Hi,
I have the Problem that I can't use the ./autogen.sh
When I do this there is a Problem with Clone from github.
File could not be found

Can anyone help?

I was trying to compile it myself too. I received a url in the errors it threw. https://github.blog/2021-09-01-improving-git-protocol-security-github/
I've been out of the loop for a bit. I'll poke around a bit more. I'm thinking the urls just need to be updated to HTTPS since I see its still trying to clone stuff into the dir using unauthenticated protocols.

I have the same issue. A couple of months ago it worked just fine.

I found a fix!

After "git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer.git" type in "cd bfgminer".
Then type in "sudo nano .gitmodules". In this file you have to replace every "git://" with "https://".
Exit and save the file.

Then execute the "sudo ./autogen.sh" command and it should work :)

you need to change the git:// to https:// in the ~bfgminer/.git/configure file as well
