Mac users, ICYMI, I’ve also updated my fork to track v1.0.3:

I think autoupdate option will be great to be added in the future, also with the option to enable or disable.

So in the meantime
What is the correct way to upgrade under linux
installed from github

1)update local repository
2)make uninstall?
3)rebuild?

Here’s how to upgrade for the Mac build.

cd zcash
git checkout v1.0.3-mac-gcc
./zcutil/build-mac.sh

For linux: (need someone to verify)
cd zcash
git checkout v1.0.3
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

To see the different versions available for the checkout command
run
git fetch -v

I got an error on Ubuntu 16.04. Weird since I had no problem upgrading to v1.0.2

mv -f script/.deps/libzcashconsensus_la-interpreter.Tpo script/.deps/libzcashconsensus_la-interpreter.Plo
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/****/zcash/src'
Makefile:7457: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed

Try this:
git clean -f -x -d .
./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

In my main nheqminer folder, I ran git clean -f -x -d . but when I go to run the second line of code, ./zcutild/build.sh -j$(nproc) it says that there is no such file or directory. Which directory should I be in when I run the second line of code?

Scratch that - had to be in my zcash folder.

Cheers

it didn’t work… This is giving me a head ache man

14

@guizmo what other errors appear before what you posted when you run ./zcutil/build.sh?

15

Solved. I’m actually a bit embarrased… It was a permissions issue. Just needed sudo. That’s it.

Thank you @ebfull and @fibonacci for your time.
