Error building sgminer 5_0 using VC 2012

[Bllacky]

I have been building sgminer for a long time using VC 2012.

With Sgminer 5.0 I get the following error: http://i57.tinypic.com/2nbg5y8.jpg

I also now need to add the following dlls to the sgminer folder: libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll

[mrbrdo]

Have you built v5_0 before? I had exactly the same error when I tried to build it, and I never solved it. Someone else seems to have been able to build it, since there are builds in the wild. But I have no idea why that happens :-/

[mrbrdo]

What do you mean merged? I only merged it into v5_0, it wasn't merged into master yet.

[Bllacky]

Sorry. I accidentally deleted the previous post. I mean merged into 5_0 , not into master.

I am currently building with mingw32, but VS is better.

It may be related to the fact that I am building in 64-bit using VS. Maybe those building in 32-bit don't have this problem.

After I manage to successfully build in 64-bit I will update the Readme.txt with instructions. So far it looks like a problem in the source code. Unfortunately I don't have time to look into it right now. I am positive one of those VS warnings is related to this problem.

I compiled it in 32-bit, but it took some tweaking to get it done. And VS keep griping about duplicate OBJ files and would quit:

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/pull/226

[Bllacky]

I didn't have to do any tweaking. Worked like a charm following the instructions in the Readme.txt (which I edited and tested some time ago). But the end result is not working.

Bsom, what VS version did you use ?

[bsom]

I tried both VS2010 Express and VS2012 Express.

[bsom]

A working copy that I have compiled is available here: http://sgminer.builders

[Bllacky]

I use exactly the same environment and libs, except that this time I used ADL_SDK 7.0. The only difference is that I compiled using release x64... hmmm.

[bsom]

Yeah, I used both ADL_SDK 6.0 and 7.0 and both worked. The only difference I see is that I did 32-bit, just as you have stated.

[mrbrdo]

@bsom I had the object files issue too (understandable), I thought I commited that option into the MSVC project though? I would really appreciate if you can help with the MSVC project so it actually works :)

[Bllacky]

@bsom, if I give you the x64 compiled libs, can you try and build in x64 to see if you get the same error ?

Also your 32-bit version includes the 2 dlls mentioned already in the exe file, my version doesn't include them.

@mrbrdo I think that's why I didn't get the error, because you already fixed it.

[bsom]

@mrbrdo: I downloaded the latest commit yesterday and I still needed to make the change.

[bsom]

@Bllacky: I can give it a try.

[Bllacky]

Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/download/6wohlwo99wy2tlq/dist.zip Remember to install OpenSSL Windows 64-bit.

[bsom]

@Bllacky Got 'em. Trying it out now.

[bsom]

@Bllacky I didn't have the x64 compilers installed. Installing now...

[Bllacky]

I am here, waiting. No worries.

[mrbrdo]

@bsom I would appreciate any pull request making the MSVC build work out of the box.

[bsom]

@mrbrdo I'll send a pull request with the parts I had trouble with...as soon as I'm done with @Bllacky :-)

[bsom]

@Bllacky Good gravy, this Win7.1 SDK takes a long time to install!! :-)

[Bllacky]

I don't think you need Win 7.1 SDK for VS 2012. You only need it for VS 2010.

[troky]

I am building VS2010 32/64 bit without problems... @Bllacky wht kernel you used to get error from OP?

[troky]

btw... I have all dependent libs build statically so only sgminer.exe is built. No need for additional dlls.

[Bllacky]

marucoin-mod. you want me to try another one. Then what exactly am I doing wrong? I downloaded from git, built my own libs, everything should have been fine... there are no compiling errors. Maybe I should paste the compile log here.

[mrbrdo]

@troky I tried to build v5_0 via instructions in the docs with MSVS 2010 Express, but I got that LOOKUP_GAP error when compiling the cl file (after starting sgminer).

[Bllacky]

Got the same error trying to compile cl with zuikkis for scrypt and nscrypt. This error is nonexistent in my mingw32 build.

[bsom]

I can't even get the damn Windows 7.1 SDK to install properly. Keeps giving an error and quitting. Let me check my build for stability. I'll try different cl's.

[Bllacky]

If you use VS 2012, you shouldn't need the SDK. VS 2012 has native x64 support.

[bsom]

Well, I'm going to use 2012 from now on since I won't have the SDK. :-)

[bsom]

Of course, 20 seconds after I type that, it starts installing properly. Sigh.

[Bllacky]

Take control of your computer, don't let IT take control of you :)

[bsom]

OK. I'm really batting .1000 today. I got it compiled in x64 but it won't execute at all. My game is off.

[Bllacky]

What error do you get ?

BTW, this is the output of my build: http://www.mediafire.com/view/p62ok2ibaql85ii/output.txt

[bsom]

0xc000007b Usually that means that the VC++ runtime is missing. But it's there...

[Bllacky]

I had the same error. My solution was to add the OpenCL libs from the bin folder to the sgminer folder. There are 2 which are missing. You can find my sgminer build here: https://www.mediafire.com/?cp66ayqt766xx0f with the dlls.

[bsom]

OK. I can get it to 'run' of a sort. It refuses to compile any CL files: Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram) but I think that's because I'm on my dev machine right now and it has a turd for a video card.

[mrbrdo]

@bsom just in case it's some old amd card.. since v5_0 (because of X11 kernels etc), it doesn't work for AMD Legacy drivers anymore (won't compile cl files).

[bsom]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking is the problem. Unfortunately, I don't have access to any of my miners at the moment. Trying to remedy that so I can test this fully.

[troky]

8198286597f01d19f845d0699e6d4d7213d5e346 fixed kernel build.

[bsom]

OK...Compiles CL's just fine now. Even on my crappy dev computer.

[mrbrdo]

That's awesome guys. Does this mean this is resolved?

[bsom]

@mrbrdo It's solved for me. Don't know about @Bllacky

[troky]

I believe it is.

[Bllacky]

I still need to add the following dlls to the sgminer folder: libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll

But apart from that it seems to work.

[troky]

I can provide compiled static libs (x86/x64) for vs2010 if someone is interested.

[Bllacky]

I have tried to build SGminer this morning. I have tried to build Sgminer again now. Although it says build is successful, when I try to run it (using marucoin-mod). This is the result:

[troky]

Do you have blake.cl in kernel/ folder? Can you post debug log (-T --debug)?

[Bllacky]

Yes. I have blake.cl in kernel folder. I have also tried to move the blake.cl from the kernel to root folder of sgminer. Still not working.

kernel path in config: "tcp-keepalive" : "30", "temp-hysteresis" : "3", "shares" : "0", "kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin" }
