Compile xmr-stak for macOS

Dependencies

Assuming you already have Homebrew installed, the installation of dependencies is pretty straightforward and will generate the xmr-stak binary in the bin/ directory.

For NVIDIA GPUs

brew tap caskroom/drivers
brew cask install nvidia-cuda
brew install hwloc libmicrohttpd gcc openssl cmake
cmake . -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF
make install

All available CMake options

For AMD GPUs

OpenCL is bundled with Xcode, so no other depedency then the basic ones needed. Just enable OpenCL via the -DOpenCL_ENABLE=ON CMake option.

brew install hwloc libmicrohttpd gcc openssl cmake
cmake . -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=ON
make install

For CPU-only mining

brew install hwloc libmicrohttpd gcc openssl cmake
cmake . -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF
make install
