Description

Sean Goodpasture has written an article on building Xapian and the C# bindings on 64 bit Windows: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/library/XapianUnderWindows.aspx This could be used as the foundation for updated Windows build files (which should probably be renamed from 'Win32' accordingly!)

I've now successfully built C# bindings for 64 bit Windows, using free versions of the Microsoft tools on a 32 bit platform. This isn't a particularly straightforward process so it's not appropriate to fold into the Windows build file distro at the moment, I will hopefully work out a tidy way to do this in the future. I have written a Wiki article at http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/BuildXapianForSixtyFourBitWindows as a temporary measure.
