Cgminer vs bfgminer vs other
-
I’ve got 3.1.1 here you can have a copy of, just PM me somewhere to drop it for you
UM
-
I’ve got a zip file of 3.7.2 you can have also…
-
sgminer is what I use. https://github.com/veox/sgminer
It’s a fork of cgminer 3.7.2, with all the non-scrypt stuff taken out. Smaller and just as fast. A few things are being worked on that will let you fine-tune your intensity.
Be aware, though, that the display style has been reverted to the earlier 3.1 cgminer style. -
Thanks very much for the help everyone.
I wanted 3.7.2 as I think it might give me a higher hash then 3.5.0
Also does anyone know of a 64bit windows build of sgminer - or does the 32bit one work just fine on 64bit machines running Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks very much

There is no binary release of sgminer, so you’ll have to (and want to) compile it yourself. The documentation is all there along with the source code.
On the other hand, if you’d like to run a binary passed to you by some stranger on the internet… feel free ;) -

I tried to go through the instructions for building cgminer 3.7.2 and it just did not work ! - what a time sink !
[/quote]What’s not working? Where are you getting stuck in the process?
Once you have the right tools installed, it should be a very simple and straightforward process, worth learning too. Perhaps instead of looking for a binary or different miner, we should help you with the issues. -
I am building on 64bit windows 7 and I am not sure if that is the problem.
As I no minimal web surfing etc on the mining machine for fear of infection ! (lol) - I will have to take a look and post something later
It basically complains about not being able to build in the gou support
and even if I put the right files in C:\MinGW\include bin lib
if the ./configure stage it says something like
opencl … no
- sorry I need access to the box to get the exact stuff - but perhaps someone is going to tell me that you can’t do this on 64 bit Windows - I chose windows as I heard the tools are better for tweaking than Linux - perhaps Linux is the right way to go - anyway - I hope to post more info later.
Thanks

I am running Windows 8.1 64 bit and it’s fine…
I wish I new about BAMT before I purchased all my hardware and software though…
-
I also had this problem last night, instead I used the version in GUI miner which was fine getting really good hash rates on 7950 don’t think the newer version will add much to hash rate tbh

[/quote]You don’t have the opencl development libraries installed (or at least not where it expects to find them).
From https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/windows-build.txt:
Go to this url for the latest AMD APP SDK:
http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/
Go to this url for legacy AMD APP SDK’s:
http://developer.amd.com/tools/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/download-archive/
Download and install whichever version you like best.
Copy the folders in \Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\include to \MinGW\include
Copy \Program Files (x86)\AMD APP\lib\x86\libOpenCL.a to \MinGW\lib
Note: If you are on a 32 bit version of windows “Program Files (x86)” will be
“Program Files”.
Note2: If you update your APP SDK later you might want to recopy the above files
