Arch Linux

Hey!
I ran into the same problem as you, hellgast. I guessed scrypt140202.cl was now called scrypt.cl. I changed its name back while building vertminer and it installed fine. But I can't launch vertminer now; every time I start it, it just quits instantanously without printing anything in the terminal. I can't figure out why. Maybe its not the name that has changed after all. Any ideas?

it won't compile without built-in jansson 2.5.
As a result, I comment out all sed/mv stuffs.

if using yaourt, you can also
"cp ADL/ADL_SDK_6.0.zip /tmp/yaourt-tmp-marko/aur-vertminer-gpu/"
or
wherever makepkg build your packages

Don't think that's easily possible. If I understand the included license agreement we'd at least be required to handle agreement to the AMD license during package installation. Haven't checked whether we'd be allowed to distribute the ADL_SDK in the first place anyway.

Is it really too much effort to do these in a shell:
tar xzf package.tar.gz
cd package
ln -s <path-to-ADL_SDK> ADL_SDK
makepkg

Just asking.

Note we are talking about AUR packages, not regular repositories.

There is another thing, is it possible to somehow include ADL_SDK? Programs like yaourt will fail on attempt to install, at this time.

Fixed. Thanks for the help!
BTW should I change the name to vertminer-git, because it downloads the current version anyway? Then I should also get the git-version-line to work:
pkgver() {
cd "$srcdir/$_gitname"
echo $(git rev-list --count HEAD).$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)
}

and remove the static version number 3.7.2.

Can someone figure out how it works?

Correct - I suppose this is from linebreaks in the browser.

ETNyx is right. the 2 unzip commands in prepare are spread over 2 lines when both should be on one line and the 2 sed commands are spread across 3 lines when both should be a single line as well.

Is there a way to append (small) files to these comments so that things like linebreaks won't break stuff in the future ?

At this point is PKGBUILD wrong, for some reasone you did breakline in some parts where doesnt belong. After manual fix its compilable and looks alright.

section prepare() { -> 2 times unzip
section build() { -> 2 times sed

Thanks! I added the changes you worked out, but haven't had the possibility to test it yet.
I also added your name to PKGBUILD

Meanwhile I've read through the wiki documentation on creating packages etc. and prepared a simple patch. I then had a look at cgminer-gpu-adl.

I think most of what happens in cgminer-gpu-adl is not needed for vertminer-gpu and thus I'll follow the advice from the arch wiki to make use of sed instead of a full blown patch when there are just one or two line to change.

However there are all the *.cl (OpenCL code) files included in the created package, some of which collidate with equal files from cgminer-gpu. Luckily only scrypt140202.cl is used by vertminer-gpu. Therefor this is the only one I include in the package.

Plese note as well that I moved "jansson" from 'conflicts' to 'depends'.

Find below the PKGBUILD that worked for me:

And let me know if you want to adopt this PKGBUILD, as you seem to be more knowledgeable than me.

@mgd I think you can put the patches into the build directory. But then you have to alter the PKGBUILD to use them. Have a look at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cgminer-gpu-adl/. He has patched jansson in the PKGBUILD.

I got it working by manually applying the following patches to some files inside src/vertminer-gpu and then run autogen.sh there:

The resulting vertminer-gpu executable is then linked against the locally installed jansson-2.5 package.

Unfortunately I'm very new to arch linux and am just starting to learn how to handle PKGBUILD files. In an RPM based system I would just create 3 patchfiles (as above) and apply them to the files retrieved from git right before the build and be done with it.

Anyone knowledgeable wanting to do that ?
Or someone provide a quick pointer ?

I'll eventually read my way through the package builder documentation...

Yea I noticed it too, but I'm just a cabinet maker and still don't understand how this is supposed to work. I'm sorry. It looks to me like jansson is included in the source of these cgminers, and I have no idea how to remove them || what to remove. If you find out, I'll include the fix in the PKGBUILD

This packages currently includes jansson-2.5 and thus directly conflicts with the jansson-2.5 package which in turn results in this not being installable in parallel with bfgminer and cgminer-gpu.

Would it (easily) be possible to remove jansson-2.5 from this package and make use of an already installed jansson-2.5 ?
