Mac build does not work

[TomDev234]

Describe the bug
ethminer 0.18.0
Build: darwin/release/appleclang

Unrecognized platform Apple
Error: No usable mining devices found

To Reproduce
start it

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Operating System: macOS 12.1 Monterey
• Hardware: i9-9900K, Radeon™ RX 6900 XT
• Ethminer Version 0.18.0
• Ethminer options used: ./ethminer --opencl -P stratum1+ssl://[email protected]:5555

ethminer 0.18.0

wrong version.

try this tag instead
https://github.com/gyf304/ethminer-m1/releases/tag/v0.19.0-alpha.0-m1

[TomDev234]

There is no Intel code inside.

[danieleftodi]

There is no Intel code inside.

sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. But what I ment is that you checkout he's tag "v0.19.0-alpha.0-m1" from the fork he made.

and then compile it, yourself.

I did that, and compiled it on my old Mac Pro 3,1 ... and ran it with an AMD RX 570 gpu ...

Update:
After I double-checked, checkout his "master" branch:
https://github.com/gyf304/ethminer-m1/tree/master

as he's last commit adds a vital update to his code. Since he hard-coded the config-settings to only compile it for arm64-arch. With this last commit, the toolchain compiles it for Intel or arm64 (depending on what you're compiling one).

Now I get this error: ethminer 0.19.0+commit.5b9b7814 Build: darwin/release/gnu Error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid How can I fix that?

[danieleftodi]

Error: locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
How can I fix that?

I haven't seen that error before. So I don't know.

But could you try out this branch from my fork? It's what works for me, on my macOS 12 (Monterey)
https://github.com/danieleftodi/ethminer/tree/macOS_compile

I'm in the process of merging more and more Pull Requests into it, step by step. At the current state as I'm typing this, it contains the code from:

• https://github.com/gyf304/ethminer-m1
• upgrade boost to 1.77 and upgrade hunter to v0.23.320 #2396

Next on my list is to make this merge & work: #2222

That one does not build. It wants a CableToolchain

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (include):
include could not find requested file:

cmake/cable/bootstrap.cmake

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:5 (include):

CableToolchains

[danieleftodi]

That one does not build.

You are most likely getting that Error because you haven't cloned the repro with the required sub modules:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/danieleftodi/ethminer.git

Now I am getting this error, how can I fix that? I have the Radeon™ RX 6900 XT.

@danieleftodi Getting this error following BUILD.md "build from source" instructions (cmake ,,), any ideas? Shouldn't have to deal with CUDA as this is MacOS and NVIDIA was abandoned long ago.

Thanks! It built, but I'm now running into a segfault (SIGSEGV) when running:
