Step 1: Installation of required tools

Git

CMake

• Install CMake using the CMake Installer: https://cmake.org/download/

• Run MSYS2 and install Make and GCC using pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-make mingw-w64-x86_64-make mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw-w64-i686-gcc
• Add MinGW-w64 to the PATH environment variable
  • Press Windows key and type "env", you should see something like "Edit environment variables", click on that
  • On the popup, select "Environment variables..."
  • Select "Path" and click "Edit..."
  • Add the path to the variable, for example C:\msys64\mingw32\bin

Step 2: OpenMiner compilation

• Open a PowerShell or cmd.exe
• Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/Unarelith/OpenMiner

• Run these commands:
  • cmake -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles" .
  • cmake --build build -j8

Step 3: Running OpenMiner

Using File Explorer

• Copy all the .dll files from build folder to the root of the project
• Copy build\openminer.exe to the root of the project and run it

Using cmd.exe

• Open a cmd.exe in OpenMiner folder
• Run build\openminer.exe

Using PowerShell

• Open a PowerShell in OpenMiner folder
• Run .\build\openminer.exe

Troubleshooting

• If you have issues with missing DLLs, they may be in build folder, try to move them next to openminer.exe
  • Please open an issue if you encounter this kind of problem
