I've got one now that my wifes 7970 @1125 is within striking distance: 50% (13d)

I can't get oclvanitygen to compile in ubuntu 12.04 with 12.04 AMD drivers and AMDSDK 2.7.
I'm getting "oclvanitygen.c:37:19: fatal error: CL/cl.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated."

Can anyone help?

Now if we could just working instructions for OSX Lion.

I would but I have no idea what to set it to :/

I thought the SDK for OSX came with XCode?

You need to pass it command line arguments - the best way is with the command prompt. Windows 7 gives a shortcut when you right-click on the folder where you've unzipped vanitygen while holding down the shift button: "Open command window here".

When the window doesn't disappear, you get to see what arguments to use to make it search for something:

>vanitygen.exe
Vanitygen 0.17 (OpenSSL 1.0.0d 8 Feb 2011)
Usage: vanitygen.exe [-vqrikNT] [-t <threads>] [-f <filename>|-] [<pattern>...]
Generates a bitcoin receiving address matching <pattern>, and outputs the
address and associated private key.  The private key may be stored in a safe
location or imported into a bitcoin client to spend any balance received on
the address.
By default, <pattern> is interpreted as an exact prefix.

Options:
-v            Verbose output
-q            Quiet output
-r            Use regular expression match instead of prefix
              (Feasibility of expression is not checked)
-i            Case-insensitive prefix search
-k            Keep pattern and continue search after finding a match
-N            Generate namecoin address
-T            Generate bitcoin testnet address
-X <version>  Generate address with the given version
-t <threads>  Set number of worker threads (Default: number of CPUs)
-f <file>     File containing list of patterns, one per line
              (Use "-" as the file name for stdin)
-o <file>     Write pattern matches to <file>
-s <file>     Seed random number generator from <file>

You can't use the openssl packages from centos repositories. They do not build openssl with EC due to some perceived patent infringements. Download the original openssl sources and compile them yourself and you'll be well on your way.

I recommend mediafire as a host.

Hi ErebusBat,

Looks like it wouldn't build for ya on OS X Lion, sorry about that.  It would appear that on Lion, they got rid of GCC, and their new compiler might be having difficulty with inline functions.  I don't have a mac, and can't try any of this myself.  Your help getting to the bottom of this problem would be much appreciated.  Please try the following and let me know what happens:

- Pull the latest sources from git:
- cd vanitygen
- Edit the file pattern.h, change the line:
to
- make all     <- The Makefile.osx is deprecated now

Don't worry about all the warnings, the link errors and undefined symbols at the end of your last report were the real issue.

There is no need to save the state.  It is a random process started at a random staring point.  So if you restart it again at a random starting point then you have not "lost" anything.
