How to compile / build xmrig source code #197

howTOdoIT2 · 2017-11-12T21:24:46Z

hi dude

First at all ..awesome app I get the highest H/s with your app but I wanna modified some stuff I wanna make it available in other language (I wanna change all the English stuff from the app)
I install MSYS2 and CMake (cmake-gui) also visual studio 2017

I never use those software before ..but to change some text is not that hard

HOW CAN I compiled the source code ? I use CMake (cmake-gui) select the source code "xmrig-2.4.2" and in Configured I choose "visual studio 15 2017 win64" I click generate but I get an error

Selecting Windows SDK version 10.0.16299.0 to target Windows 6.1.7601.

I download the xmrig-deps-v2 but I don't know where I need to put it.

Also can I compile direct from visual studio 2017? (I google it and find out how to clone a GIThub project) but what is the start up item app_win.cpp xmrig.cpp ?

Can you give a detailed step by step for building the app from the source code?

thank you

Install VS 2017 community
Install the latest cmake-gui for windows
Extract xmrig-master.zip to C:\
Extract xmrig-deps-v2.zip somewhere, copy xmrig-deps-v2.zip\msvc2017\ contents (two folders there) to C:\deps\
Go to C:\xmrig-master folder, create "build" directory in it
Create .bat file in "build" directory with the following contents:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\CMake\bin\cmake" .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\deps\libuv\x64\include -DUV_LIBRARY=C:\deps\libuv\Release\lib\libuv.lib
pause

Launch .bat file, wait for solution to be generated
Open .sln file in VS 2017
Switch build type to "Release"
Build => Build ALL_BUILD

Get your .exe in \xmrig-master\build\Release\ folder.

I don't know how to tell in a simplier way. That's it.

I personally generate the project usin' intel compiler, but these goals are mine ;)

howTOdoIT2 · 2017-11-13T09:42:05Z

that's why is not working if you use other compiler ...

but as you said you use a total different method to compile so ..this one I'm sure is not working..

YetAnotherRussian · 2017-11-13T10:39:34Z

Your error is related to microhttpd (forget about syslog header file), see code:

if (MHD_FOUND)
    include_directories(${MHD_INCLUDE_DIRS})
    set(HTTPD_SOURCES src/api/Httpd.h src/api/Httpd.cpp)
else()
    message(FATAL_ERROR "microhttpd NOT found: use `-DWITH_HTTPD=OFF` to build without http deamon support")

Just copy microhttpd.h and libmicrohttpd.lib from x64 deps folder to %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% or %PROGRAMFILES% folder, it should look like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\libmicrohttpd.lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\microhttpd.h

So, cmake will find them automatically.

howTOdoIT2 · 2017-11-13T10:59:24Z

well well well my dear tovarishch that's something else I did get the xmrig.sln and then with visual studio I build it and I have a fresh xmrig.exe

why those damn software can't be made using just one application ..God knows and the coders ...anyway spasiba

mariocaptain · 2017-11-17T07:30:03Z

Following your guidance I have succeeded in compiling in VS 2015 into x64. But when I compile for x86, Visual Studio 's linker reports 7 errors, like below:

Error LNK2001 unresolved external symbol _MHD_start_daemon xmrig C:\xmrig-master\build\Httpd.obj 1

This is my build.bat for x86:

"%PROGRAMFILES%\CMake\bin\cmake" .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR=C:\deps\libuv\x86\include -DUV_LIBRARY=C:\deps\libuv\x86\lib\libuv.lib
pause

Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks so much!

lisaQLY · 2017-12-14T01:44:26Z

I have the same problem with you ,how can you solve the problem?

howTOdoIT2 · 2017-12-14T02:57:16Z

lisaQLY

The shit work ..i compiled it..and I don't know programming and how this apps work..but I read and install all the shit that our dear tovarishch developer say here

Just copy microhttpd.h and libmicrohttpd.lib from x64 deps folder to %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% or %PROGRAMFILES% folder, it should look like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\libmicrohttpd.lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\microhttpd.h

So, cmake will find them automatically.

install ..update all the shit install visual stuff... and ir must work

but my question is...what you wanna change in XMrig? this app work very good at it is...for monero and aeon

to bad on hithub you cant sent private mess to members:P

mariocaptain · 2017-12-15T13:16:25Z

This is what I did: go to the official guide HERE

Pull down you will see the guide for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017.
The given command is:
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libuv\x64\include" -DUV_LIBRARY="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libuv\x64\lib\libuv.lib" -DMHD_INCLUDE_DIR="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libmicrohttpd\x64\include" -DMHD_LIBRARY="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libmicrohttpd\x64\lib\libmicrohttpd.lib"

Now change it to:
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DUV_INCLUDE_DIR="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libuv\x86\include" -DUV_LIBRARY="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libuv\x86\lib\libuv.lib" -DMHD_INCLUDE_DIR="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libmicrohttpd\x86\include" -DMHD_LIBRARY="c:\<path>\msvc2017\libmicrohttpd\x86\lib\libmicrohttpd.lib"

I followed your guidelines and I am getting these errors while building from Visual Studio.
How can I solve these errors?
Thanks

vasilevskykv · 2018-10-29T15:33:35Z

I made Build => Build ALL_BUILD and an error appeared:
1>I:\CLionProjects\monero-xmrig\src\App.cpp(26): fatal error C1083: Can't open file uv.h: No such file or directory. What directory, I don't understand? .bat executed without any problems

vasilevskykv · 2018-10-29T15:34:02Z

Where should I copy uv.h?
