Compiling xmrig-amd on Armv8, during make SSE2NEON.h throws erros

[wll1rah]

I've been trying to compile xmrig-amd on a Rock Pi 4 as a test bed for being able to get OpenCL GPU mining to other platform. Some of the chips that now support Open CL are the allwinner H6, RK3399/Pro, AML-S912, S922/X, A311D. I've so far been able to get sgminer running and mining with opencl.

The issue that I am having with xmrig-amd starts after 87%, The error is related to the SSE2NEON.h file and calls to stdinth. The images below give more detail on what is happening during the compilation and build process

ARM not supported.
Thank you.

That's funny, you have build target option for arm in the CMakeLists.txt

[xmrig]

You can try add ARM support, by using this PR as example xmrig/xmrig-nvidia#268

Unfortunately there are several more hurdles to get over once this is done.

The change in algorithm meant that a couple of flags to determine direction had been added to most functions with the corresponding if/else clauses.

I started to work through them but without a test regime, a stable pool and a decent hotel wifi connection I gave up for another day.
