I should have catched this little detail earlier but you actually gave
the wrong syntax, as it was. Maybe it wasn't very clear but at the time,
README-OPENCL stated ``...For this to happen, the "-dev" option
(--device) is mandatory´´. Just adding a -dev=0 or -dev=gpu should make
your command line work with that commit.
Of course it did not fail in a good way: It should have worked in some
sense (with a warning), or just bailed out. I have now committed a fix
so this situation gets an implicit "--device=all". In many cases that is
not what you really want (eg. it includes CPU devices) so you should
probably learn to always use --dev=gpu when using --fork anyway.
Using -fork=4 on a quadcore+HT and GTX980 I got over 82 Mc/s.
