Re: [Tora-develop] Procedure for creating a Windows x64 build using the Mingw64 cross-compiler on Fedora 17

[Nathan N. <nn...@ne...>]

I've added you as a project developer, so you should have access to the files release area and SVN/etc.

Once you log in to sf and the project page, you should see additional options available for uploading to the files 
areas. I'll try to take a look soon on adding the relevant files to SVN. I don't currently have a windows build 
environment set up, but might be a reason to bring one online again.
