Cpuminer is working and Im planing to use it on some xeon servers.
On Haswell Xeon it works like charm but cpuminer-opt-3-3-2-windows is not working on Westmere Xeon, I've got error message asking me to recompile. Same error on some older Xeons, with only SSE2 support.
Can some good soul explain how to do that.
Which model CPU do you have and can you confirm it has both AES_NI and AVX.
The rebuild message you saw was changed in v3.3.2 to also check for AVX. This
means the miner thinks the CPU has AVX as well as AES_NI, need to confirm that.
If the miner is wrong it's a bug I need to investigate.
If your CPU does indeed have AES_NI and AVX then the message is correct and the
Westmere build was not compiled with AES-AVX1 support.
In the meantime you can ignore the message and keep mining.
Edit:
The best thing to do, IMO, is to install mingw on your Westmere and compile for youself for
the native architecture. This should ensure you get an optimum build regardless if your CPU
has AVX1 or not, assuming the capabilities check is working properly. If not it will help define
the problem better.
As I said I don't have the proper CPU to test with so I'm dependent on users like you to confirm
the AVX1 check is working properly. I appreciate your time and efforts.
I recommend this to any users with CPUs in the grey zone between core2 and Sandybridge.
