[Bf-committers] build blender with mingw

[Yousef Hurfoush]

hi
it hard to install it from the official site, you need to either grab the packages your self or via their installer which doesn't say what i should need for what and it seems there are no x64 officially supported?

and the only reason i want this is because of cycles, as it renders 30% faster!
does any one have a good link to a windows build?


Regards
