I recently started to mine some cryptconcurrencys again and I wanted to try Monero (XMR). The CPU miner xmrig works perfectly however I am having problems install a GPU miner.

What I already did

I already installed the graphic drivers for my GTX 1070 (I am using 375.66)

itssme@muhbuntu:~$ nvidia-smi

I already installed cuda (apt-get install nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit)

The problem

ERROR: No supported gcc/g++ host compiler found, but clang-3.8 is available. Use 'nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8' to use that instead.

The problem seems to be that CUDA 8.0 doens't support gcc 6. So how can I use clang instead? (I already installed it via apt)

  • Did you run the command "nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8"? Also what command did you use to install clang?

  • I used apt install clang-3.8 and yes I did run nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8 but it had no effect

Using clang-3.8 still left me with linking errors. However, I managed to get ccminer to compile on Ubuntu 17 by doing the following:

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9
./configure.sh

Edit the following lines in the Makefile:

CXX = g++-4.9
NVCC = /usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc -ccbin gcc-4.9
ac_ct_CC = gcc-4.9
ac_ct_CXX = g++-4.9

Then finally:

make

Good luck!

Quick fix : open the makefile, search for nvcc (with nano it's CTRL+W, enter "nvcc") and replace it with "nvcc -ccbin clang-3.8", save the makefile and make again.

The best way to choose your compiler is by passing the appropriate variables to ./configure:

sudo apt-get install g++-4.9
CC=gcc-4.9 CPP=cpp-4.9 CXX=g++-4.9 ./configure

Currently, nvcc doesn't seem to like GCC versions newer than 5.

Editing Makefile and commenting lines:

#scrypt/salsa_kernel.o: scrypt/salsa_kernel.cu
#       $(NVCC) $(JANSSON_INCLUDES) -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include -O3 -lineno -Xcompiler -Wall  -D_FORCE_INLINES -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\" -o $@ -c $<

# These kernels are for older devices (SM)

#scrypt/test_kernel.o: scrypt/test_kernel.cu
#       $(NVCC) $(JANSSON_INCLUDES) -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include -O3 -lineno -Xcompiler -Wall  -D_FORCE_INLINES -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_20,compute_20\" -o $@ -c $<

#scrypt/fermi_kernel.o: scrypt/fermi_kernel.cu
#       $(NVCC) $(JANSSON_INCLUDES) -I. -I/usr/local/cuda/include -O3 -lineno -Xcompiler -Wall  -D_FORCE_INLINES -gencode=arch=compute_20,code=\"sm_21,compute_20\" -o $@ -c $<

Then run:

make

It worked for me.
