<p>Here's the tutorial I was using, just to get a bit of bearing on the issue.</p>

<p>It instructed me to use the following repository for the midstate module/library.</p>

<p><a href="http://gitorious.org/midstate/midstate" rel="nofollow">http://gitorious.org/midstate/midstate</a></p>

<p>After setting everything up, and downloading everything, all seemed to work fairly well. The only issue was the midstate module - I just couldn't get it compiled.</p>

<p>Here's the Makefile:</p>

<pre><code>CC = gcc
CFLAGS = -march=native -Wall -funroll-all-loops -O3 -fstrict-aliasing -Wall -std=c99 -I/usr/local/include/python3.3m
LDFLAGS = -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -lpython3.3m

all: test midstate.so

test: midstatemodule.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS)  midstatemodule.c -o test $(LDFLAGS)

midstate.so: midstatemodule.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -shared midstatemodule.c -o midstate.so $(LDFLAGS)

.PHONY: clean

clean:
    rm -f midstate.so test
</code></pre>

<p>And here's the compilation error:</p>

This is a question, not an answer. And I still haven't gotten a solution to this. Did you even read the whole thing?

# Problem setting up midstate module for eloipool

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-09-18)

Here's the tutorial I was using, just to get a bit of bearing on the issue.

It instructed me to use the following repository for the midstate module/library.

Here's the Makefile:
