Xolominer in Sparc64 Solaris 11.1

Well I did get it to compile on 32-bit, but with horrible address alignment issues once it started doing the memcpy for the hello message.

Anyway now I’m running with -m64 and coming up with the following:

Now I’m an SA, not a C++ programmer, and this is a little outside of my skillset. Any ideas on what could cause this?
I’ve had a lot of luck so far in fixing any ambiguous type errors, but this is gibberish to me.

any good news?

Nothing yet. I did manage to get past that line but had issues somewhere else. I think my chainsaw approach isn’t working. :smiley:

I’m going to try on Debian though and see if it fares any better.

some info https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255782.msg5122221#msg5122221

I agree, and this seems to be prevalent across all crypto mining.

From what I know of it, it’s not an insurmountable problem, however the rewards aren’t likely to be good. I’d hoped a SPARC64 VI or better machine would fare pretty well but I would be unable to test for some time. At this point I’m just reading C++ books and trying to bump up my skillset before tackling the issue. A friend of mine suggests that I contract to a programmer in a 3rd world country. lol

cpuminer did compile and run and I posted my results in bitcointalk.

This is what I’m working on as well. Not the simplest task in my life :slight_smile:
