bfgminer current version below 5.x
opened this issue · comments
In the GUI the BFGminer is listed as 5.x however when running version, the below is displayed
bfgminer 4.8.0-34-g9c71295
even running the upgrade script only keeps it at v4 Any scripts or commands to move this to 5? Will it be supported next version?
You have an old version, just update it read here: https://github.com/michelem09/minera/wiki/Local-miners
cd /var/www/minera
./build_miner.sh bfgminer
I used 6.1 img and this is the version that came with it
Also, I performed the script before I posted and the version stayed the exact same
That sounds weird, are you sure you haven't another bfgminer installed in the system? Can you give me the output of this command?
cd /var/www/minera
./minera-bin/bfgminer -V
Checking now, I applied the 6.1 img and applied no special binaries
Interesting...the command shows this however.....
/var/www/minera $ ./minera-bin/bfgminer -V
bfgminer 5.1.0-36-g8b5d36b

If I go to /var/www/minera/minera-bin and run bfgminer -V it shows
bfgminer 4.8.0-34-g9c71295
If you run bfgminer without the ./ in front of it you get the system one that should be in /usr/bin/bfgminer.
But Minera doesn't use that, it uses bfgminer in /var/www/minera/minera-bin and as I thought that's updated.
bfgminer does not exist in my /usr/bin directory
if I navigate to /var/www/minera/minera-bin and run just "bfgminer -V" it shows the older one same if I go to the src folder and review the binary, still old in there too
nvm disregard I see it now :)
I don't know how to tell you this. If you run bfgminer alone it gets the default one on the default $PATH but Minera doens't use that.
If you navigate into /var/www/minera/minera-bin you HAVE TO run it as ./bfgminer (check there is ./ that's completely different to run it without) otherwise the system gets that one in the default $PATH.
Wanna see where is it? Run whereis bfgminerand you'll see the path of that one.
