Title: Stumped? Win xp pro 32 bit for a windows build with MingW32 Post by: wannaBaMiner on July 12, 2014, 07:52:39 PM Have an old dell GX-240 with windows xp pro 32 bit on it. Have some ASIC hardware : Block erupter Cube, Avalon Mini and an Antminer S1.
I have no clue how to do an actual set up. To mine, No I do not want to CPU or GPU mine, just want the dell as a host if possible? I believe cgminer will work, so I am trying a cgminer/windows build with mingw32 that I found here https://github.com/someone42/cgminer/blob/master/windows-build.txt . Install mingw32 ************************************************************************************** Go to this url ==> http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started Click the link that says "Download and run the latest mingw-get-inst version." Download and run the latest file. Install MinGW in the default directory. (I downloaded the one labeled "mingw-get-inst-20120426" - note that this could be a different version later.) Make sure to check the option for "Download latest repository catalogs". I just selected all the check boxes (excluding "Fortran Compiler") so that everything was installed. ************************************************************************************** * Run the MSYS shell for the first time to create your user directory * ************************************************************************************** (Start Icon/keyboard key ==> All Programs ==> MinGW ==> MinGW Shell). This will create your user directory for you. I was able to follow these instructions up to here and I can not seem to find the MinGW Shell any where? :-\ I think I found it. Just reread the instructions again. Title: Re: Stumped?
