[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] cgminer 4.7.0 package build problem

[Shawn L. Djernes]

Hello,

I am not sure how to write this up as a bug as what was done in
debian/rules makes sense except that it will never work unless you are on
the right hardware with needed extra software.

In debian/rules an if condition was added to build extra drivers if the
build was happening on "linux".  However the drivers that were added mostly
only work on custom embedded hardware.

The drivers that made the package not work at all were sp10 and sp30 for
the Spoondolia miners that use something called minergate to control the
chip.  If these are compiled cgminer will not start.

I downloaded the source packages (how I built it on Jessie) and made
changes and it works without them but there are other things that are
causing

AS Per the readme for cgminer

Q: What should I build in for a generic distribution binary?
A: There are a number of drivers that expect to be used on dedicated standalone
hardware. That said, the drivers that are designed to work generically with
USB on any hardware are the following:

--enable-avalon
--enable-avalon2
--enable-bflsc
--enable-bitfury
--enable-blockerupter
--enable-cointerra
--enable-drillbit
--enable-hashfast
--enable-hashratio
--enable-icarus
--enable-klondike
