Can you add *.il and *.ptx files to the sources tar?
They are not source code.

BTW You can extract them from bitcoin-miner.exe by any Windows Resource editor/extractor.

I think I've screw up with il and ptx file generations.  Can you add them to the source tar?
Do I need them?  I have empty il files :-(

The template for compilation of .il in the Makefile.am:
Code:
clisp gen-btc-gpu.lisp evergreen vector

Are you really using VS to compile win binaries or gcc and minGW?
Yes, VS is primary compiler. I'm using VS11 for my binaries, but the source code compatible with VS2010

#   include "libext/ext-os-api.h"

This file added now.

You can create empty missing .h  files. They are mostly for compatibility with POSIX environment.

To compile GPU modules select files in the GPU branch of the project and set "Excluded for Build" property to False.  Missing .h/.lib files can be found in SDKs.

It's sort of tricky.  It involves downloading and installing multiple python packages and sources that don't like to work properly half of the time you're installing them.  : /
It's probably best to wait for the binary to be recompiled.

No Python used in the Ufasoft miner.
By default only CPU and BitFORCE mining modules enabled in the VS2010 project file.
If you want to compile GPU mining, you should  download AMD APP SDK + AMD Display Library + CUDA SDK.

Thanks ufasoft.

ver 28, 64 bit works on Windows.

How do you compile Windows binaries?

Thanks

The 0.28 bug fixed now. SolidCoin mining code was added incorrectly in the previous version.

I see. I thought there was something in the new users FAQ about being able to post attachments after a certain post count or something?
Anyway, here are the requested files:

0.27 64-bit: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/7Y2j8fh0By/bitcoin-miner-64.exe.html
0.27 32-bit: http://www.fileswap.com/dl/sGvhzLnDKI/bitcoin-miner.exe.html

Thanks.

For some reason I get only 2.7-2.8Mh/s with 64 bit version.
32 bit version gets a steady 3.1 Mh/s.

It should have been the other way around, so I'm running 32 bit for now.
Win 7 is 64 bit, drivers are 64 bit, all my other software is 64 bit.
Don't worry about it, I get fewer hashes and more errors with the 64-bit version too.  It's sort of a work in progress I think.

Could someone post 0.27 for Win7 64 bit?

I have it, but can't seem to figure out how to post attachments.
Help anyone?

Can someone please provide the .27 version?
I'm running on Windows 64 bit.
Right click on your bitcoin-miner.exe file, open properties, click on the previous version tab, click the version from your most recent system restore point.
Im new to mining, I only started yesterday, so there is no way to check for a previous version as I didn't have any before .28
Oh...well, I suppose that's something then.  I'll see what I can dig up.

just compiled the new version (0.28) and it isnt working at all: it just says 0 kHash/s and is doing nothing
I'm using 0.28 windows version. Same "0 kHash/s and is doing nothing".
In task manager there is 0-1% CPU usage.

Reverting to 0.27

At most, you can change the program priority to low or idle (if you know how).  The easiest way is to press Alt+Ctrl+Esc and change the thread priority via the system menu.  Alternatively, if you really want idle, type "start /b /idle" before the program in cmd prompt without the quotation marks around it.  Hope this was of some help.

I can (and have) changed the thread priority in Task Manager, but at best, that only works for the current session.
If the miner is restarted, that priority setting is lost.
I'm using GUIminer, so I haven't tried the /b/idle switch. Does that force it completely to idle, or just slow it down?

It seems like all this must be documented somewhere, I just can't find it.

I did discover that dropping the extra flags in GUI miner from "-gpugrid=512 -gputhreads=480" to "-gpugrid=256 -gputhreads=256" has pretty much the effect I want, I just figured there was a 'right' way to do it.

I hope this hasn't been covered too much already, but I don't see any documentation and honestly have no desire to wade through 37 pages. Smiley
Anyway, I'm wondering if this miner has the ability to throttle. I'd like to be able to continue mining while I use my PC for regular desktop activities, but the lag it just too bad.

I advocate the Zeitgeist Movement & Venus Project.
Unable to mine on the latest p2pool with ufasoft .28. No error message given, just sits at 0 KHash/second. Reverting to .27 works fine.
