+Intel Core2 or newer, or AMD Steamroller or newer CPU. ARM CPUs are not

+64 bit Linux operating system. Apple is not supported.
+
+Building on linux prerequisites:
+
+It is assumed users know how to install packages on their system and
+be able to compile standard source packages. This is basic Linux and
+beyond the scope of cpuminer-opt. Regardless compiling is trivial if you
+follow the instructions.
+
+Make sure you have the basic development packages installed.
+Here is a good start:
+
+http://askubuntu.com/questions/457526/how-to-install-cpuminer-in-ubuntu
+
+Install any additional dependencies needed by cpuminer-opt. The list below
+are some of the ones that may not be in the default install and need to
+be installed manually. There may be others, read the error messages they
+will give a clue as to the missing package.
+
+The following command should install everything you need on Debian based
+distributions such as Ubuntu:
+
+sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libjansson-dev libgmp-dev automake zlib1g-dev
+
+build-essential  (Development Tools package group on Fedora)
+automake
+libjansson-dev
+libgmp-dev
+libcurl4-openssl-dev
+libssl-dev
+lib-thread
+zlib1g-dev
+
+SHA support on AMD Ryzen CPUs requires gcc version 5 or higher and
+openssl 1.1.0e or higher. Add one of the following, depending on the
+compiler version, to CFLAGS:
+"-march=native" or "-march=znver1" or "-msha".
+
+Due to poor AVX2 performance on Ryzen users should add -DRYZEN_ to CFLAGS
+to override multiway AVX2 on algos with sha256, and use SHA instead.
+
+Additional instructions for static compilalation can be found here:
+https://lxadm.com/Static_compilation_of_cpuminer
+Static builds should only considered in a homogeneous HW and SW environment.
+Local builds will always have the best performance and compatibility.
+
+Extract cpuminer source.

+Windows
+
+Precompiled Windows binaries are built on a Linux host using Mingw
+with a more recent compiler than the following Windows hosted procedure.
+
+Building on Windows prerequisites:
+
+msys
+mingw_w64
+Visual C++ redistributable 2008 X64
+openssl
+
+Install msys and mingw_w64, only needed once.
+
+Unpack msys into C:\msys or your preferred directory.
+
+Install mingw_w64 from win-builds.
+Follow instructions, check "msys or cygwin" and "x86_64" and accept default
+existing msys instalation.
+
+Open a msys shell by double clicking on msys.bat.
+Note that msys shell uses linux syntax for file specifications, "C:\" is
+mounted at "/c/".
+
+Add mingw bin directory to PATH variable
+PATH="/c/msys/opt/windows_64/bin/:$PATH"
+
+Instalation complete, compile cpuminer-opt.
+
+Unpack cpuminer-opt source files using tar from msys shell, or using 7zip
+or similar Windows program.
+
+In msys shell cd to miner directory.
+cd /c/path/to/cpuminer-opt
+
+Run build.sh to build on Windows or execute the following commands.

+
+Start mining
+
+cpuminer.exe -a algo -o url -u user -p password
+
+The following tips may be useful for older AMD CPUs.
+
+AMD CPUs older than Steamroller, including Athlon x2 and Phenom II x4, are
+not supported by cpuminer-opt due to an incompatible implementation of SSE2
+on these CPUs. Some algos may crash the miner with an invalid instruction.
+Users are recommended to use an unoptimized miner such as cpuminer-multi.
+
+Some users with AMD CPUs without AES_NI have reported problems compiling
+with build.sh or "-march=native". Problems have included compile errors
+and poor performance. These users are recommended to compile manually
+specifying "-march=btver1" on the configure command line.
+
+Support for even older x86_64 without AES_NI or SSE2 is not availble.

