MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - compiling but pardon my stupidity but

I have down loaded the new compiling tools, the mame source zip file and read the instructions on mamedev.
Im up to the point according to mamedev, i downloaded the source zip file but mamedev stops there, do i unzip it into the buildtools folder also ? And do i still the mingw tools too ? If so do i need to point the buildtools folder to the mingw folder ?

I tried unzipping mame source into buildtools folder then bringing up the cmder.exeand typping make and enter and it returns nothing to make, type make mame, nothing type make -j3 again nothing, tryied several different make *file names* and nothing

So i download new tools, create folder build tools in c: drive, download mame.zip file, then whats next ? Is the mingw folder and tools now obsolete and no longer needed ?

I dont have internet access on my main mame computer so my mame downloads are done on work computer during lunch then later tranfered to my home computer so i dont have direct access.

Any help.would greatly be appreciated !!

Only here to annoy...
