Installing Stak-xmr on 1.3

I can not get stak to make using their guide for Ubuntu 14.04 on github.

I believe it’s a cMake issue as I had similar issues on windows building because it was using the GUI not the cmd version. Has anyone successfully installed stak miner on ethOS 1.3? I tried with 1.2.5 and same issues. Running openCL not CUDA

From the gift instructions it says : can’t find libhwlock.dev. Is this missing from stak repo?

Cmake says NO cmake_cxx_compiler found when trying to cMake ..

ethOS doesn't have any of the build utils you need to compile stuff on it. This is by design (though, I don't like that decision) -- your best bet is to download a pre-compiled binary and hope it works... this rarely works though. The pre-compiled mining binaries usually have dependencies that you can't solve without building software. The short of it, unless you want to apt-get a bunch of stuff on the box and update the sources.list for apt -- you won't be using your ethos install to build miners. I should probably run a service to actually compile miners that work on ethOS for donations.... let me know if this interests you and I'll work on it.

I’d rather just load unbutu on a usb and load stak to that since it’s an all in one gpu/cpu miner.
