hi, i'm using pentium 4 32 bit cpu to test this miner for some time.why is my grs-cpu32 miner crashing with errors like these "minerd.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.We are sorry for the inconvenience."? is this miner compiled using CFLAGS="-march=cputype -O3" to run only on a specific cpu type?thanks in advanced.

Download this version and try again: https://mega.co.nz/#!WMQTiIYB!XlQyKu5xuxMadTWbrN5qyFBw4DkObqb3NB-FwjZ7iAE

it has also the same problem. i tried to compile the source code with instructions from github but it is hard for me who has little knowledge in programming.the make part of compiling with mingw says "ld.exe cant find -lssl and -lcrypto.i don't know how to read that kind of errors.do you know how to compile the source code to work for all kinds of 32 bit computers? thanks.

From which github are u trying to compile? This one: https://github.com/ig0tik3d/GroestlCoin-cpu-1.0a ?
Could u give a go with this version: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9cvOfoOekSdMUF2b2Q0Rk56cTA/edit?pli=1

the error u are getting means that openssl libs are missing during the compile. U need to install OpenSSL from here: http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Try adding this to libs:
LIBS += -L"C:/OpenSSL-Win32/lib" -llibeay32

i installed the openssl manually and then used the msys command line, entered your commands and it says no such file or directory. i even first typed cd /c/ then entered the commands but also the same.by the way, the one i downloaded from the link you gave me is for windows 64.i'm almost there just not for my 32 bit pc. do you compiled it with no -march flags for a certain computer? thanks.

Did u install openssl in the directory C:/OpenSSL-Win32/ or in /mingw/openssl/?
If the last one then u need to include the openssl:

cd /mingw/include
ln -s ../openssl/include/openssl openssl


Is the MinGW make u are using a win32 make? I never had to compile it myself as all versions work on my pc. Perhaps others has some ideas. For now i give up, as this is beyond my knowledge.

On a side note: I strongly suggest to mine with other pc as the hashrate u will be getting on that pentium 4 will be too low (the android miner we released will be even faster i think). The 64 bit cpu miner has bigger hashrate compared to the 32 bit btw.
