32bit windows binary is ready but i think not many ppl may want it.
mingw64 is not easy to play with...…

Amazing job! But I have a problem with 64-bit version on Windows XP x64 and dual Xeon E5310. The error message is: "Entry point not found. The procedure entry point kernel32.IdnToAscii could not be located in the dynamic link library Normaliz.dll". 32-bit binaries run well. Any hints?

OK, I copied a random libcurl.m4 (https://gnunet.org/svn/libmicrohttpd/m4/libcurl.m4) to /usr/share/aclocal and started over.
I got a bunch of new warnings when running ./autogen.sh, but the ./configure it generated seems sane and make made me a minerd that at least works with the --help option...

I'm having trouble compiling under 64-bit Slackware Linux 13.37
In an empty directory I did:
git init
git pull https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer
When I run ./autogen.sh
I get the following warning and error:
/usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4:9: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_IMLIB
/usr/share/aclocal/imlib.m4:9: run info '(automake)Extending aclocal'

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
./configure then fails with:

./configure: line 5102: syntax error near unexpected token `,'
./configure: line 5102: `LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.10.1, ,'
I managed to get rid of the "underquoted" warning by adding [] quotes in a few .m4 file in /usr/share/aclocal, but I don't know what to do about the "undefined macro: AC_MSG_ERROR" error and I still get a broken ./configure
Any help would be appreciated.

Binaries for Windows, could someone make new builds 
as it seems they are outdated
as it seems they are outdated heh, this stuff is tough to keep up with.
But it's still amazing that the hashing power for the cpu chains isn't increasing much.
I have a minerd.exe as of Dec 19, 2011 for windows. Does that mean this one has been updated again?

Thanks again Pooler! This new version brings my old Pentium D 920's up to 2.22 kh/thread (50% improvement) and my newer xeon's all produce about 1/3 more per thread.

I'm trying to run the optimized miner on Windows 7 64 bit, and it just crashes immediately without any error messages.
Two questions:
1. Are you using the 12/19 or the 12/21 version?
2. Did you specify any parameters when invoking the exeutable?
1. I tried the 21th version.
2. It crashed without parameters. I tried adding "/?" or "--help", but that still crashed.
Should I specify parameters?

The latest release (12/24) of the miner brings a little speed increase (about 1%) for all architectures, and an additional boost for 64-bit Intel CPUs (you must be using a 64-bit OS).
SAC was able to produce a binary for Mac OS X 10.6/7 (link now available in the first post), but we still don't have a binary for Windows (diki is on an extended vacation). If anybody has some experience with mingw-w64 and wants to give this a try, please let me know.

I'm trying to run the optimized miner on Windows 7 64 bit, and it just crashes immediately without any error messages.
I see this in the system (application) event log:

So far I have been successfully using the miner-i7.exe release by ArtForz. Any idea why this crashes? I have Soluto installed, so that might be the reason why I'm not seeing any error message ... although I did try to exit it and that didn't help.

Not only with the stock gcc 4.2, I tried to compile with gcc 4.6 from MacPorts, the result is the same.
Maybe it is a problem of as, the GNU-based assembler of Mac OS X.
You are probably right. What version of binutils ('as' is part of binutils) is giving you problems?
On Mac OS X 10.6.8:
bash-3.2$ as -v
Apple Inc version cctools-795~45, GNU assembler version 1.38
I don't know if Apple ships the whole GNU binutils, but apparently they customize it for their need.
Hey, that does look old! Current version is 2.22. I had a rapid look at the NEWS file for gas, and it seems that it only supports macros starting from version 2.6.
