In order to run P2Pool with the Litecoin network, you would need to build and install the ltc_scrypt module that includes the scrypt proof of work code that Litecoin uses for hashes.
Linux:
cd litecoin_scrypt
sudo python setup.py install
Windows (mingw):
- Install MinGW: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
- Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
In bash type this:
cd litecoin_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
Windows (microsoft visual c++)
- Open visual studio console
In bash type this:
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS110COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2012
SET VS90COMNTOOLS=%VS100COMNTOOLS% # For visual c++ 2010
cd litecoin_scrypt
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py build --compile=mingw32 install
If you run into an error with unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin', see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6034390/compiling-with-cython-and-mingw-produces-gcc-error-unrecognized-command-line-o
Run P2Pool with the "--net litecoin" option. Run your miner program, connecting to 127.0.0.1 on port 9327. Forward port 9338 to the host running P2Pool.
Litecoin's use of ports 9332 and 9332 conflicts with P2Pool running on the Bitcoin network. To avoid problems, add these lines to litecoin.conf and restart litecoind:
rpcport=10332
port=10333
