* Introduction                                                                       *

The following instructions have been tested on both Windows 7 and Windows XP.
Most of what is described below (copying files, downloading files, etc.) can be done
directly in the MinGW MSYS shell; these instructions do not do so because package
versions and links change over time. The best way is to use your browser, go to the
links directly, and see for yourself which versions you want to install.
Winrar was used to do the extracting of archive files in the making of this guide.

* A tip that might help you along the way                                            *
**************************************************************************************
Enable "QuickEdit Mode" in your Command Prompt Window or MinGW Command Prompt
Window (No need to go into the context menu to choose edit-mark/copy/paste):
Right-click on the title bar and click Properties. Under the Options tab, check
the box for "QuickEdit Mode". Alternately, if you want this change to be
permanent on all of your Command Prompt Windows; you can click Defaults instead
of Properties as described above. Now you can drag and select text you want to
copy, right-click to copy the text to the clipboard and right-click once again to
paste it at the desired location. You could for example, copy some text from this
document to the clipboard and right click in your Command Prompt Window to paste
what you copied.

**************************************************************************************
* Install mingw32                                                                    *

**************************************************************************************
Go to this url ==> http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/
Download the file.
After you have downloaded the file Double click/run it and this will install GTK+
I chose all the selection boxes when I installed.
Copy libglib-2.0-0.dll and intl.dll from \Program Files (x86)\gtk2-runtime\bin to
\MinGW\bin
Note: If you are on a 32 bit version of windows "Program Files (x86)" will be
"Program Files".

**************************************************************************************
* Install pkg-config                                                                 *
**************************************************************************************
Go to this url ==> http://www.gtk.org/download/win32.php

The one I downloaded may not be current for you. Choose the latest.
Extract the files that are in the zip (bin, include, and lib) to their respective
locations in MinGW (\MinGW\bin, \MinGW\include, and \MinGW\lib).
Edit the file \MinGW\lib\pkgconfig\libcurl.pc and change "-lcurl" to
"-lcurl -lcurldll".
Ref. http://old.nabble.com/gcc-working-with-libcurl-td20506927.html

**************************************************************************************
* Build cgminer.exe                                                                  *
**************************************************************************************
Run the MinGW MSYS shell
(Start Icon/keyboard key ==> All Programs ==> MinGW ==> MinGW Shell).
Change the working directory to your CGMiner project folder.
Example: cd cgminer-2.1.2 [Enter Key] if you are unsure then type "ls -la"
Another way is to type "cd cg" and then press the tab key; It will auto fill.
Type the lines below one at a time. Look for problems after each one before going on
to the next.

      adl.sh (optional - see below)
      autoreconf -fvi
      CFLAGS="-O2 -msse2" ./configure (additional config options, see below)
      make
      strip cgminer.exe  <== only do this if you are not compiling for debugging

**************************************************************************************
* Copy files to a build directory/folder                                             *
**************************************************************************************
Make a directory and copy the following files into it. This will be your CGMiner
Folder that you use for mining. Remember the .cl filenames could change on later
releases. If you installed a different version of libcurl then some of those dll's
may be different as well.
  cgminer.exe     from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x
  *.cl            from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x
  README          from \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(username)\cgminer-x.x.x
  libcurl.dll     from \MinGW\bin
  libidn-11.dll   from \MinGW\bin
  libeay32.dll    from \MinGW\bin
  ssleay32.dll    from \MinGW\bin
  libpdcurses.dll from \MinGW\bin
  pthreadGC2.dll  from \MinGW\bin

**************************************************************************************
* Optional - Install Git into MinGW/MSYS                                             *
**************************************************************************************
Go to this url ==> http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/
Click on the Downloads tab.
Download the latest "Portable" git archive.
Extract the git*.exe files from the bin folder and put them into \MinGW\bin.
Extract the share\git-core folder and place it into \MinGW\share.
After the previous step you should have a folder called \MinGW\share\git-core.
To test if it is working, open a MinGW shell and type the following:
  git config -–global core.autocrlf false (note: one time run only)
  git clone git://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer.git

If you simply just want to update the source after you have already cloned, type:
  git pull
"git pull" did not work for me. Try the following which does the same thing:
  git fetch && git merge FETCH_HEAD

Now you can get the latest source directly from github.

**************************************************************************************
* Optional - Make a .sh file to automate copying over ADL files                      *
**************************************************************************************
Make a folder/directory in your home folder and name it ADL_SDK.
 (ref:  \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(folder with your user name)\ADL_SDK)
Copy the ADL .h files into that folder/directory.
Open your favorite text editor and type the following into it.
 cp -av ../ADL_SDK/*.h ADL_SDK
Save the file as "adl.sh" and then place the file into "\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin".
From now on when your current working directory is the cgminer source directory
You can simply type "adl.sh" and it will place the ADL header files into place
For you. Make sure you never remove the ADL_SDK folder from your home folder.

