Make sure git submodules are up to date:
git submodule update --init --recursive
Add the following cmake options to the project:
-DCUDA_ENABLE=OFF -DOpenCL_ENABLE=OFF
See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48467983/10450514
yay -Sy mingw-w64-qt5-base mingw-w64-boost and always select bootstrap when possible
For 64 bit, execute x86_64-w64-mingw32-cmake
For 32 bit, execute i686-w64-mingw32-cmake
Finally, type make. It will always build with static linking for target Windows.
You need to refactor /include/bcrypt/bcrypt.h to bcryptt.h for example, because the mingw-w64 headers already have a file called bcrypt.h. ncrypt.h in mingw-w64 #include <bcrypt.h> -> this includes the one in /include/bcrypt/bcrypt.h and not the one in the mingw-w64 headers thus giving errors.
Building for 32 bits: you'll get the following error: conflicting types for ‘ssize_t’. To solve this, you need to replace typedef __int32 ssize_t; with the following code block in the bcryptt.c src file, whose header was reformated in the previous step:
#if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_WIN64)
typedef __int32 ssize_t;
#elif defined(_WIN32) && defined(_WIN64)
typedef __int64 ssize_t;
#endif
If host is window: make sure you use the posix version of mingw!
Linux/Win hosts: for some reason, cpu/crypto/common/VirtualMemory_unix.cpp get included even if building for target windows. Solution: find out why it gets included instead of VirtualMemory_win.cpp. Hack is to rename the unix version to unixx and make a copy of the win.cpp with the unix's name.
Next problem: in file home_dir.hpp <Winsock2.h> and <Shlobj.h> are not found. Refactor these header files by removing the capital letters.
Next: <byteswap.h> not found in file jext.hpp. That's because _MSC_VER is not defined for some reason. Solution: add a #define _MSC_VER above the #ifdef _MSC_VER line.
Next problem: getenv_s function was not declared in file console.cpp. That's because it's only a MSVC function, not available on mingw. Solution: replace the win_exit(int code) function with the following code:
void win_exit(int code)
{
//size_t envSize = 0;
//getenv_s(&envSize, nullptr, 0, "XMRSTAK_NOWAIT");
char* t = std::getenv("XMRSTAK_NOWAIT");
if(t) {
printer::inst()->print_str("Press any key to exit.");
get_key();
}
std::exit(code);
}
Next problem: error: invalid conversion from 'std::thread::native_handle_type' {aka ‘long long unsigned int’} to ‘HANDLE’ {aka ‘void*’} [-fpermissive] Solution: replace this: ´return SetThreadAffinityMask(h, 1ULL << cpu_id) != 0;´ with ´return SetThreadAffinityMask(reinterpret_cast(h), 1ULL << cpu_id) != 0;´
Done for compilation problems :)
One more linking error: unrecognized option '-z'. Where does it come from?
Solution: go into the CMake caches, and find a link.txt and remove -z,noexecstack
This argument comes from the xmr-stak cmake lists file
