Windows command line

mu5tan6 · 2015-03-16, 22:50

Has anyone ever built mPrime for Windows? I would really prefer a command line version over the GUI implementation. I need to write a script to automate starting a series of benchmarks (including Prime95) and its just easier and more reliable if I can use the command line.

I am in the process of attempting to build it myself but it is proving more work than I had anticipated.

Thanks

Have you looked at the Windows Service version?

No I haven't. Is there some mode that lets it operate without being installed as a service?

I would refer you to the above post.

There is no way to do what you want with the existing executables.

I guess you'd want to start with MinGW 64-bit. Maybe someone here has tried that already and can provide some helpful hints.

That what I was gonna suggest yesterday, but figured I'd wait for you to comment first.

Is the performance of the Linux-exe-running-under-MinGW-on-Windows similar to that of the Win64 binary?

I would think so, but I haven't heard of anyone confirming my hypothesis.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't run mprime under MinGW-64.

Code:

$ ./mprime
./mprime: ./mprime: cannot execute binary file

Did you recompile it? You can't use a normal Linux binary from what I know.

I look at recompiling briefly, but it's going to take a little more time than I was able to invest. Maybe I can work it out this weekend, though I'm far from the best at that.
