building on osx about cudaminer HOT 76 OPEN

I also have attempted to port this software to OSX, and got about as far as you did. I did create a crashlog and the gdb to see where the seg fault was though, not sure if it really helps.

from cudaminer.

Did someone ever resolve this?

from cudaminer.

Not I, sorry, i eventually gave up, and moved on to other projects.

from cudaminer.

I've been able to compile it on OSX, and it does run for me, but - with sha256d only, scrypt gives me segfaults.

Speed is extremely low, but at least it does run.
Afair, OpenCL (cgminer) gives me some 20mhash/sec.

This would mean the issue is somewhere in the scrypt implementation throwing segfaults - at least now we know where to look :)

from cudaminer.

Any chance for running/compiling this with scrypt an Mac OS X 10.6.8?

from cudaminer.

http://atomton.roon.io/compiling-cudaminer-on-os-x-10-9

Those darn CUDA Toolkits with their not including lib64 for OS X.

On a GTX 760 I'm seeing around 160kh/s to 130kh/s which is 10kh/s less than what I get on windows but twice as much as cgminer on OS X.

Make sure to do "xcode-select --install" to ensure you have all the command line tools needed. Also the article doesn't make it very clear on how to install gcc 4.9, but the site to download it from explains that you need to do gunzip on the .tar.gz to get a .tar file. Also be sure to remove any previous CUDA toolkits installed (just drag them to the trash) so that there is no conflict. Finally, make sure to change line 6433 in the configure file even though there is a else statement with the same code you're editing right underneath it, that's just a shortcut I made the mistake of making. I stumbled upon this article just tonight and I'm tired.

I've only tested this on Mavericks, also I'm on a hackintosh (but shouldn't make a difference as the article uses a real mac). I hope someone could test this with older versions of OS X, gcc, and/or CUDA Toolkit. It seems like they will work but I cannot guarantee it.

But all the credit goes to the article for figuring out how to build cudaminer on OS X.

from cudaminer.

I followed the blog article's instructions, except I'm using Mountain Lion and I installed gcc-4.9 from the homebrew-versions tap and exported it as CC.

I'm getting the following error when running make:

@Nitrouspony I will update my article with your suggestions, thanks!

@Kudu Unfortunately I didn't have a chance to try and compile it on 10.8 yet since all my Macs are currently running 10.9, but I'm going to setup 10.8 on a spare HDD and see what I can do.

from cudaminer.

@Kudu I have built cudaminer for 10.8.5 based on the directions from @atomton. I came up against a different error than you, but I mention it here in case it could help you (or someone else).

The error I came up against was earlier in the build than you are seeing:

make all-recursive Making all in compat make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'. /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -O3 -arch=compute_10 --maxrregcount=64 --ptxas-options=-v -o salsa_kernel.o -c salsa_kernel.cu /usr/local/include/c++/4.8.1/cstdlib(178): error: identifier "__int128" is undefined

A stackoverflow search indicates that this is a CUDA/gcc issue, and that using an older version of gcc might help. Based on that suggestion I was able to build successfully with gcc 4.6.4

from cudaminer.

Here is the compilation result:

@joker5bb Use CUDA 5.0 Toolkit and GCC 4.6.4.

from cudaminer.

Tried following the OS X 10.9 instructions with CUDA 5.5 toolkit and GCC 4.9, then installed CUDA 5.0 toolkit and result is the same. Seems basic. Here is my error msg:

using CUDA Toolkit 5.0, homebrew installed gcc-4.9 (with CC, CPP and CXX variables pointing to it), although the output of gcc -v is:
Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0 Thread model: posix

from cudaminer.

@tzbauknight I think CUDA 5.0 only supports GCC versions below 4.7 – I'm using 4.6.4 when compiling with CUDA 5.0.

from cudaminer.

All right...switched CC, CPP and CXX variables to point at gcc46, also installed via homebrew. Same error.

from cudaminer.

@tzbauknight Did you try altering the $PATH environment variable yet, so gcc actually points to gcc and not clang? I personally use MacPorts, so I'm not sure how brew handles this.

