warning CUDA 8 is not supporting VS2017 therefore do not miss the CMake option -T v140,host=x64

Install Dependencies

Preparation

  • open a command line cmd
  • run mkdir C:\xmr-stak-dep

Visual Studio 2017 Community

  • download VS2017 Community and install from https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/
  • during the install chose the components
    • Desktop development with C++ (left side)
    • Toolset for Visual Studio C++ 2015.3 v140... (right side)

Cuda 8.0+

  • donwload and install https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
  • for minimal install choose Custom installation options during the install and select
    • CUDA/Develpment
    • CUDA/Visual Studio Integration (ignore the warning during the install that VS2017 is not supported)
    • CUDA/Runtime
    • Driver components

CMake for Win64

  • download and install the latest version from https://cmake.org/download/
  • tested version: cmake 3.9
  • during the install choose the option Add CMake to the system PATH for all users

OpenSSL for Win64

Microhttpd for Win32

  • download the precompiled binary from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/libmicrohttpd/
  • tested version: libmicrohttpd-0.9.55-w32-bin
  • unzip microhttpd to C:\xmr-stak-dep
  • Add the microhttpd lib folder to the enviroment variable MICROHTTPD_ROOT (if you follow exactly the steps before: C:\xmr-stak-dep\libmicrohttpd-0.9.55-w32-bin\x86_64\VS2017\Release-static)

Validate the Dependency Folder

  • open a command line cmd
  • run 
    cd c:\xmr-stak-dep
tree .
  • the result should have the same structure 
      C:\XMR-STAK-DEP

Compile

  • download and unzip xmr-stak-nvidia
  • open a command line cmd
  • cd to your unzipped source code directory
  • execute the following commands (NOTE: path to VS2017 can be different) 
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\Tools\VsMSBuildCmd.bat"
set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=C:\xmr-stak-dep\libmicrohttpd-0.9.55-w32-bin\x86_64\VS2017\Release-static
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -T v140,host=x64 ..
msbuild xmr-stak-nvidia.sln /p:Configuration=Release
cd bin\Release
copy ..\..\..\config.txt .
  • customize your config.txt file by adding the pool, username and password

If your system does not recognize msbuild as a command, you can also open the solution with Visual Studio 2017, select the right configuration (Release, x64) and build within the IDE (Pressing F7)
