+ 13. Get the data from Gitorious too : git clone git://gitorious.org/fg/fgdata.git fgdata
+ 14. Wait...
+ 15. Add <any_directory_on_any_drive>/install/msvc90/OpenSceneGraph/bin and <any_directory_on_any_drive>/3rdParty/bin to your PATH environment variable
+ 16. Enjoy - programs are in D:\FGFSDevel\FlightGear\projects\VC90\Win32\Release
+
+It is also possible to compile a Debug version. This is only useful when hacking the code because
+a Debug version is way slower than the Release one.
+
+The 64bit build is only available to people having the Professional edition of Visual Studio 2008. In that case, 15. above should be :
+ 15. Add <any_directory_on_any_drive>/install/msvc90-64/OpenSceneGraph/bin and <any_directory_on_any_drive>/3rdParty.x64/bin to your PATH environment variable
+
+When the manual build works, it is possible to start it from the command line. This is useful
+when setting up a build server or automating the process of retrieving the code and building
+it in a scheduled task. To do that :
+
+ 1. open a command line window
+ 2. execute "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat"
+ or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat" in a
+ 64bit environment (Vista 64-bit or Windows7 64-bit)
+ You should see : "Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 x86 tools."
+ printed in the console
+ ( To start 64-bit build, the right environment is set with :
+ "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" amd64
+ )
+ 3. cd to the FlightGear project directory :
+ D:
+ cd \FGFSDevel\FlightGear\projects\VC90 (for example)
+ 4. start the build with the command line below :
+ msbuild FlightGear.sln /p:Configuration=Release /m
+ or
+ msbuild FlightGear.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /m
+
+That's all...
+
+Note: you may experience the error below running the msbuild command :
+FlightGear\projects\VC90\FlightGear.sln : error MSB4018: The "ResolveVCProjectOutput" task failed unexpectedly.
+...(lots of additionnal messages)
+
+In that case, remove the /m switch from the command line.
