I will probably just re-build from a newer coin running a newer version.  The guide that I am following is not very good, I had to troubleshoot a HELL OF A LOT.  The guy is so full of shit that it worked fine if you followed his steps.  I had to install a lot more shit than he called for, and a lot of different problems throughout the way that I was able to find by reading through various forums lol.

For example, when compiling the coin from the mingw shell, he says the command is ...you have to use mingw32-make.  make is not recognized at all.  i don't know if that is just a problem on my end, but various forum posts from other sites say otherwise.

Also, from the guide itself, it says I only need to do (from a mingw shell, command prompt, or whatever you call it) well that does not do anything, it just brings up the options menu for me. 

Like I said maybe it's all my end...I don't know.
