Clone repository

    git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git

  3. Configure and compile source

    cd xmr-stak
mkdir build
cd build

# I do not have CUDA and OpenCL-capable hardware, so I disabled them
cmake .. -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF 

make

  4. Install the application

    sudo make install
