    8 The Windows SDK provides us with the x64 native/cross compilers if you want to build MapGuide in 64-bit. This is not required if you are only building in 32-bit.
     7With the [http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc135 move to VS2012 as the defacto C++ compiler for windows], building MapGuide on Windows with free tools has never been easier.

    10 == Setting up x64 compilers ==
     9Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Desktop now includes *both* x86 and x64 C++ compilers. Installation of additional Windows SDKs and other tools to get the x64 compiler is no longer required. However it is worth noting that the x64 compiler that comes with Visual Studio 2012 Express is a cross-compiler (ie. x86_amd64), and not a native one. This is not really important for building MapGuide, but something to note for when building FDO.

    12 If you don't intend to build 64-bit MapGuide you can skip this section.
     11Before building MapGuide manually via Visual Studio or via msbuild from the command-line, you must set up some environment variables.
     12
     13To set up the environment for 32-bit compilation, launch the Developer Command Prompt for VS2012 and run:
     14{{{
     15setenvironment.bat
     16}}}
     17
     18To set up the environment for 64-bit compilation, launch the Developer Command Prompt for VS2012 and run:
     19{{{
     20setenvironment64.bat
     21}}}
     22
     23Launching Visual Studio (wdexpress.exe) from that same command-line afterwards will carry the initialized environment variables into Visual Studio.
     24
     25All future references to Visual Studio in this page, assume it has been launched with these environment variables set.

    18 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.
