Unable to compile on Windows 10 with current guide. #123

Open middll opened 6 years ago

middll commented 6 years ago

Followed the guide here. After validating the dependency folder (everything looked exactly the same on my end) I got errors after I input the following command:

cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -T v140,host=x64 ..

CMakeError log should be attached.

CMakeError.txt

This is on a fresh install of Windows 10 that has been updated to the most recent version.

You need to use the dev branch, the master is currently not updated to support windows compile via CMake.

How about if someone would compile them for us and put the result in releases?

Did not feel like doing new issue, but just letting you know that I can't use this since I have no CUDA pc for compiling, only for mining. I don't get why you would do good sources but let the distribution get big hit by not actually providing compiled releases.

psychocrypt commented 6 years ago

The reason is that we need to compile it for each distribution and each version of it. This is a lot of work. Never the less we will maybe do it with the next release.

btw: you need cuda also to run the miner with a precompiled binary. If you have no driver with cuda support than you can't miner. You can also compile and install CUDA without root rights.

Sry I missed that you mean windows binaries. Windows binaries are available https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-nvidia/releases for each release.

I'm actually looking for Ubuntu 16.04.03 release, but I don't want to hijack this issue. I'll make my own if I need to, we will see.

Btw. sorry if I seemed angry earlier, I've had quite a day. I would also say that it's better to use development time for things other than compiling since it's usually so easy with linux distros.
