Topic: Windows 7 cgminer build for Icarus and BFL. 7.5 BTC bounty ! (Read 5973 times)
My 5 BTC have been paid to ckolivas for his cgminer 2.3.2 build.
I'm not really back. I come once a week to answer questions. I'll be back when my hardware is back online (PSU death).
Well, I'm not going to pay a bounty till I get a miner that works, so I think that takes care of it. 
If you did all the work already and the cgminer guy finally makes a binary for it maybe we can do a split bounty or something.

+1 i feel free to test the software before i pay the bounty.
after reading this thread My guess is that no body has cgminer and icarus running under windows ---
BFL only at this stage I guess. Con seems to be back now so I'm sure we'll see a new revision soon.

I'd suggest you update the bounty to say that they must run it on windows also and make sure it works
Still doesn't seem to be working:
The bounty is now for a total of 7.5 Bitcoins, I'm adding 2.5 BTC. I want the same thing. Unzip and go, no compiling. I don't care who's feelings get hurt, I just want a binary and it's gotta be cgminer.

Thanks
Do you have an Icarus running with that download ? What are the options i need to enter in the conf beside "scan-serial" : "COMX" ? First test did not work with Icarus. Can anyone confirm ?
append -S auto into the Target field in windows shortcut properties when you make a shortcut to the cgminer executable.
If that doesn't work try specifying both: -S COM5 -S COM3
Does not work. I know that Icarus is on port 4. I assume you mine with 7970s ?
Try this one

Looks like we have to sit and wait. I hope Con will make it available in the near future. Not that i'm in a rush, i have working mining software for all my hardware but i prefer an all in one solution.

That comment meant I certainly wasn't interested in making a binary ...The Icarus code was written by Xiangfu and I helped debug it.
It was based on the Bitforce code that Luke-jr wrote, but did require quite a few changes.
It still needs more work on it but the lack of commits getting into cgminer at the moment has made me work on my Notify app instead when I have time

Yes you need it from my fork
Also you will need another change if you have both ... that's not done yet since the BFL check can hang on an Icarus sometimes and since I don't have both I'm not 100% sure of the circumstances that cause it.
Luke-jr hacked a fix to be able to say the device name on the front for bitforce but it's not done very nicely.
At the moment, if you do have problems with a windows version, it might actually be best to have 2 instances each compiled with the different device:
1 for Bitforce and 1 for Icarus
And in each case only specify the devices that match
Edit: I've got the commits for the first part waiting to go into the main cgminer git but my commits have been waiting for 12 days now ...

You probably need Kanos fork. The pre built binaries work fine with the BFL devices though.
Yes, that's where the winner of the bounty comes into play.
Tried Ufasoft yet? No idea if it works but its worth the 5 mins it'll take to find out.
I think ufa is for BFL only.
