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_StartedClick 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.
