+= Generating Visual Studio Project =
+
+Use [http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/generate_vcxproj.bat generate_vcxproj.bat] script available in GDAL source code tree to generate project files (.vcxproj) for Visual Studio 2010 or later.
+
+The script generates Visual Studio [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h27k75y5.aspx External Project] (aka [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8y48z24a.aspx Makefile Project]) generated project. Makefile Project almost entirely relies on build configuration defined in GDAL `nmake.opt` (or `nmake.local`) and `makefile.vc` files.
+
+{{{
+Usage: generate_vcxproj ^<Visual C++ version^> [32^|64] ^<^(*^) project file name^>
+Parameters:
+   1 : Visual C++ version is not the same as Visual Studio version ^( =^> 10.0 ^)
+   2 : Windows platform 32 for Win32 and 64 for Win64
+   3 : Base file name, with no path and no extension ^(*^)
+Examples:
+   generate_vcxproj 10.1 32 gdal_vs2010
+   generate_vcxproj 11.0 64 gdal_vs2012
+   generate_vcxproj 12.0 64 gdal_vs2013
+   generate_vcxproj 14.0 64 gdal_vs2015
+}}}
+
+1. Edit `nmake.opt` (or `nmake.local`) to configure desired build options.
+2. Generate projects: `generate_vcxproj.bat 14.0 32 gdal_vs2015`
+   * `gdal_vs2015.vcxproj` is generated.
+   * If you build source tree checked out from the repository with [http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/autotest/ autotest] folder included, then also `gdal_vs2015_test.vcxproj` is generated for makefile in `autotest/cpp` folder with GDAL C++ tests.
+3. Launch Visual Studio IDE
+4. Go to File > Open > !Project/Solution...
+5. Open project `gdal_vs2015.vcxproj`.
+6. Add  project `gdal_vs2015_test.vcxproj` to the solution.
+7. Configure Build Dependencies to build the main project before the test project.
+8. Optionally, you may also have to add in Windows SDK library paths in the project's "VC++ Directories" configuration properties.
+9. Save solution in .sln file.
+10. Build.
