The building procedure for the stock Primecoin client should be the same as for Bitcoin. For my version you also need libgmp on top of that.
I think I'm close to being able to build it. I've gone through all the steps from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0But I have a problem halfway through the compile with primecoin/src/compat.h c:\mingw\bin\../lib/gcc/mingw32/4.7.2/../../../../include/ws2tcpip.h:38:2: error : #error "ws2tcpip.h is not compatible with winsock.h. Include winsock2.h instead." In file included from compat.h:18:0, from netbase.h:11, from net.h:19, from rpcnet.cpp:7: I tried commenting out: //#include <mswsock.h> in compat.h but that didn't work. But this worked: Edit: C:\MinGW\include\windows.h and comment out this part around line 91 /* __USE_W32_SOCKETS is a __CYGWIN__ guard */ /* Ryan #if defined(__USE_W32_SOCKETS) || !(defined(__CYGWIN__) || defined(__MSYS__)) #include <winsock.h> #endif */ Edit2: Just saw your advice mikaelh, thanks that looks like a good fix too! |

If WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN is not defined, then winsock.h would also be included. |

My best guess at this point is that you're behind a strict firewall/proxy. If it's your own firewall, adjust it. If not, there's not much that can be done about it. |

I tried changing the Sieveextensions.
Chainperday is lower with value lower than 6. But I get similar result with 6, 8, 10 and even 12. (highter than that and it crash in a few second)
Is there any purpose to rise this value or the chainperday is telling the truth?

Random tip if you have more than one machine and if your client wont sync. Just use addnode <a local IP address or hostname> add And it will begin to sync within a few seconds. Port not required in my experience.. |

I've got -march=i686 in the CFLAGS but that was to fix something else and I don't think that's it. |

Well, you probably compiled a 32-bit version. I checked the instructions you linked. They are pointing towards the 32-bit version of MinGW. You need a MinGW-w64 compiler to produce 64-bit binaries. I haven't installed that on Windows so I can't really help you there.

ya both GMP and the whole project had to be using 32 bit compilers. GMP doesn't want to compile using the 64 bit compilers either.. so I guess it is not simple to switch at all. When you make a win64 binary do you just make it from Linux somehow? If someone is knowledgeable about GMP on win64 this is the type of errors I get: configure: summary of build options:

I run 3 computers with shitty Athlon II X4 640s and together they seem to produce a block every 2 days using the latest hp client. Individually they seem to out perform my main computer with a mid level sandy bridge i5. Are AMD CPUs better for xpm mining?

Probably not. I will leave it to OP to confirm support for various instruction sets / types. A lot of people think an AMD is 'better' than a intel CPU because they arn't aware that AMD CPUs complete more computational operations per cycle than intel CPUs. This allows them to do 'more work' in any period of time compared to a intel CPU, even one that has a faster frequency (GHz). For example, what do you think would be faster: A server with one dual-core AMD Opteron CPU @ 2.4 GHz or, A server with two physical intel Xeon CPUs, each single core, with hyper threading @ 3.6 GHz As it turns out, the AMD will GREATLY outperform the intel CPUs. --- In reality even comparing frequency is meaningless now. There are other important differences like bus / HT speed, cache size and allotment (shared or dedicated between cores etc). I would recommend this page: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.phpas a reasonably good source of estimates for comparing CPUs. Be careful though: if you must make an important comparison (eg when buying things) then click the link of each CPU listed and check that the score is a good average of several submitted scores. CPUs with only a handful - or worse only one - submitted score can have huge score variances (20%+) and mislead you. |

Some stats for hp10 :
2 x Opteron 2376 = "chainsperday" : 2.54092020 <- Really old CPU
1 x Intel i7 3770K = "chainsperday" : 2.77305771
Still no blocks found though in almost 24h.
Hope others will share their stats so we can build a nice performance thread.

I'm fairly certain that HP10 does NOT find blocks at 2 x the rate of HP9, despite the 2 x increase in chains per day value. About an hour after HP10 came out I spun up 500 x 8 core VPS instances and ran them for 6 hours. That was ~1000 CPD. I'm aware that the diff is now rising which will skew things, but in that time I got about the same block rate (average 4 an hour) as I did when I last tested a week ago with HP9 when diff was 9.75. Allowing for some luck variation (which should be largely eliminated due to the high number of instances), I can say it is not twice as fast at finding blocks. I can't say how much faster it is without more testing, which I'm not doing as running those 500 instances is NOT profitable by a long way |
