[Bf-committers] How to build official binaries for Blender

[Yousef Hurfoush]

i don't know how much code cycles needs to work with msvc compiler as good as the mingw, and also would like to get away from closed/property  compilers, as OSS mingw is the better choice.

but thanks man, the vs2012 ide is very good to work with for devlopment.
