###################################################################################### # # # Native WIN32 setup and build instructions (on mingw32/Windows): # # # ###################################################################################### ************************************************************************************** * Introduction * ************************************************************************************** The following instructions have been tested on both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Most of what is described below (copying files, downloading files, etc.) can be done directly in the MinGW MSYS shell; these instructions do not do so because package versions and links change over time. The best way is to use your browser, go to the links directly, and see for yourself which versions you want to install. If you think that this documentation was helpful and you wish to donate, you can do so at the following address. 12KaKtrK52iQjPdtsJq7fJ7smC32tXWbWr ************************************************************************************** * A tip that might help you along the way * ************************************************************************************** Enable "QuickEdit Mode" in your Command Prompt Window or MinGW Command Prompt Window (No need to go into the context menu to choose edit-mark/copy/paste): Right-click on the title bar and click Properties. Under the Options tab, check the box for "QuickEdit Mode". Alternately, if you want this change to be permanent on all of your Command Prompt Windows; you can click Defaults instead of Properties as described above. Now you can drag and select text you want to copy, right-click to copy the text to the clipboard and right-click once again to paste it at the desired location. You could for example, copy some text from this document to the clipboard and right click in your Command Prompt Window to paste what you copied. ************************************************************************************** * Install mingw32 * ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started Click the link that says "Download and run the latest mingw-get-inst version." Download and run the latest file. Install MinGW in the default directory. (I downloaded the one labeled "mingw-get-inst-20111118" - note that this could be a different version later.) Make sure to check the option for "Download latest repository catalogs". I just selected all the check boxes (excluding "Fortran Compiler") so that everything was installed. ************************************************************************************** * Create mstcpip.h * ************************************************************************************** Open notepad and copy the following into it. Save it as "\MinGW\include\mstcpip.h". Make sure it does not have the ".txt" extension (If it does then rename it). struct tcp_keepalive { u_long onoff; u_long keepalivetime; u_long keepaliveinterval; }; #ifndef USE_WS_PREFIX #define SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS _WSAIOW(IOC_VENDOR, 4) #else #define WS_SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS _WSAIOW(WS_IOC_VENDOR, 4) #endif ************************************************************************************** * Run the MSYS shell for the first time to create your user directory * ************************************************************************************** (Start Icon/keyboard key ==> All Programs ==> MinGW ==> MinGW Shell). This will create your user directory for you. ************************************************************************************** * Install libpdcurses * ************************************************************************************** Type the lines below to install libpdcurses. mingw-get install mingw32-libpdcurses mingw-get install mingw32-pdcurses Ctrl-D or typing "logout" and pressing the enter key should get you out of the window. ************************************************************************************** * Copy CGMiner source to your MSYS working directory * ************************************************************************************** Copy CGMiner source code directory into: \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(folder with your user name) ************************************************************************************** * Install AMD APP SDK, latest version (only if you want GPU mining) * ************************************************************************************** Note: You do not need to install the AMD APP SDK if you are only using Nvidia GPU's Go to this url for the latest AMD APP SDK: http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/Pages/default.aspx Go to this url for legacy AMD APP SDK's: http://developer.amd.com/sdks/AMDAPPSDK/downloads/pages/AMDAPPSDKDownloadArchive.aspx Download and install whichever version you like best. Copy the folders in \Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\include to \MinGW\include Copy \Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\lib\x86\libOpenCL.a to \MinGW\lib Note: If you are on a 32 bit version of windows "Program Files (x86)" will be "Program Files". Note2: If you update your APP SDK later you might want to recopy the above files ************************************************************************************** * Install AMD ADL SDK, latest version (only if you want GPU monitoring) * ************************************************************************************** Note: You do not need to install the AMD ADL SDK if you are only using Nvidia GPU's Go to this url ==> http://developer.amd.com/sdks/ADLSDK/Pages/default.aspx Download and unzip the file you downloaded. Pull adl_defines.h, adl_sdk.h, and adl_structures.h out of the include folder Put those