Is it possible to install BFGMiner on Debian Wheezy?
I have been looking for a solution but I can't find one.

There is no specific package for download that I can find for debian. They are for Ubuntu– user199022Nov 22, 2013 at 5:23

So, you build it from source. There's a nice README in the source package. There's even a README.Debian discussing how to make it into your own debian package.– Nate EldredgeNov 22, 2013 at 5:26

Download the bfgminer source code, extract the source, change directory into it.
Then:
$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot
And it'll build a package you can install on Debian Wheezy. You will need to install "dpkg-dev" for dpkg-buildpackage and all the build dependencies, which you'll find out by running the dpkb-buildpackage command.
you have to patch it first before building the package;
patch -p1 < debian/patches/bfgminer-bitforce.diff

No, dpkg-buildpackages will install patches in debian/patches by itself.– smoeApr 17, 2018 at 17:37
