Cgminer windows 10
You'll get a new dialog that shows what changes will be made (in this case, only new/upgraded packages) - in there, click Apply. Once the components have been marked for installation, go to the Installation menu and choose Apply Changes. Note: If you want to save a few steps later on, expand the tree on the left to All Packages > MinGW > MinGW Libraries, and also select mingw32-pthreads-32 of class dev (doesn't hurt to select 'doc' and 'lic' as well). To select the components for installation, click on the checkbox and choose Mark for Installation The first one will also automatically select the msys-base component.
You'll want to select the following components:
The instructions suggest to select basically everything - with poor Fortran singled out as not having been selected by the cgminer author. Here you can choose which components to include in your MinGW installation. That'll be a running theme in this post.Įventually you'll end up with a new screen labeled MinGW Installation Manager. Yes, this installer downloads additional files. Note that in my case, I changed the drive from C: to E: because reasons.

Once the download has completed, launch the downloaded MinGW installer.Ĭlick through the bunch of boring install screens - but keep an eye out in case it gets repackaged with 'value added' software. You'll end up at Sourceforge - probably will for the foreseeable time, despite sourceforge's recent snafus, as a lot of mingw depends on things hosted at sourceforge - with a countdown time before the download begins. Instead, scroll down the page to find " Graphical User Interface Installer" and the mingw-get-setup.exe link, and click that instead. Now the next instruction refers to a " Download and run the latest mingw-get-inst version." link. At this point, you may wish to do a quick read through the entire document and then come back here. Sounds promising, though what's mingw32?Ĭarry on reading and - aha - mingw32 is something I'll have to install. "Native WIN32 setup and build instructions (on mingw32/Windows)".
October 2012 is a bit too 3 years ago to dive into that thread, though, so carry on and follow the first result. Lucky me, the very top result points to a document at the official github repository, while the third result in my case braces me for things to come. So you want to build cgminer for Windows, and presumably on Windows.įirst thing you're likely to do is hit up google with exactly those search terms. It's also entirely possible that things could be done more efficiently ( in terms of compiling - starting this thread out step-by-clicking-step on purpose ) - if so, leave your replies

If you enjoy mild frustration, continue readingĪlthough the result works (well, so far), there's always a chance that it doesn't perform the same as the official builds due to differences in library versions, kludgy code edits to get things to compile, and so on. If you do need a custom Windows binary, consider cross-compiling in a Linux environment. If you don't need any code changes, just use the regular cgminer builds. please don't quote this entire post in any reply, or see your reply deleted - If you must quote, quote only relevant parts.This is a lengthy and picture-heavy rundown of compiling cgminer on Windows by somebody who hasn't done so in over a year and ran into various problems doing so from scratch - procedure for.
