Nope, they're NOT.
There stand:
common.lib
crypto.lib
ringct.lib

In a while I'm going to download the windows Boost 1_63_00 binaries, just to be sure.
Then I'll repeat the whole process.

Just to make it clear: I've Visual Studio Community 2015, the latest CMake Win32 for windows, the latest Python for windows (required by CMake).
I've successfully compiled the Cuda 8 SDK samples. Apparently I've swiftly compiled Boost itself.....it shouldn't be this tough.

One step ahead
Solution file generated.
Compilation created two .exe files into ...../aeon/build/tests/Release dir.
crypto-tests.exe
hash-tests.exe

For the remaining part 63 errors (compiling from GIT shell).

Where I wrote "EDIT:
I've just read the Peer List. Just 16 do connect on a daily basis as I'm writing (mine included) Sad

Besides that, wouldn't it be a good idea to implement some code to allow Peers to broadcast their aeond.exe version?
Maybe this could allow (in future) the capability of smoothly avoiding the loading of blockchain from outdated versions with known problems.."
please ignore.
0.9.11 looks like having sorted it.

Arux, couldn't we keep it as simple as releasing a patched source tree?

Thanks

I'll reply diffusely later. Out for recreation right now 👍🏻

@smooth
Thanks. When back home I'll upgrade my node.
Is there any further requirement besides the obvious upgradings?

@Arux
Thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow 👍🏻

Thanks.
Special instructions?

If it will work I'll give my contribute by writing an updated building HOWTO for windows.

Waiting for your ready-go clearance

By now I'm thoroughly annoyed.
Downloaded and as usual the cmake step failed, in the same way as usual.

Win compiling is definitely an issue to be solved readily, since it is around by long time.
Who is writing is a long time Linux guy (since 1998), yet not everyone here is able to put up a Linux machine and even lesser are able to compile.
I'm sure there are many folks reading here willing to contribute to Aeon widespread by putting up a node.....

Thanks

VS 2015 here.
Thanks for your efforts

Quite what I did, with no luck. In both ways.

Thanks.
Done per your directives with no luck
I.e.: Project.sln is generated but no bins made and lot of errors.

EDIT:
To sum up: latest available Windows binaries are 0.9.8.0, which are the ones I'm using.
Meanwhile two updates have been released, but no binaries for them.
It looks like sources are smoothly compiling on Linux only.
There is only one Exchange service: Bittrex. Yet it has problems.

On top of this Yesterday I had been mining with a 2KH/s power (slightly less than 1% of the Whole pool's hashing power) for 9 full hours on one of the two major pools mentioned in post #1 gaining less than 3.5AEON (no bad shares). I'm monitoring these guys.

Many things

Trying to build 9.9.0 on Windows and building Boost 1_63_0 went ok.

However cmake raised this errors:

WINSOCK2_LIBRARY

Any idea is hotly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks.
I've just tried it (0.5C release) in my W10 MSI with GTX 1050 Ti: looks like being a broken release.
I'll stay with EWBF and act on GPU frequencies (downclock).

What rig have you got? Just to have an idea.

TIA

Ditto: on my own 1st MSI laptop with GTX 1070 the temps are on the 78-81°C tag. On my second MSI (GT72VR 6RE, GTX1050 Ti) it looks like the thermal pipes are way more efficient and I've a steady 61°C.

Also: magnificent piece of programming you did!! I'll keep donating as well
