Ufasoft Miner - Windows/Linux, x86/x64, SSE2/OpenCL, Open Source

[ufasoft]

Are there any options to run it silently (completely invisible) or do we have to edit something before compiling?

Following .vbs script:

Code:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
cmd = "coin-miner.exe"
Return = WshShell.Run(cmd, 0, True)
set WshShell = Nothing

I'm using Visual Studio 11 Beta to try and compile, but I get this error.

Error   2   error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'prj_config.h': No such file or directory   C:\Users\User\ufasoft\ufasoft_coin-0.34\el\inc\inc_configs.h   12   1   bitcoin-miner

Can you specify what version of visual studio I should be using to compile it?

add directory with prj_config.h to default include dirs of the project.
VS 11 (2012) is ok.

Fixed previous errors and it compiles fine now, any suggestions on how to reduce the file size a bit though?

It compiles and works fine on Win7/AMD64 but when trying to run the miner compiled in both x64 and Win32 on Windows XP 32 Bit (in a vm) I get an error stating that it is not a valid win32 application.

It is known problem.  VS2012 linker sets EXE's "min OS version" to 6.0.  WinXP requires 5.0.
There are hacks exist how to  modify EXE binary to 5.0. But more reliable method is to use VS2010, and add /version:5.0 linker option.

Ok, i'll try that.

When building in Release configuration, with x86 as the Active solution platform and the platform of bitcoin-miner and coineng set to Win32, I get errors relating to "Module unsafe for SAFESEH image"

Edit:

Is there any way to monitor the output from the hidden CMD window and for example, if the user doesn't have a GPU installed then the miner defaults back to CPU?

I'm having some issues with Visual Studio 2010/2008 and C++ Express and compiling, are you able to elaborate on the "hacks" you mentioned to change min os version?

I followed the MSDN Link in that article and set the platform toolset to v100 however getting errors.

When compiling on x64 or Win32 in Release mode (With v100 platform toolset), I get these errors.

Error   1   error A1000: cannot open file : el/comp/x86x64.inc   C:\Users\User\ufasoft\ufasoft_coin-0.34\el\libext\bignum-x86x64.asm   8   1   bitcoin-miner (Visual Studio 2010)

When compiling on Win32/Release (With v110/v100 toolset), I get these errors. (However, when I turn /SAFESEH off, it compiles fine - I just wanted to know if it was a bad idea to turn it off)

Error   1   error LNK2026: module unsafe for SAFESEH image.   C:\Users\User\ufasoft\ufasoft_coin-0.34\bignum-x86x64.obj   bitcoin-miner

Error   5   error LNK1281: Unable to generate SAFESEH image.   C:\Users\User\ufasoft\ufasoft_coin-0.34\Release\bitcoin-miner.exe   1   1   bitcoin-miner

This error is fixed now, I copied and pasted the contents of el/comp/x86x64.inc into the top of bignum-x86x64.asm and removed the include, dismissing the errors.

However, I get a new error now.

Error   1   error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stdint.h': No such file or directory   C:\Users\User\ufasoft\ufasoft_coin-0.34\el\libext.h   522   1   bitcoin-miner (Visual Studio 2010)

and upon checking, stdint.h does not exist anywhere in the source code, should I just remove this instruction?

Any ideas what may be causing this? Do I need a certain version of amd app sdk to compile?

Code:

7>el\comp\ext-opencl.cpp(111): error C2039: 'clEnqueueMarker' : is not a member of '`global namespace''
7>el\comp\ext-opencl.cpp(111): error C3861: 'clEnqueueMarker': identifier not found

Switched to AMD APP 2.3 and everything compiling fine on opencl now.

the gpu-cuda.cpp file is not added by default under the "GPU Support" (for VS) with current source tree. If anyone is getting linking errors that they can't figure out where they're coming from. Make sure that gpu-cuda.cpp is included in your tree before building.

[aspirez]

@senseless
can you please upload the project somewhere and post the link?

@senseless

In VS2012 it was pretty. Simple you just need to make sure you have the right version of amd app installed.. Then to fix the linker problems for the cuda stuff you need to add an existing file; in this case... gpu-cuda.cpp file to the project. Then just place it with the other gpu- files. Should compile fine.

[aspirez]

I did this, also installed 2.3 version of AMD APP SDK but i received the following exception at the debugger while trying to run with ATi card.

Unhandled exception at 0x74F3B760 (KernelBase.dll) in bitcoin-miner.exe: 0xC06D007E: Module not found (parameters: 0x0025EEDC).

Forgive me but I'm a complete newb and after an hour going through this thread I'm still very lost..

I've just received a BFL SHA256 Single, have a laptop with linux 12.04 ready to go.  Could someone please explain: What are the steps I need to take to start mining? How do I install and run the ufasoft miner, which pool is easiest to join etc?  I'm hoping someone can post a series of steps I can take and be up and running today. 

Thanks for any help!

simple answer, read the forums, thats why they exist!
as pool recommendation: EclipseMC

EDIT: u mean ubuntu 12.04 not linux 12.04. this is a completely different thing!

Yes I did mean ubuntu 12.04 not Linux.  I gave up and installed Windows XP on that machine to see if that would be easier... I suppose I'm further along in the process but i've had to re-install windows already after screwing up the system with all the extra .dll's I've had to find to get the various miners I've been trying to work.  Ufasoft seems to crash on my machine, and search as I may I still can't figure out what the exact command line is for starting coin-miner.exe with a bitforce single (I've signed up to a pool)... When I use the syntax previously mentioned, I get an error message, then the program crashes when I try and restart until I reboot..

arr, this is very very frustrating!   6 hours straight trying to get this to work and nothing but the loud sound of the fan on my single working.

Can anyone suggest how I might get started mining with my single?  I don't care which program I use so long as it works..

Can you provide SSH access to your Linux with BFL Single connected?
I will build and run the miner to detect posible problems.
