Version 0.3.8.1 update for Linux 64-bit
When we switched to Crypto++ 5.6.0 SHA-256 in version 0.3.6, generation got broken on the Linux 64-bit build. Version 0.3.8.1 is on SourceForge with the 64-bit binary updated.
Future versions after 0.3.8 will probably require SSE2. Anyone have Pentium 3 or older where this would be a problem?
IMO, SSE should be required for generation, not simply to run the client.
That’s a good point, I believe you could run with generation off if you don’t have SSE2.
How about add to the top of cryptopp/config.h:
#if !defined(_M_X64) && !defined(x86_64) #define CRYPTOPP_DISABLE_SSE2 1 #endif
that would disable SSE2 for 32-bit builds. (at least with GCC or MSVC)
Hah! This sure helps explain a long-standing mystery.. why my 10,000 khash/sec Linux 64-bit machine is the only one that has never, in two weeks, generated a block. Smiley
Just to confirm — this fix is in SVN 125?

You’re not the only one. I haven’t generated in over a month.
SVN rev 128: disable SSE2 on 32-bit. This may only disable it for MSVC and GCC. Other compilers might have different 64-bit defines.
