Following are my (rather flaky) notes on compiling 3.7 with GD2 and postgis
winder windows with vc6. I also put my makfile at:

=== 3.7 notes ====
3.7 still compiles with GD 1.8.4, but this apparently doesn't provide 24bit
color support. GD-2 does, but requires freetype2.
From 3.7 README.WIN32
- MapServer uses the GD library from http://boutell.com/ and the Win32
makefiles are set by default to work with GD version 1.8.4 with the
GIF support patch (see http://www.rime.com.au/gd/)
If you are using a different version of GD, then it is very important
to make sure that you update the -DUSE_GD_* flags in all the Makefile.vc.
GD-2 (gd-2.0.11) requires the following, which I put under the
gd-2.0.11 directory:
* zlib (1.1.4)
copy files zlib.dnt, makefile.nt from zlib-1.1.4\nt ->
zlib-1.1.4
nmake /f makefile.nt
libpng (1.2.5)
lpng*.zip for DOS end-of-line (libpng-*.tar.gz for
UNIX-style EOL)
Do zlib before libpng
Has VC Studio project file, however I found makefile.msc in scripts
directory and edited it (look for #RWG comments in makefile)
jpeg (6b)
rename jconfig.vc -> jconfig.h
# RWG - comment out next line
# $(RM) libjpeg.lib
nmake /f makefile.vc
freetype2
Wants gnu make, which I found compiled at:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/
Couldn't get it to make, downloaded pre-compiled version:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/freetype.htm
And un-zipped it right into gd-2.0.11 directory - creating include and lib
subdirectories.
gdft.c fails in the make, but just cl gdft.c and gdft.obj gets made, and
then do another make to carryon.
GDAL (1.1.8)
Do not have ECW in there yet! Need to edit nmake.opt in GDAL 1.1.8
* Thanks to the Frank Warmerdam, Ed McNierney, and Jan Hartmann for their
quick answers and sharp minds. I had compiled gd with zlib 1.1.4, however I
had compiled gdal with zlib 1.1.3 (gdal 1.1.8 includes zlib 1.1.3 in the
source archive under the frmts directory). Recompiling gd with the same
version of zlib as I used in gdal solved the problem.

Hi all<br><br>
Does anyone have a working binary of GD2.x.x for Windows? I am having trouble getting it to compile on using the MSVC compiler. I've noticed that DMSolutions has some Mapserver3.7 binaries available using GD2, however I also need my binaries to have SDE support. The windows build instructions for GD2 are practically non-existant. If the mapserver people could provide a GD2 binary for users to build against, Im sure it would make it alot easier for people.<br><br>
