I decided today was the day I'd figure out how to build vertminer myself on Windows.
Here is a SkyDrive link with vertminer 0.5.4pre2 compiled from the latest source from Bufius' GitHub repo.

It seems to be working ok for me, but this is my first time ever compiling either vertminer or cgminer for that matter.

Also, check out my P2Pool node at http://vtc-us-east.oakagedsoftware.com:9171/  Smiley

I tried this on a 2nd system of mine and it just crashes, but a previous build that I did earlier did seem to work. The only difference I'm aware of is this build was done with both "--enable-scrypt --enable-opencl" versus my first build that just had --enable-scrypt, and this one was stripped using "strip vertminer.exe".

Are you interested in doing the support for this new version i have not released yet (still in test)?
Regarding compiling: just use autogen.sh, it will do the job (autoreconf, configure, build and strip alltogether).

@All: this new version now supports mining nfactor scrypt and normal scrypt

vertminer.exe --scrypt .....   -->  mine normal scrypt coins
vertminer.exe --nscrypt  ....   --> mine nfactor scrypt coins (e.g. vertcoin)

But as always: you can use your known cgminer .conf for mining normal scrypt coins BUT THIS WILL NOT WORK WITH VERTCOIN (the other way is fine -> use vertcoin config for normal scrypt coins).
For vertcoin, you have to use other (vertcoin, e.g. TC) settings and i am still playing around with something so this version is ALPHA and USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