**************************************************************************************
* Optional - Install libusb if you need auto USB device detection; required for Ztex *
**************************************************************************************
Go to this url ==> http://git.libusb.org/?p=libusb.git;a=snapshot;h=master;sf=zip
save the file to your local storage. Open the file and copy the libusb* folder to
\MinGW\msys\1.0\home\(your user directory/folder).
Or if you do not want to download the file directly and would like to use git then
Type the following from the MSYS shell in your home folder.
git clone git://git.libusb.org/libusb.git

Run the MinGW MSYS shell
(Start Icon/keyboard key ==> All Programs ==> MinGW ==> MinGW Shell).
Change the working directory to your libusb project folder.
Example: cd libusb-something [Enter Key] if you are unsure then type "ls -la"
Another way is to type "cd libusb" and then press the tab key; It will auto fill.
Type the lines below one at a time. Look for problems after each one before going on
to the next.

./autogen.sh --disable-debug-log --prefix=/MinGW
make
make install

You may now exit the MSYS shell.
Ctrl-D or typing "logout" and pressing the enter key should get you out of the
window.

You will have to copy "libusb-1.0.dll" to your working cgminer binary directory.
You will find "libusb-1.0.dll" in the \MinGW\bin directory/folder.

Use this method if libusb does not work for you on Ztex. Once someone lets us know
Libusb works instead of libusbx then we will remove the section below this line.
Run the MSYS shell and change into the libusb folder as above.
Type ==> make uninstall
Go to this url ==> http://libusbx.org/
Click on the "Downloads" tab.
Click on "releases".
Click on the latest version. I downloaded 1.0.14; yours may be newer.
Do not download from the link that says "Looking for the latest version?".
Click on "Windows"
Click on the file and download it. I downloaded libusbx-1.0.12-win.7z.
Extract the the following from the file and place in where directed.
Copy libusb.h from include\libusbx-1.0 to \MinGW\include\libusb-1.0\libusb.h
Copy contents of MinGW32\static \MinGW\lib
Copy contents of MinGW32\dll to \MinGW\lib
You will have to copy "libusb-1.0.dll" to your working cgminer binary directory.

######################################################################################

It is possible to cross-compile Windows binaries from Linux. The
process is a bit different to the native steps shown above (it is also
possible to use wine and the native steps, but this is more messing
around, very slow, and not advisable.)

** Install mingw cross compiler

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo apt-get install mingw32

** create a directory to hold our cross-library dependencies

We'll create a directory outside the source tree to hold non-system
libraries we depend on. We could put these in
/usr/i586-mingw32msvc/lib or anywhere else, instead (though keeping it
outside /usr means we can set it up without root privileges.)

IMPORTANT: If you put this directory inside your cgminer directory,
remember 'make distclean' may delete it!

mkdir -p ../cgminer-win32-deps/lib
cd ../cgminer-win32-deps
mkdir include
mkdir bin

NB: All following steps assume you are in the "cgminer-win32-deps" directory. Adjust as necessary.

** pdcurses

wget http://internode.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pdcurses/pdcurses/3.4/pdc34dllw.zip
unzip /home/gus/Downloads/pdc34dllw.zip
mv *.h include/
mv pdcurses.lib lib/
mv pdcurses.dll bin/

** pthreads-w32

(NB: I found pthreads-w32 2.9.1 doesn't seem to work properly, transfers time out early due to sem_timedwait exiting immediately(?))

wget -O lib/libpthread.a ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/lib/libpthreadGC2.a
wget -O include/pthread.h ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/include/pthread.h
wget -O include/sched.h ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/include/sched.h
wget -O include/semaphore.h ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/include/semaphore.h
wget -O lib/libpthread.a ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/lib/libpthreadGC2.a
wget -O bin/pthreadGC2.dll ftp://sourceware.org/pub/pthreads-win32/prebuilt-dll-2-8-0-release/lib/pthreadGC2.dll

** libcurl

wget http://curl.haxx.se/gknw.net/7.33.0/dist-w32/curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32.zip
unzip curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32.zip
mv curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32/include/* include/
mv curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32/lib/* lib/
mv curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32/bin/* bin/
rm -rf curl-7.33.0-devel-mingw32


** clean up

rm *.zip


** Building cgminer

Below assumes you're building in a "build-win32" or similar directory
inside the cgminer directory. Fix up the -I and -L paths appropriately
if you're building in-tree or someplace else.

Configure command:

CPPFLAGS="-I`pwd`/../../cgminer-win32-deps/include" LDFLAGS="-L`pwd`/../../cgminer-win32-deps/lib -lcurldll" ../autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local/i586-mingw32 --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i686-linux 

^^^ Plus whatever configure arguments you want to add. Note the paths
    to cgminer-win32-deps that you may need to change.

And make:

make

After cgminer builds, the next steps are the same as for native
building as given under "Copy files to a build directory/folder"
(DLLs can all be found in the cgminer-win32-deps/bin directory.)
