+
+The Windows SDK provides us with the x64 native/cross compilers if you want to build MapGuide in 64-bit.
+
+== Setting up x64 compilers ==
+
+If you don't intend to build 64-bit MapGuide you can skip this section.
+
+== Build Oem ==
+
+=== Manual ===
+
+Open Oem.sln in Visual C++ Express and build the solution using your configuration of choice. You will get an error about a particular project not loading (SQLiteGUI). This is because VS express doesn't support solutions with mixed project types. Fortunately, this project is not required and the error can be safely ignored.

+
+== A note about building CS-Map in 64-bit ==
+
+When building the OpenSource.sln in a 32-bit system using the 64-bit cross compiler, you will get a post-build error. This is because the Compiler project has a post-build step that runs the compiled executable to compile the Coordinate System dictionaries. The compiled executable being a 64-bit binary, will not run on a 32-bit system.
+
+To workaround this, build the OpenSource.sln (Compiler and Library) in 32-bit first, this will trigger the post-build event and compile your CS dictionaries. Then only build the Library project in 64-bit.
+
+== Build Server ==

+
+Open Server.sln in Visual C++ Express and build the solution using your configuration of choice.
