XMR-Stak-SPARC is a universal Stratum pool miner and a fork of XMR-Stak-CPU. There is also an AMD GPU version and an NVIDIA GPU version

To configure the reports shown above you need to edit the httpd_port variable. Then enable wifi on your phone and navigate to [miner ip address]:[httpd_port] in your phone browser. If you want to use the data in scripts, you can get the JSON version of the data at url [miner ip address]:[httpd_port]/api.json

This procedure has been tested on Solaris 11.3 only, YMMV.

This was required because Solaris ships gcc-4.8 built with Solaris native as - which understands the aes_eround01 etc... instructions but ships gcc-5.4 with gnu as from 2013 (2.23) which does not. If you compile something with inline assembly that has the aes_eround01 instructions in different instructions are emmitted and an illegal instruction is thrown.

The flags that gcc is built with are pulled from the output of /usr/gcc/4.8/bin/gcc -v.

1. Make sure the packages are found:

   pkg install gcc gmp mpc mpfr cmake
   

2. Download gcc-5.5.0
3. Build gcc-5.5.0

   tar xvf gcc-5.5.0
   mkdir build
   cd build
   ../gcc-5.5.0/configure --prefix=/usr/gcc/5.5 --mandir=/usr/gcc/5.5/share/man --bindir=/usr/gcc/5.5/bin --libdir=/usr/gcc/5.5/lib --sbindir=/usr/gcc/5.5/sbin --infodir=/usr/gcc/5.5/share/info --libexecdir=/usr/gcc/5.5/lib --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --with-gmp-include=/usr/include/gmp --with-mpfr-include=/usr/include/mpfr --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld --without-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/bin/as CFLAGS='-g -O2  -mtune=ultrasparc -mcpu=ultrasparc -mno-unaligned-doubles' CXXFLAGS='-g -O2 -mtune=ultrasparc -mcpu=ultrasparc -mno-unaligned-doubles'
   gmake -j 16
   gmake install
   

4. Build and install google test

   git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git
   mkdir build
   cd build
   CXXFLAGS='-m64' CFLAGS='-m64' CXX=/usr/gcc/5.5/bin/g++ cmake ../googletest
   gmake -j 16
   gmake install
   

5. Build and install

   git clone https://github.com/oforpertainingtothesun/xmr-stak-sparc
   mkdir build
   cd build
   CXXFLAGS='-m64' CFLAGS='-m64' CXX=/usr/gcc/5.5/bin/g++ cmake ../xmr-stak-sparc \
       -DHWLOC_ENABLE=OFF \
       -DMICROHTTPD_ENABLE=OFF \
       -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/xmr-stak-sparc
   gmake -j 16 install
   

It looks like Oracle have upgraded binutils sufficiently for their gcc 5.4 version to correctly work with hardware AES. This has been tested, but not quite fully, on Solaris 11.4 (beta).

1. Make sure that gcc-5.4 is available:

   pkg change-facet 'facet.version-lock.*=false'
   

2. Install g++ and dependencies

   pkg install gcc@5.4 cmake
   

3. Go to step 4 of Solaris 11.3 guide.

• CMake 3: This dependency has been removed but this means that config.txt will be overwritten by the built file under install if it is not used.
• RPath handling: This has to be done at build-time at the moment but a better way is being figured out.

If you have SPARC hardware available you are probably rich, so please donate to my address!

The build system is CMake, if you are not familiar with CMake you can learn more here.

There are two easy ways to set variables for cmake to configure xmr-stak-cpu

• use the ncurses GUI
  • ccmake .
  • edit your options
  • end the GUI by pressing the key c(create) and than g(generate)
• set Options on the command line
  • enable a option: cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=ON
  • disable a option cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=OFF
  • set a value cmake . -DNAME_OF_THE_OPTION=value

After the configuration you need to call make install for slow sequential build or make -j install for faster parallel build and install.

• CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX install miner to the home folder
  • cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/xmr-stak-cpu
  • you can find the binary and the config.txt file after make install in $HOME/xmr-stak-cpu/bin
• CMAKE_LINK_STATIC link libgcc and libstdc++ libraries static (default OFF)
  • disable with cmake . -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON -CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE set the build type
  • valid options: Release or Debug
  • you should always keep Release for your productive miners
• MICROHTTPD_ENABLE allow to disable/enable the dependency microhttpd
  • by default enabled
  • there is no http interface available if option is disabled: cmake . -DMICROHTTPD_ENABLE=OFF
• OpenSSL_ENABLE allow to disable/enable the dependency OpenSSL
  • by default enabled
  • it is not possible to connect to a https secured pool if option is disabled: cmake . -DOpenSSL_ENABLE=OFF
• HWLOC_ENABLE allow to disable/enable the dependency hwloc
  • by default enabled
  • the config suggestion is not optimal if option is disabled: cmake . -DHWLOC_ENABLE=OFF
