I had some Solaris boxes laying around and I thought I could use them in my mining journey.
After some researches, I found that CPU mining is not profitable anymore, but on Bitcointalk someone hinted me that I could try mining Verium Reserve (VRM), so I went deep into that.
Sadly, Solaris is not well supported by mining software, the only one I have managed to make work is this one:
https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer/
which supports scrypt and sha256.
It is needed to install this packages:
pkg install --accept git curl jansson gcc automake autoconf
and then clone the git tree:
git clone https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer
we have to copy the jansson libs into the cpuminer directory:
cp /usr/include/jansson/jansson* cpuminer/
after that, we can configure it and make :)
./autogen.sh;
./configure CFLAGS="-O3";
make
now we can happly mine with our Sparc box with:
./minerd -a scrypt:1048576 -o stratum+tcp://yourhost -u xxx -p yyy
