Help with build: ethminer for Win64 in Linux using mingw32

[efrasyad]

I've been trying building ethminer for win64 in Linux using mingw32-w64 with the following changes in toolchain file:

$ cat ../cmake/toolchain.cmake
SET(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Windows)

SET(CMAKE_C_COMPILER x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc)
SET(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++)
SET(CMAKE_RC_COMPILER x86_64-w64-mingw32-windres)

SET(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32)

set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED True)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS True)

but i always failed on cmake --build . step with the following error:

$ cmake --build .

Does anyone has experience building ethminer using mingw32 or can point out what did I do wrong?

Thanks.

Hi...
NVidia does not support MinGW.

From NVidia CUDA Forum:
CUDA with MinGW How to get CUDA running under MinGW?

You need Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and CUDA Toolkit 9.1 to compile ethminer.

If you do not want to leave the MinGW environment first you have to install the above and then you can run the following script.

build-ethminer.sh

#Start
clear
echo "Start"
#goto Home
cd ~/
#Remove Project Directory
rm -rf ethminer
#Download ethminer
git clone /~https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer.git
#Enter Project Directory
cd ethminer/
#Make Build Directory
mkdir build
#Enter Build Directory
cd build/
#CMAKE
echo "Build"
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -T v140,host=x64 -DETHASHCUDA=ON -DETHASHCL=ON -DETHSTRATUM=ON -DAPICORE=ON 
#Build
echo "Release"
cmake --build . --config Release
echo "End Build-Release"
#Copy EXE to Home Directory
cp ./ethminer/Release/*.exe ~/
#Enter Home Directory
cd ~/
#End

Thanks for the advice, but I'm running the build from linux machine using default OpenCL settings.
Looking at your script which requires VS2015 which is true if building in windows system.

[chfast]

I'm not sure if this is possible, but check out this toolchain file for this case from Polly: /~https://github.com/ruslo/polly/blob/master/linux-mingw-w64.cmake.

[efrasyad]

I have test with Polly as well, but i still have the same error. Tested in ubuntu and debian.
I'll just get the build from AppVeyor as it will always includes the latest commit.

Thanks for all the help. And Thank you for making ethminer better on every release!

Try this script ETHminerBuildScriptDmW

• Windows version (ETHminerBuildScriptDmW.bat)
• Linux version (ETHminerBuildScriptDmW.bash)
• MinGW version (ETHminerBuildScriptDmW.sh)

Hi @DeadManWalkingTO ,
this is what i got after running mingw script in Ubuntu system:

@efrasyad after cable add MinGW have issues with compile.
I try to fix it.
Check #817. Please reply there.
Thank you.
