I'm trying to compile Prime95, v24.14 using Visual Studio 2005, X64. The
reason? - well, I'm playing about with a Quad-core Opteron workstation, and
wanted to see if it might be possible to 'decompose' the Lucas-Lehmer code over
4 CPU cores. Also, I have an FPGA co-processor device to try out....
Anyhow, the build issues I am seeing are:
1/ "security.c" is missing from the zipfile. I guess this is to stop people
producing errant Prime95's that can connect to the Primenet server,
masquerading as the real program. Does anyone know how to get around this
problem? (I commented out security.c and the compile now gets further, but I'm
certain this missing file will bite me in the future)
2/ When I "nmake /f Compil64", I get masses of errors compiling the assembler
files, of the type:
Assembling: xmult1.asm
unravel.mac(10) : error A2008: syntax error : rax
unravel.mac(11) : error A2008: syntax error : rbx
unravel.mac(12) : error A2008: syntax error : rcx
unravel.mac(17) : error A2008: syntax error : rsp
xmult1.asm(37) : error A2070: invalid instruction operands
_movsd(2): Macro Called From
xcopy_7_words(4): Macro Called From
xfft32(52): Macro Called From
type1(11): Macro Called From
xfft(1): Macro Called From
xmult1.asm(37): Main Line Code
(I have trimmed this logfile quite a bit, but you get the idea) It looks as
though the assembler is assembling for the wrong platform somehow?
I'd be really grateful if anyone can offer any pointers as to how to get the
v24.14 code to compile...
Thanks, Peter Moreton
