Can you make it clear which compiler I have to use to compile this on Windows? about xmr-stak-cpu HOT 10 CLOSED

Use Visual Studio 2015/2017.

Target compiler for Windows is Visual Studio 2015 CE - this is what I use to compile Windows releases. Any kind of semi-posix build environment (MinGW64, msys2 etc.) will require you to customise the portability defines as I assume a total lack of posix if Windows is present.

If you are looking to compile using msys2, have a look at the changes on this fork:

Thank you very much for the information. I have succesfully compiled it with Visual Studio 2017, it works ok.

dandare76, What version did you use Visual Studio 2017 CE or Express?

Where can one find microhttpd.lib for Windows?

from xmr-stak-cpu.

You can compile it from source or download the binary here https://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/ Keep in mind that all .libs and the final exe need to have the same static (/MT) or dynamic (/MD) setting for libc.

How do you actually compile this on Windows. Do you use the Visual Studio GUI or CLI?

from xmr-stak-cpu.

It works with Visual Studio GUI.

You could use Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition but you need to create a project by your own.
