[Verse-dev] Building Verse on Win32 (gcc)

[TJay]

I'll try getting R5, as soon as I install a cd burner onto my dad's
pc, or get a LAN going. Right now his pc is the only one with internet
access, and I can't move anything from his pc to mine, where I do all
this programming stuff... x_x Hopefully I'll get it done within these
2 days, so I can get on with the fun stuff ;)

Thanks to Kaos and Emil and Eskil and Florian too ;)

Verse is dependent upon SDL? Surely you mean Loq Airou? In any case
I'll try it ;)

Ah... I don't know how to do that. I didn't go through any Computer
Science courses, so all the stuff I know are the stuff I came across
while doing my own reading. Will have to learn how to use those tools
someday though... x_x

I shall wait till I get R5 ;p

No hurry, I don't think I can get much done till I get my pc hooked up
with the internet x_x
And thanks to Camilla too :D
