+== Visual Studio Build ==
+I assume you have an svn client on windows.  we are using tortoisSVN on windows
 
-== Setting up dependencies ==
+1.  checkout the latest revions of ossim.  For my windows build I would put it under c:\ossim\vs2005\
+
+so you have at least the following:
+
+ * libwms
+ * ossim
+ * ossimPlanet
+ * ossimPlanetQt
+ * ossim_plugins
+ * ossim_package_support
+
+2.  Download the ossim_dependencies from http://ossim.telascience.org/ossimdata/Windows/vs2005 for the visual studio 2005 build.
+
+you should extract and have a directory called ossim_dependencies in c:\ossim\vs2005
+
+3. Now let's compile the dependencies.  This is a 2 step process.  First go into ossim_dependencies\vcprojects.  
+You only need to load the ossim_deps solution.  Make sure you have it set for release.  I have not fixed other modes yet. 
+Hit build solution.  This will create a 3rdParty directory used by OpenSceneGraph and for ossim into the ossim_dependencies\src\3rdParty.
+
+4.  Once the dependencies are finished cd into ossim_dependencies\src\OpenSceneGraph\VisualStudio.  
+Open the OpenSceneGraphLib solution.  This is the only one that we have setup.  Set to release mode for build and hit build solution.  This solution
+will put things under ossim_dependencies\src\OpenSceneGraph\lib\win32 and ossim_dependencies\src\OpenSceneGraph\bin\win32.  Once this is finished building you 
+are now ready to build the ossim libraries.
+
+
+
+Building OSSIM:
+
+If you want the GUI for ossimPlanetQt then you must download the GPL version of Qt 4.2.3 that we had fixed to produce visual studio projects.  We have it
+here for download and it's called Qt.tgz or Qt.zip.  Extract it at the root c:\.  It should produce the subdirectories c:\Qt\4.2-msvc2005\ .....
+
+Setup the following envirnment variables under the control panel/System Icon.  On XP go to the Advanced tab and hit Environment Variables.  Add a user path to
+c:\Qt\4.2-msvc2005\bin for the qmake executable.  Now add QMAKESPEC variable and set it to win32-msvc2005 so the make spec will target visual studio projects.
+Finally setup the QTDIR variable to point to c:\Qt\4.2-msvc2005
+
+Now you are ready to build the ossim tree.  This is again a couple of steps.  Most of the core we have a single solution for.  the GUI is a little different
+since we must use qmake to produce the studio projects and then build.
+
+1.  cd into c:\ossim\vs2005\ossim\projects\vs2005.  Open up the solution project file. It is setup to do the non GUI builds and will compile ossim, ossimPlanet, libwms, 
+and the currently supported plugins.  Select the Release mode and hit build solution.  The output goes to C:\ossim\vs2005\ossim\projects\vs2005\release\bin, 
+C:\ossim\vs2005\ossim\projects\vs2005\release\lib and C:\ossim\vs2005\ossim\projects\vs2005\release\bin\plugins
+
+2. open up a visual studio command prompt by going to the menu option tools/Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt.  This will setup for command line stuff for visual studio.
+cd into the C:\ossim\vs2005\ossimPlanetQt. within there you should cd into src directory and type in qmake.  After that, you hould have an osismPlanetQt.vcproj in that 
+same directory.  Open that project up in Visual Studio and set to release mode and hit build.  It should put the libraries in C:\ossim\vs2005\ossimPlanetQt\lib.
+
+3. now cd into C:\ossim\vs2005\ossimPlanetQt\apps\ossimplanet.  run qmake and you should produce a file called ossimplanet.vcproj.  Open this up in VisualStudio and set to 
+Release mode and hit build.  this will put the ossimplanet.exe in release/ in the same directory.
+
+
+Packaging:
+
+Optionally a binary package can be created for windows installation.  We use the INNO compiler to build windwos installers.  You can obtain it and install it from here:
+http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php
+if this link is bad then do a google search for inno setup.
+
+Once installed cd into C:\ossim\vs2005\ossim_package_support\vs2005.  You should be able to double click on a file called ossimPlanet.iss and it will bring up the inno setup
+compiler.  If you hit the build buttun it will create a setup.exe file in the output directory in the same location.
+
+== mingw build == 
+
+=== Setting up dependencies ===
 This can be a challenge at times. If the commandline is comfortable for you set up msys first.
