ADL breaks cross-compiling for Windows on Linux about sgminer HOT 11 CLOSED

I'd like not to break ADL detection for everybody else.

cgminer had a change to windows-build.txt a month ago. Might be relevant.

Also, Drogean's been able to compile it, and submitted some changes to sgminer's docs: https://github.com/veox/sgminer/pull/13

Can you just disable the check for headers only if cross-compiling?

from sgminer.

Does specifying --disable-adl to configure help? Or do you want the
headers to be there, but no checks to be performed?

I can go ahead and just add --disable-adl-checks or some similar hack,
but that's what the checks are for, perhaps it is better that you post
the error log?

BTW, careful with what you distribute. The AMD ADL EULA allows
including object and header files only in object-code form.

The issue is, I want to cross compile it with ADL support. It wouldn't make sense to disable ADL. Try cross-compiling, and configure will tell you that it can't check for the headers when cross compiling and abort. And I'm building binaries, so I don't have to worry.

@wolf9466 Please do post the error messages on how it fails before trying the https://github.com/veox/sgminer/tree/windows-cross-compile branch. There's some old stuff in configure.ac that needs fixing, and I don't want to play around with setting up cross-compiling just yet.

from sgminer.

You don't need to play around with setting up anything. Here's the error:

checking for ./ADL_SDK/adl_sdk.h... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling

from sgminer.

Did specifying --disable-adl-checks when running configure using branch windows-cross-compile above solve the issue?

from sgminer.

Nope.

Reordered the checks, try again.

from sgminer.

Works now.
