|
|
|
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo

Notes for AIX users:
|
|
|
|
|
* To build a 64-bit binary, export OBJECT_MODE=64
|
|
|
|
|
* GNU-style long options are not supported, but are accessible
|
|
|
|
|
via configuration file
|

Basic Windows build instructions, using MinGW:
|
|
|
|
|
Install MinGW and the MSYS Developer Tool Kit (http://www.mingw.org/)
|
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have mstcpip.h in MinGW\include
|
2012-03-03 22:41:47 +01:00
|
|
|
If using MinGW-w64, install pthreads-w64
|
2012-03-03 16:51:32 +01:00
|
|
|
Install libcurl devel (http://curl.haxx.se/download.html)
|
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have libcurl.m4 in MinGW\share\aclocal
|
|
|
|
|
* Make sure you have curl-config in MinGW\bin
|
|
|
|
|
In the MSYS shell, run:
|
|
|
|
|
./autogen.sh # only needed if building from git repo
|
|
|
|
|
LIBCURL="-lcurldll" ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
|
|
|
|
|

Architecture-specific notes:
|
|
|
|
|
ARM: No runtime CPU detection. The miner can take advantage
|
|
|
|
|
of some instructions specific to ARMv5E and later processors,
|
|
|
|
|
but the decision whether to use them is made at compile time,
|
|
|
|
|
based on compiler-defined macros.
|
|
|
|
|
To use NEON instructions, add "-mfpu=neon" to CFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
|
x86: The miner checks for SSE2 instructions support at runtime,
|
|
|
|
|
and uses them if they are available.
|
|
|
|
|
x86-64: The miner can take advantage of AVX and XOP instructions,
|
|
|
|
|
but only if both the CPU and the operating system support them.
|
|
|
|
|
* Linux supports AVX starting from kernel version 2.6.30.
|
|
|
|
|
* Mac OS X added AVX support in the 10.6.8 update.
|
|
|
|
|
* Windows supports AVX starting from Windows 7 SP1 and
|
|
|
|
|
Windows Server 2008 SP1.
|
|
|
|
|
The configure script outputs a warning if the assembler
|
|
|
|
|
cannot compile AVX or XOP instructions. In that case, the miner
|
|
|
|
|
can still be built, but unavailable optimizations are left off.

|
|
|
Connecting through a proxy: Use the --proxy option.
|
|
|
|
|
To use a SOCKS proxy, add a socks4:// or socks5:// prefix to the proxy string.
|
|
|
|
|
If no protocol is specified, the proxy is assumed to be a HTTP proxy.
|
|
|
|
|
When the --proxy option is not used, the program honors the http_proxy
|
|
|
|
|
environment variable. In this case, however, libcurl 7.21.7 or newer is
|
|
|
|
|
needed to handle protocol prefixes.
