Topic: cgminer build help (Read 1617 times)
Yes. I can build an executable but I get the USB errors. I've put the libusb dll in the folder I run cgminer but that did help.
Have you tried setting up MinGW as a build environment within Windows?
Ok, so I just found this in the http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/README
Native WIN32 build instructions: see windows-build.txt but these instructions
are now hopelessly out of date.
Guess I need to setup a virtual linux system and follow these instructions...
It is actually easiest to build a windows binary using cross compilation tools
provided by "mxe" available at http://mxe.cc/ (use the 32 bit one!)
Once you have followed the instructions for building mxe:
export PATH=(path/to/mxe)/usr/bin/:$PATH
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -W -march=i686" ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32
make
Is that the right direction?

Sorry, I'm a newbie. Don't beat me down too bad...
I've downloaded ckolivas's cgminer 4.5.0 binaries and they run fine. I've also downloaded the source and tried to do my own build. I think I followed the instructions in windows-build.txt file correctly, but when I run that version of cgminer.exe instead of the downloaded binary, I get these errors...

Have double checked the instructions, but can't get it. Is there an easy answer?
Thanks,
