    18  * [http://mateusz.loskot.net/ Mateusz Loskot] - if you need direct contact, I'm the author of OSGeo FDO Provider for PostGIS.

    20 == Prerequisites ==
    21 
    22 This provider is compiled against FDO 3.2.2, which means that it requires !MapGuide Open Source 1.2.  It should also work with Autodesk !MapGuide Enterprise 2008, and AutoCAD Map 3D 2008, but has not been thoroughly tested.
    23 
    24 Current testing is being done against PostgreSQL 8.2 and PostGIS 1.3.1.  It should work with previous versions, as we are using older-style SQL functions.  However, you will require a copy of the 8.2 DLLs to use this provider.
    25 
    26 This provider is currently only compatible with Windows.  If you would like to help out with creating a Linux build, please let us know.
