Is it possible to install BFGMiner on Debian Wheezy?

I have been looking for a solution but I can't find one.

There is no specific package for download that I can find for debian. They are for Ubuntu – user199022 – 2013-11-22T05:23:41.083

So, you build it from source. There's a nice README in the source package. There's even a README.Debian discussing how to make it into your own debian package. – Nate Eldredge – 2013-11-22T05:26:03.403

Really? Ill check it out – user199022 – 2013-11-22T05:28:09.460

Download the bfgminer source code, extract the source, change directory into it.

Then:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot

And it'll build a package you can install on Debian Wheezy. You will need to install "dpkg-dev" for dpkg-buildpackage and all the build dependencies, which you'll find out by running the dpkb-buildpackage command.

you have to patch it first before building the package;

patch -p1 < debian/patches/bfgminer-bitforce.diff

No, dpkg-buildpackages will install patches in debian/patches by itself. – smoe – 2018-04-17T17:37:06.903