+Instructions for compiling cpuminer-opt for Windows.
+
+
+Windows compilation using Visual Studio is not supported. Mingw64 is
+used on a Linux system (bare metal or virtual machine) to cross-compile
+cpuminer-opt executable binaries for Windows.
+
+These instructions were written for Debian and Ubuntu compatible distributions
+but should work on other major distributions as well. However some of the
+package names or file paths may be different.
+
+It is assumed a Linux system is already available and running. And the user
+has enough Linux knowledge to find and install packages and follow these
+instructions.
+
+First it is a good idea to create new user specifically for cross compiling.
+It keeps all mingw stuff contained and isolated from the rest of the system.
+
+Step by step...
+
+1. Install necessary packages from the distribution's repositories.
+
+Refer to Linux compile instructions and install required packages.
+
+Additionally, install mingw-64.
+
+sudo apt-get install mingw-w64
+
+
+2. Create a local library directory for packages to be compiled in the next
+   step. Recommended location is $HOME/usr/lib/
+
+
+3. Download and build other packages for mingw that don't have a mingw64
+   version available in the repositories.
+
+Download the following source code packages from their respective and
+respected download locations, copy them to ~/usr/lib/ and uncompress them. 
+
+openssl
+curl
+gmp
+
+In most cases the latest vesrion is ok but it's safest to download
+the same major and minor version as included in your distribution.
+
+Run the following commands or follow the supplied instructions.
+Do not run "make install" unless you are using ~/usr/lib, which isn't
+recommended.
+
+Some instructions insist on running "make check". If make check fails
+it may still work, YMMV.
+
+You can speed up "make" by using all CPU cores available with "-j n" where
+n is the number of CPU threads you want to use.
+
+openssl:
+
+./Configure mingw64 shared --cross-compile-prefix=x86_64-w64-mingw32
+make
+
+curl:
+
+./configure --with-winssl --with-winidn --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32
+make
+
+gmp:
+
+./configure --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 
+make
+
+
+
+4. Tweak the environment.
+
+This step is required everytime you login or the commands can be added to
+.bashrc.
+
+Define some local variables to point to local library. 
+
+export LOCAL_LIB="$HOME/usr/lib"
+
+export LDFLAGS="-L$LOCAL_LIB/curl/lib/.libs -L$LOCAL_LIB/gmp/.libs -L$LOCAL_LIB/openssl"
+
+export CONFIGURE_ARGS="--with-curl=$LOCAL_LIB/curl --with-crypto=$LOCAL_LIB/openssl --host=x86_64-w64-mingw32"
+
+Create a release directory and copy some dll files previously built.
+This can be done outside of cpuminer-opt and only needs to be done once.
+If the release directory is in cpuminer-opt directory it needs to be
+recreated every a source package is decompressed.
+
+mkdir release
+cp /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/zlib1.dll release/
+cp /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib/libwinpthread-1.dll release/
+cp /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/7.3-win32/libstdc++-6.dll release/
+cp /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/7.3-win32/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll release/
+cp $LOCAL_LIB/openssl/libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll release/
+cp $LOCAL_LIB/curl/lib/.libs/libcurl-4.dll release/
+
+
+
+The following steps need to be done every time a new source package is
+opened.
+
+5. Download cpuminer-opt
+
+Download the latest source code package of cpumuner-opt to your desired
+location. .zip or .tar.gz, your choice.
+
+https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/releases
+
+Decompress and change to the cpuminer-opt directory.
+
+
+
+6. Prepare to compile
+
+Create a link to the locally compiled version of gmp.h
+
+ln -s $LOCAL_LIB/gmp-version/gmp.h ./gmp.h
+
+Edit configure.ac to fix lipthread package name.
+
+sed -i 's/"-lpthread"/"-lpthreadGC2"/g' configure.ac
+
+
+7. Compile
+
+you can use the default compile if you intend to use cpuminer-opt on the
+same CPU and the virtual machine supports that architecture.
+
+./build.sh
+
+Otherwise you can compile manually while setting options in CFLAGS.
+
+Some common options:
+
+To compile for a specific CPU architecture:
+
+CFLAGS="-O3 -march=znver1 -Wall" ./configure --with-curl
+
+This will compile for AMD Ryzen.
+
+You can compile more generically for a set of specific CPU features
+if you know what features you want:
+
+CFLAGS="-O3 -maes -msse4.2 -Wall" ./configure --with-curl
+
+This will compile for an older CPU that does not have AVX.
+
+You can find several examples in build-allarch.sh
+
+If you have a CPU with more than 64 threads and Windows 7 or higher you
+can enable the CPU Groups feature:
+
+-D_WIN32_WINNT==0x0601
+
+Once you have run configure successfully run make with n CPU threads:
+
+make -j n
+
+Copy cpuminer.exe to the release directory, compress and copy the release
+directory to a Windows system and run cpuminer.exe from the command line.
+
+Run cpuminer
+
+In a command windows change directories to the unzipped release folder.
+to get a list of all options:
+
+cpuminer.exe --help
+
+Command options are specific to where you mine. Refer to the pool's
+instructions on how to set them.
