I've tried compiling it on windows. I downloaded all the libraries and tried using cmake but can't get very far. I am unfamilar with cmake and a few other things. I doubt I would have much trouble compiling this in linux. It's a little beyond me and that's why I was hoping someone else got it to work.

I understand, if You have any output from compilation please paste me here because the aim of this mod is to provide easy to compile version of software.
I'm thinking also on providing binary version (for windows too) and to remove OpenCL support, because there are plenty of OpenCL miners but no good (except rpcminer) CUDA miners that are giving large benefits for nvidia users.

Hi Ang3lus,

I like your miner, and i like that you have not forgotten the CUDA owners like everyone else have. So i will help you make it work on windows, i will use my winxp virtualbox today and work on it. If it work i'll boot my win7 and test it to confirm it work. After, you'll be able to provide an already compiled version to the windows users. I'll say you all i've done to make it work, so you'll be able to make it on the real file.

Regards, Mike

Dear Ang3lus,

I tried to compile it without success on Kubuntu Linux 2.6.32-34-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP i686 GNU/Linux. I have Cuda installed and all deps you mentionned too. I first try it using the 285Nvidia driver, and after i installed dev270Driver, hoping that this will make the difference, but no. I'm not sure if the error is not on my side, i usually have no problems compiling software, but i can't compile any miner, nor the Nvidia Gpu computing SDK. The problem always reside in the cpp file, other file have no problem but the make always stop on a cpp file. Maybe it's my g++ version that doesn't do the job??? I installed the 3 version(4.1,4.3,4.4), just to be sure, but this changed nothing. What is the right one to make the miner, i will erase the other, maybe this will work. So this where i am, what do you have to propose???

Edit: I've corrected the problem. It was that the value of unsigned short int and unsigned int wasn't defined. I added them and after it compiled without other problems. If someone got an error in serialize.h saying that USHRT_MAX and UINT_MAX is not defined in the scope, simply add these 2 line to serialize.h that is in the src dir, after the line 25:

Code:

#define USHRT_MAX 65535
#define UINT_MAX 4294967295

If You have CUDA or OpenCL gpu then this is for You.

https://github.com/Ang3lus/rpcminer-mod

What do i give ?
Modified version of puddinpop's miner that is ready for easy compilation (for maximum performance) and installation. There are some little performance tweaks (GT420M is giving ~11 Mhash/s on Gentoo Linux, original miner is giving me ~13 Mhash/s on Windows so whe can get more out of Linux Box

). Software is prepared to compile only CUDA or OpenCL miner without all other things.

OpenCL problem!
For some reason i get 200 Khash/s while using OpenCL. There is some bug or something. You can compile it and test it for Your own. Give some feedback how it works for You

Long live CUDA. Why ?
0% CPU on CUDA while 100% in summary on every OpenCL miner (or 25% per core on quad core). So more power is needed while using OpenCL. This is design of OpenCL problem not miner problem. So i run aggression=3 and i have fully usable system

Why do i need ?
Feedback, lots of it, download it, compile it and test it, give some info how it works for You (or not), especially Windows users because i didn't test it on Windows

Remember to read HOW-TO file

If You like it You know whre the BTC address is
