Compiling zcash mining client issue on Debian

Technology zcashd client

I have a compiling issue of the zcash mining client. All dependencies in from github beta install guide prepared. Stuck here at this point. Please help!

./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

Its too old. I use Jessie stable. To simplify your life simply use their binaries. Home · zcash/zcash Wiki · GitHub.

Thank you! Successfully upgraded entire system to Jessie, one step further. But stuck again with failing ‘libbitcoin_server_a-init.o’ :disappointed:

I have had success building various pool miners in stretch (aka testing). And you don’t even need to upgrade your entire system. You can run debootstrap to have a little stretch system running inside of your jessie (or wheezy or whatever) main system. Here are the instructions I followed on how to do this: How To Configure Chroot Environments for Testing on an Ubuntu 12.04 VPS | DigitalOcean

And then once you have built the binary once, you don’t even need to repeat the build process every time you setup a new chroot, you can just copy the binary (assuming the systems are running on the same architecture, like amd64).
