[gdal-dev] Compiling GDAL with Visual Studio 2015

[Jeff McKenna]

I would reinforce what James said: be careful choosing the command 
prompt, the default "Developer Command prompt for VS2015" with Visual 
Studio 2015 installed on an x64 machine actually builds in x86 - you 
actually need to use the "VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt".  Once 
the window is opened, you can execute "cl" and view its response and 
look for the text 'compiler version 19.00.xx for x64'

Or simply just use James' command. :)