In addition, I just updated my original post about compiling on OS X with new instructions for CUDA 5.0 and GCC 4.6.4.

from cudaminer.

@atomton Thanks, cudaminer compiled for me on OS X 10.9

from cudaminer.

I started over from scratch, following the new instructions. I have environment variables CC, CPP and CXX all pointing to gcc46 as installed by homebrew. ./configure with those arguments seems to use gcc-4.6 and creates the necessary files. "make" results in the following:

"which gcc" returns:

`````` /usr/bin/gcc```

My $PATH looks like this:

/usr/local/cuda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin

Thanks for all your help. Looking forward to getting this running! 10.9 Hackintosh lo-speed mining!

from cudaminer.

sorry..."which gcc" points to /usr/bin/gcc which I'm guessing is some sort of front end for the wrong thing. I'm not a coder, but I don't mind tinkering with things like this. All help appreciated on setting up my dev environment. Learning.

from cudaminer.

@tzbauknight Problem with Mavericks is that /usr/bin/gcc maps to clang – hence the dumpspecs error. Now, your $PATH is set up to look in /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin – like I said before, no idea how homebrew handles this, but you might give the following command a try, to see if there is something like gcc-4.6:
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep gcc

This will list all files named like gcc in /usr/local/bin – supposing homebrew puts it in there.

from cudaminer.

Progress! Got past the above using gcc-4.8 and CUDA 5.5 Toolkit. Here is the current error:

all the gcc-4.X versions are in /usr/local/bin where homebrew puts them, just not sure how to make sure they're referenced before the Apple clang other than using CC=gcc-4.6 in .profile.

from cudaminer.

@tzbauknight Well, that's the reason you should use CUDA 5.0. However, if you want to try it with GCC 4.6 and CUDA 5.0 again, you could try using an alias like:
alias gcc='gcc-4.6'

from cudaminer.

i am up to the same place as tzbauknight. I understand some other people have gotten further, could be the exact version of the cuds drivers that are at fault but I do know people with 5.5 who have managed to compile cudaminer!

from cudaminer.

@mad4coinz I compiled it with 5.5 back then as well. With older versions of CudaMiner. Now, with recent versions of CudaMiner, CUDA 5.5 is making trouble, and switching to 5.0 is not only faster (at least for me), but also actually compiles without problems (if you set it up correctly).

from cudaminer.

Lol the penny just dropped, I was reading the instructions on

http://atomton.roon.io/compiling-cudaminer-on-os-x-10-9
Hello! :)
So now I need to get CUDA 5.5 uninstalled and 5.0 back on or wait for a newer version of cudaminer...

anyone have direct links to cuds 5.0 and uninstall tips? Thanks!

from cudaminer.

@mad4coinz You can just delete the /Developer/Nvidia folder to uninstall the CUDA Toolkit. (Or delete the specific Toolkit version inside)

Here is an archive of the CUDA Toolkit on Nvidia's website.
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-archive

from cudaminer.

Thanks, all I need now whilst the toolkit is downloading is gcc 4.6.4, just trying to find that for download at the moment, then i'll make the necessary path and env changes mentioned above and hopefully will be good to go :)

from cudaminer.

Switched back to 4.6 and DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to /Developer/NVIDIA/CUDA 5.0...somehow earlier error corrected itself. CUDA 5.5 Toolkit is still installed however, so I suppose the stuff in /usr/local/cuda could be still related to 5.5?

Problem seems to be that /usr/local/cuda/nvcc is calling clang instead of gcc...tried setting CUDA_HOST_COMPILER env variable to /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.6, but it still fails the same way. Also tried setting that in the nvcc.profile in /usr/local/cuda/bin...no dice. Still calling clang.

from cudaminer.

My whole thing seems to be screwed up with regard to the variety of installed C compilers. Anybody know a good way to just get rid of what Apple ships, or to make sure my stuff in /usr/local/ takes precedence? I'd like to keep XCode around and the command-line tools it expects, but not if it's going to interfere with brew and things like this. Any good guides as to what should be where, $PATH order, symlinking in /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.6, etc? Just need to make sure I have a better understanding of my build environment. Thanks!

