[Marble-devel] HOWTO (in progress) - build a libmarble application on windows with Qt Creator, MinGW, CMake

[Torsten Rahn]

Hi Sylvain,

Is there a wiki page for your explanations available? 

Please add your explanations to the wiki even if they are not complete or still

This kind of stuff is usually added to 

http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble

Thanks for your work on this issue!
