[Bf-committers] Fwd: [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [19592] trunk/blender: BGE Scenegraph and View frustrum culling improvement.

[Campbell Barton]

Recently I downloaded the free MSVC and to get it running you have to
jump through some hoops (get a WindowsLive account), go out and
install an extra package for windows headers IIRC there where some
other deps too that added up to a few 100mb.

After that it worked well but its means you cant quickly build blender
on a windows system without this messing about.

yep cygwin is very broken, should probably be removed or someone
support it again.
