have you tried running it from the .exe file?

Buddy... I'm using Mac which is based on the UNIX backend. It's strictly python or shell for me, no .exe's.
yeah, pardon me... suppose I wasn't fully awake while answering Cheesy. But still, isn't there a program equivalent to py2exe on Mac?

I'm running at ca. 42 Mhps on Mobility Radeon HD 5650, OpenCL SDK 2.3. Best options so far: -d 0 --user=XXX --pass=XXX -w 128 -v -f 5 (I'm not sure what does -f parameter do really, I'm a dummy).
Do you think that individual mining with laptop GPU is worth it? Note: I'm not paying for the electricity.

OK, problem solved, I just needed to read the tutorial to OpenCL mining. Thanks for the answers though. I'd like to have two misc questions: do I have to have the option "Generate coins" in Bitcoin enabled when mining with poclbm? And the second question: when I close poclbm, does my work get saved somewhere? Or does it have to be running all the time until it generates a block?

OK, for the introduction - I'm completely dummy in programming. And I have no intention of learning it now, got other things to do.

But I think that it would be nice to see some tutorial how to apply patches for complete newbies. With all the steps, from choosing a program to install to explaining output files. Honestly, I don't even know in what language is Bitcoin written, but I suppose it's C# (?), because some people here said something about (Microsoft?) Visual Studio...

Now digging into details: I want to apply this patch http://github.com/m0mchil/bitcoin-getwork and from what I understand, a self-made build of Bitcoin is necessary. If this was discussed earlier, please redirect me, maybe I was searching wrongly.

Alternatively, someone keen could build a binary with this patch applied... But an explanation would still be nice.
