Hey guys, some hardware changes here and I'm making another stab at getting cgminer going in windows
I have been following the windows-build.txt instructions and everything seems to be happening so far, but the current step is
"Copy CGMiner source code directory into: \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\9folder with your user name)"
so far the instructions have been clear...but ?what? CGMiner source code directory? where do I find it?
I know I am retarded and this is facepalmingly obvious...but please help
Are you trying to use CGminer as a miner or are you attempting to play with the source? I have been following the windows-build.txt instructions and everything seems to be happening so far, but the current step is
"Copy CGMiner source code directory into: \MinGW\msys\1.0\home\9folder with your user name)"
so far the instructions have been clear...but ?what? CGMiner source code directory? where do I find it?

If you are using just the miner to mine, download the ZIP, Extract it any ware (Desktop, c:\,...) and launch cgminer.exe. create a cgminer.conf file that looks like this. (see the example.conf for help)
