libbtctools is a library of BTCTools, it provides the basic ability of scanning, configuration and rebooting some miners.

It can build on Windows, Linux and macOS, as dynamic or static library.

There are 4 dependencies:

• Boost 1.59 or later (1.65 or later is validated and recommended)
• OpenSSL (both 1.0 or 1.1 are OK)
• Lua-5.1 or LuaJIT-2.0 (LuaJIT is recommended but incompatibly with macOS)
• Crypto++ (5.6.5 or later) And libpthread is required on Linux and macOS.

Example on Ubuntu 18.04 x64:

# build tools
apt-get install -y build-essential autotools-dev libtool autoconf automake pkg-config cmake gcc g++

# install boost via apt
apt install libboost-all-dev

# or build boost 1.65 if you want (optional)
wget https://dl.bintray.com/boostorg/release/1.65.1/source/boost_1_65_1.tar.gz
tar zxf boost_1_65_1.tar.gz
cd boost_1_65_1
./bootstrap.sh
./b2
./b2 install

# install other dependencies
apt update
apt install libssl-dev libluajit-5.1-dev libcrypto++-dev

# clone and build
git clone https://github.com/btccom/libbtctools.git
cd libbtctools
mkdir build
cd build

# build as static library
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/btctools -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=STATIC ..
make
make install

# or build as dynamic library
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/btctools -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=SHARED ..
make
make install

# running demos
cd /opt/btctools/bin/btctools
./ipGeneratorDemo
./scanMinerDemo
./configMinerDemo
./rebootMinerDemo

It seems like build on Linux. Search and install dependencies with brew first.

Tips: install lua-5.1 instead of luajit-2.0. The demo will segmentation fault with luajit-2.0 and I don't know the reason.

The command will be:

brew install boost openssl [email protected] cryptopp

# static library
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/btctools -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=STATIC -DBTCTOOLS__LUA_TYPE=NORMAL ..

# or dynamic library
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/btctools -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=SHARED -DBTCTOOLS__LUA_TYPE=NORMAL ..

# build & install
make
make install

Quick Steps:

git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
.\bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
.\vcpkg integrate install

Example output for .\vcpkg integrate install:

PS G:\work\vcpkg> .\vcpkg integrate install Applied user-wide integration for this vcpkg root.

All MSBuild C++ projects can now #include any installed libraries. Linking will be handled automatically. Installing new libraries will make them instantly available.

CMake projects should use: "-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=G:/work/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"

.\vcpkg install boost:x86-windows-static openssl:x86-windows-static cryptopp:x86-windows-static luajit:x86-windows-static

.\vcpkg install boost:x64-windows-static openssl:x64-windows-static cryptopp:x64-windows-static luajit:x64-windows-static

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -A win32 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=G:/work/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x86-windows-static -DBTCTOOLS__STATIC_LINKING_VC_LIB=ON -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=STATIC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%appdata%\lib32\btctools ..
start libbtctools.sln

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -A x64 -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=G:/work/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_TARGET_TRIPLET=x64-windows-static -DBTCTOOLS__STATIC_LINKING_VC_LIB=ON -DBTCTOOLS__LIB_TYPE=STATIC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=%appdata%\lib\btctools ..

Replace G:/work/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake to your vcpkg.cmake path.

Build the INSTALL project to install.
