How compile Litecoin miner?

[Frodek]

I download Windows client Litecoin binary (is only for windows?)
I download ArtForz cpuminer source from Github. How compile it under Windows? I install MinGW but i can't found sh.exe for running autogen.sh
         Basic WIN32 build instructions (on Fedora 13; requires mingw32):
   ./autogen.sh   # only needed if building from git repo
   rm -f mingw32-config.cache
   MINGW32_CFLAGS="-O3 -Wall -msse2" mingw32-configure
   make
   ./mknsis.sh
 
libcurl is needed for Windows?

The guidance is for cross-compiling(build WIN32 EXE on Linux) only. You may want to use virtual machines to compile it, or get some pre-compiled-and-optimized binaries here:

I've tried to cross-compile but the result is not as good as those binaries. but maybe I was just used incorrect optim?

Strange thing: I have the best results on Core i7 with SSE4a version. Come on, my CPU doesn't even support these instructions... Must be the Scrypt so pro-AMD?

If you're using GCC 4.6 or later:

Code:

-march=corei7

Sandy Bridge:

Code:

-march=corei7-avx

Actually I used precompiled binaries from wuala.com. SSE4a is definitely faster than SSSE3/SSE4.1-4.2/AVX in 32bits and slightly faster than Core i7-optimized binaries in 64 bits. 64-bit miner is almost 2 times faster than 32-bit. My CPU is 2600K.

Correct! This is true because twobits, whose binaries you are using, compiled his own libraries for minerd specifically for the amd64 miner. You should expect a healthy boost in hash-rate when he gets around to updating said i7 miner.

I hope so. Anyway in 32-bit environment SSE4a miner is faster than AVX miner and my CPU doesn't even support SSE4a. It's quite strange.

Ive tried the 32 bit miners posted in that link and...they all crash... any fix for this?
Thanks
