This is a multi-threaded CPU miner for Litecoin, fork of Jeff Garzik's
reference cpuminer.
License: GPLv2. See COPYING for details.
Dependencies:
libcurl http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/
jansson http://www.digip.org/jansson/
(jansson is included in-tree)
Basic *nix build instructions:
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
make
Basic WIN32 build instructions (on Fedora 13; requires mingw32):
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
rm -f mingw32-config.cache
MINGW32_CFLAGS="-O3" mingw32-configure
make
./mknsis.sh
Usage instructions: Run "minerd --help" to see options.
Connecting through a proxy: Use the --proxy option.
To use a SOCKS proxy, add a socks4:// or socks5:// prefix to the proxy string.
If no protocol is specified, the proxy is assumed to be a HTTP proxy.
When the --proxy option is not used, the program honors the http_proxy
environment variable. In this case, however, libcurl 7.21.7 or newer is
needed to handle protocol prefixes.
Also many issues and FAQs are covered in the forum thread
dedicated to this program,
