I have built the current sources of kawpowminer for GPU on one system, and it's working as expected. On another identical system, I built it without GPU support and with CPU support. I am running it there, and it reports 110-NN Kh, but never has anything accepted. I let it run for many hours, and I don't expect much, but I expect some.

I notice that when I run with --help, it shows:

--cpu Development ONLY ! (NO MINING)

Does that mean that while I can compile in CPU support, it doesn't actually submit any work? If so, is there a way to make it submit work when running in CPU mining mode?

Oh! Wait! I didn't wait enough hours. Now, hours later, I see:

 m 18:00:37 kawpowminer 3:17 A35 148.55 Kh - cp0 4.35, cp1 6.87, cp2 6.70, cp3 6.78, cp4 6.80, cp5 6.79, cp6 6.79, cp7 6.78, cp8 6.77, cp9 6.79, cp10 6.77, cp11 4.35, cp12 6.80, cp13 6.80, cp14 6.80, cp15 6.80, cp16 6.84, cp17 4.35, cp18 4.35, cp19 4.35, cp20 6.86, cp21 6.86, cp22 4.35, cp23 6.85

So, it looks like it does eventually submit. If someone can confirm I would appreciate that, but I suspect the above answers my question.

(I guess I should still ask to clarify or correct the output of --help.)

Did you got any trouble with the GPU? Because I got a AMD-card and OpenCL isnt detected from kawpow as well as the card itself.

I didn't have any trouble with GPU @geohot19, but I am using Nvidia CPUs with libcuda, so a different animal.

If you're using AMD on linux make sure to correctly install opencl and ROCm. you can just install a package come with driver+opencl+rocm from AMD.
