2020-10-30build-system: Docker build for 64bit MXEGravatar Dirk Hohndel
We previously tried to build the MXE Docker container on GitHub using an Action, but that really didn't work well and was a lot more trouble than it was worth. So this goes back to an offline build mechanism where I simply create an updated Docker image when needed and push that to Docker Hub. But this nearly hides the most interesting change here - we are finally switching to using 64bit binaries on Windows. It's 2020 and fewer than 1% of our users use 32bit Windows machines. We'll need to expand this to be able to have both a 32bit and a 64bit version of Subsurface for Windows. But for now, this solves the problem for 99% of our users.

2020-09-28build-system: document how to create a Windows installerGravatar Dirk Hohndel
These are the instructions that I use at this point. Removed a long obsolete script - it's been many, many years since that last was useful (it was still using qmake to try to build Subsurface) Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
