How to compile xmrig on Fedora?

07/11/2023 @ Saigon Mining Rig

This is a repost from https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build/fedora which then I can save my time searching in future.

I. Basic build

Basic build is good for local machine, because it is easy, but if you need to run the miner on other machines please take a look at advanced build.

$ sudo dnf install -y git make cmake gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++-static libuv-static hwloc-devel openssl-devel
$ git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
$ mkdir xmrig/build && cd xmrig/build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j$(nproc)

II. Advanced build

We use build_deps.sh script to build recent versions of libuv, openssl and hwloc as static libraries.

$ sudo dnf install -y git make cmake gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++-static automake libtool autoconf perl
$ git clone https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig.git
$ mkdir xmrig/build
$ cd xmrig/scripts && ./build_deps.sh && cd ../build
$ cmake .. -DXMRIG_DEPS=scripts/deps
$ make -j$(nproc)

Use command ldd xmrig to verify binary dependencies.