I've got a new one for this:

Just that, and I'm using 10.9 with CUDA 5.0 and gcc 4.6.4

from cudaminer.

@mad4coinz You can use MacPorts like I did in my post, and download GCC with that.

@tzbauknight I guess nvcc calls gcc, which still maps to clang on your system. Hence the "alias" tip.

@kenzierocks Did you compile with "-m64" in CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS? Had a similar issue before when compiling the most recent source without -m64. Seeing this particular error for the first time though.

from cudaminer.

run ./autogen.sh first. I can't update Makefile directly when I commit from
Windows, so you have to make your own. This is what the autotools to, and I
automated that with the autogen.sh script.

Duh, totally forgot to mention autogen. Will update my post accordingly. Thanks for the heads-up @cbuchner1

from cudaminer.

right so is it autogen before configure or after configure?
./configure
./autogen.sh
make
? thanks

from cudaminer.

./autogen.sh
./configure.sh
make

In this order. Instead of altering the configure file, you can edit configure.ac before running autogen.sh (lines 146 & 151, remove $SUFFIX).

EDIT: CUDA 5.5 Toolkit is now supported, hence I've updated my post again.

from cudaminer.

Right, so, after putting everything back, downloading gcc 4.6.4 through macports, updating the ENV settings, adding curl, autogen, automake, python27 also via macports, I now get the following error which I've not seen reported anywhere else

What else can I give to try and help diagnose this?

from cudaminer.

never mind!
I did the configure part again as
./configure "CFLAGS=-O3 -m64" "CXXFLAGS=-O3 -m64" --with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda

and it compiled fine. Now when I run ./cudaminer --benchmark I get

[2013-12-18 23:47:11] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?
oh well, that's not a discussion for here I think!

hope @tzbauknight managed to have success with compile in the end too!
Thanks everyone for your help!

from cudaminer.

Try:
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext

But only Compute 2.0+ cards work with the 5.5.28 drivers.

from cudaminer.

Nothing after i do that, it's the same. Must be doing something wrong, have just reinstalled the CUDA 5.5 package drivers again and it's the same, perhaps i should restart the machine and see if something happens.
I only have a 2010 mac book pro, its a GT 330M card....

from cudaminer.

GT 330M is Compute 1.2 - you will have to wait for a new NVIDIA driver release.

from cudaminer.

oh dear... cudaminer works fine on this device on windows 7, so it's simply a driver issue now grrr!!

THanks, will keep an eye on developments and see what happens next but at least I've learnt a lot and gotten back into my unix and programming in the meantime!

from cudaminer.

I had todo a couple of things on master HEAD to compile this.

wget wget https://raw.github.com/rallat/quarkcoin-cpuminer/4e6c263c837bd04261df1ba7383ea828409ff498/acinclude.m4

Get gcc-4.9 from homebrew as it has the omp.h lib in it.

./autogen.sh
./configure.sh

Then edit the Makefile and find replace gcc with gcc-4.9 and replace g++ with g++4.9, also uncomment JANSSON_INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/compat/jansson on line 366

then run make

from cudaminer.

I finally managed to compile it and the ran the with the --benchmark flag and it was 65 khash/s! but when I try to point it at a pool I get everybody's fav exception:

from cudaminer.

Hey guys, I`ve tried making on 10.9.2, it compiles ok, runs, but starts no threads. (basically just shows the message and thats it)

I get this a lot during compilation:

./legacy_kernel.cu(273): Warning: Cannot tell what pointer points to, assuming global memory space
it might be the reason the compiled binary doesn't work...

can anyone upload a latest binary somewhere ?

i need it too

from cudaminer.

i've been following @atomton 's guide to try and get cudaminer working for my 780 but it just won't compile. Every time i type make in terminal i get the same error as above about malloc.h not being found. I followed the guide down to the last letter. I'm running mavericks 10.9.1 and have the latest cuda drivers. Any help is appreciated.

from cudaminer.

