mingw

Alright, I am new to DeSmuME and this is most likely a stupid question, go ahead and flame me to your heart's content.

I downloaded DeSmuME and it wasn't working... so then I notice there's a readme, lol. I do everything the readme says up until this part:

"mingw:
All you have to do now is go into your mingw shell
environment, go into the directory where you extracted DeSmuME,
and type: "./configure". Once that's done(and there was no
errors), type: "make". It should now take some time to compile so
go grab yourself a sandwich or beer - whatever suits your fancy
and it should be done in a few minutes. Now all you have to do is
type "./src/desmume" in order to run it."

????

I googled mingw and found a site, downloaded whatever it is. I have NO idea what I actually do with this. What is the shell environment? Can someone please walk me through this entire step?

Re: mingw

You don't need mingw to run Desmume. What's your EXACT problem?

Re: mingw

It's not supported, thus why you get a white screen.
