Good to read! But yes, not having an ANGLE build for MinGW is sad news. I spent several evenings now with my netbook, even trying to get a MESA/llvmpipe software OpenGL renderer for it. Recently, a Windows MSVC project has been added. I tried to build it with Qt5.1/MSVC/ANGLE with MSVC2010-SP1 express installed (which is a free download), but it failed again while building. Any success stories here? Should it work? Shall I try with MSVC directly or build with QtCreator calling the MSVC tools? NMake or Ninja? Jom or not? Or will MSVC2012 or 2013 succeed? Every large installation or build on the netbook takes considerable time, so better not waste it...