files into the ADL_SDK folder in your source tree as shown below. \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(folder with your user name)\cgminer-x.x.x\ADL_SDK ************************************************************************************** * Install GTK-WIN, required for Pkg-config in the next step * ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/ Download the file. After you have downloaded the file Double click/run it and this will install GTK+ I chose all the selection boxes when I installed. Copy libglib-2.0-0.dll and intl.dll from \Program Files (x86)\gtk2-runtime\bin to \MinGW\bin Note: If you are on a 32 bit version of windows "Program Files (x86)" will be "Program Files". ************************************************************************************** * Install pkg-config * ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php Scroll down to where it shows pkg-cfg. Download the file from the tool link. Extract "pkg-config.exe" from bin and place in your \MinGW\bin directory. Download the file from the "Dev" link. Extract "pkg.m4" from share\aclocal and place in your \MingW\share\aclocal directory. ************************************************************************************** * Install libcurl * ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://curl.haxx.se/download.html#Win32 At the section where it says "Win32 - Generic", Click on the link that indicates Win32 2000.XP 7.24.0 libcurl SSL and download it. The one I downloaded may not be current for you. Choose the latest. Extract the files that are in the zip (bin, include, and lib) to their respective locations in MinGW (\MinGW\bin, \MinGW\include, and \MinGW\lib). Edit the file \MinGW\lib\pkgconfig\libcurl.pc and change "-lcurl" to "-lcurl -lcurldll". Ref. http://old.nabble.com/gcc-working-with-libcurl-td20506927.html ************************************************************************************** * Build cgminer.exe * ************************************************************************************** Run the MinGW MSYS shell (Start Icon/keyboard key ==> All Programs ==> MinGW ==> MinGW Shell). Change the working directory to your CGMiner project folder. Example: cd cgminer-2.1.2 [Enter Key] if you are unsure then type "ls -la" Another way is to type "cd cg" and then press the tab key; It will auto fill. Type the lines below one at a time. Look for problems after each one before going on to the next. adl.sh (optional - see below) autoreconf -fvi CFLAGS="-O2 -msse2" ./configure (additional config options, see below) make ************************************************************************************** * Copy files to a build directory/folder * ************************************************************************************** Make a directory and copy the following files into it. This will be your CGMiner Folder that you use for mining. Remember the .cl filenames could change on later releases. If you installed a different version of libcurl then some of those dll's may be different as well. cgminer.exe from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x *.cl from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x README from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x libcurl.dll from \MinGW\bin libeay32.dll from \MinGW\bin libidn-11.dll from \MinGW\bin libssl32.dll from \MinGW\bin libpdcurses.dll from \MinGW\bin pthreadGC2.dll from \MinGW\bin ************************************************************************************** * Optional - Install Git into MinGW/MSYS * ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/ Click on the Downloads tab. Download the latest "Portable" git archive. Extract the git*.exe files from the bin folder and put them into \MinGW\bin. Extract the share\git-core folder and place it into \MinGW\share. To test if it is working, open a MinGW shell and type the following: git config -–global core.autocrlf false (note: one time run only) git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git If you simply just want to update the source after you have already cloned, type: git pull git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git Now you can get the latest source directly from github. ************************************************************************************** * Optional - Make a .sh file to automate copying over ADL files * ************************************************************************************** Make a folder/directory in your home folder and name it ADL_SDK. (ref: \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(folder with your user name)\ADL_SDK) Copy the ADL .h files into that folder/directory. Open your favorite text editor and type the following into it. cp -av ../ADL_SDK/*.h ADL_SDK Save the file as "adl.sh" and then place the file into "\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin". From now on when your current working directory is the cgminer source directory You can simply type "adl.sh" and it will place the ADL header files into place For you. Make sure you never remove the ADL_SDK folder from your home folder. ************************************************************************************** * Some ./configure options * ************************************************************************************** --disable-opencl Override detection and disable building with opencl --disable-adl Override detection and disable building with adl --enable-bitforce Compile support for BitForce FPGAs(default disabled) --enable-icarus Compile support for Icarus Board(default disabled) ###################################################################################### # # # Native WIN32 setup and build instructions (on mingw32/Windows) complete # # # ######################################################################################
