Title: cgminer OpenCL.dll error! ???
Post by: LinuxCoiner on May 23, 2013, 10:59:12 PM
Hello!

I am trying to get cgminer to work on my computer (I run Windows). I've downloaded the windows zip file, extracted it to my computer, and made the batch file. The batchfile reads:

cgminer.exe -o http://stratum.btcguild:3333 -u (myUserNameHere) -p 123

When I then proceed to click on mining.bat (I went through the un-checking hidden file extensions and everything), I get an error that says:

This application failed to start because OpenCL.dll failed to be found.


What should I do???

Thank you!

you probably need to install OpenCL.

You need the opencl drivers from your gpu manufacturer

When I Google Install Open CL I continue to get the Intel SDK 2013 one, and that is unsupported by my hardware :(

Is there a link for Windows Vista out there somewhere?

Did you look for the .dll on google? That usually fixes it. Just put it in the same directory. You can also contact to the software provider at their website. They may help you in better way.

if you don't know who made you gpu i think mining isn't suited for you.

I am getting this error now.

Fresh W7 install.

Fresh AMD Driver install from their website.

Fresh DirectX install.

Fresh AMD SDK install.

I don't get it.

I have 9 other rigs and I am just now getting this error.

You can either download the .dll or do a fresh install of OpenCL. the best course of action is to do a fresh driver install and everything, good luck to you