@atomton Just a heads up, the scrypt-jane.cpp file in the newer version of CudaMiner needs #include <malloc.h> replaced with #include <malloc/malloc.h> on line 41 just like in the scrypt.ccp file. Might I also suggest using the #include <stdlib.h> header instead since that's what Apple says to do when porting linux applications to OS X. It works for me and it also seems to compile more quickly. https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/porting/conceptual/portingunix/compiling/compiling.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002850-TPXREF101

Here is what I compiled tonight: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B95yoHBle4GxQ3prdC0xaFM5MTg/edit?usp=sharing
You still need MacPorts and curl so just run command sudo port install curl and you should be able to run what I compiled.

I highly recommend you update for those of you who are running old versions. I'm now mining at 290 kh/s on my GTX 760, as compared to the 180 kh/s I was running before.

I didn't even know we had that option... probably a leftover from the
original cpuminer code which I never tested so far.

@cbuchner1 yea it works fine in cpuminer, it would be nice to implement since I cant background at all

Anyways had success on mac 10.8 and 10.9
GeForce GT 650M ~50khash/s
GeForce GT 740M ~70khash/s

I was having some of the same issues; this fork worked: k2b6s9j/CudaMiner

from cudaminer.

Hello, atomton: I took your post of November 22, 2013 "Compiling on OS X 10.9 CudaMiner" and after typing the make command, in the end, the terminal threw me this error:

scrypt-jane.cpp:41:20: fatal error: malloc.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [cudaminer-scrypt-jane.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

I followed all the steps carefully. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me.

from cudaminer.

You didn't follow all of the steps - there is a clear one that says malloc.h needs to go to malloc/malloc.h on Mac.

from cudaminer.

That has to happen in every file not just scrypt.cpp that has malloc.h #included

from cudaminer.

bluecollar: Thank you very much. No longer appeared the above error, but now it appears this:

Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?

After putting this command:

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/CUDA.kext

nothing appears message. Please, help.

from cudaminer.

Make sure your nvidia card is supported and if so make sure you have rebooted the machine completely once. Let me know if that helps

from cudaminer.

Hello, bluecollar. I checked on this page:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads

and my graphics card is supported, is a NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB, but even after resetting the machine still appears this error:

I appreciate your help.

from cudaminer.

I forgot to tell you that everything I did in the Downloads directory, would that be the cause of the error?

from cudaminer.

I can't run it on my 9400M 256 mid-2009 myself, unfortunately. What is the year/model of your mac?

from cudaminer.

Sadly, the 9400Ms are Compute 1, so they aren't supported. I found that out the hard way.

from cudaminer.

if you find a driver that supports CUDA 5.5, you can run the Legacy kernel
on this hardware.

You can also compile CudaMiner with CUDA 5.0 or even older CUDA toolkits,
possibly removing those kernels that won't build (the Titan kernels require
features introduced with CUDA 5.0)

Pity!, though mine is a iMac 21.5-inch, late 2009. I will seek other options. Thanks very much.

By the way, I just found this site, if interested can enter through this link:

https://cex.io/r/0/perissos/0/

I am undermining them by cpuminer and this is my Cloud mining Ghs Rate: 49.34 Mh/s.

cbuchner1:
Thank you so much, I'll see what I find.

from cudaminer.

Successfully compiled yesterday using atomton's guide. The first --benchmark run was successful, but after that I was getting "Segmentation fault 11". After I struggled to sort it out for an hour, I've rebooted my iMac, run cudaminer again, got kernel panic. After I rebooted again and run cudaminer, it was working fine with various settings, and working fine so far.

The guide by atomton was very helpful, the only part that was missing, pointer that malloc.h should've been fixed in 'scrypt-jane.cpp' and 'sha3.cpp' as well, not only 'scrypt.cpp'.

I hope that helps someone.
