Hi Jon,

For 10+ years we maintained the FileGDB build steps for Windows etc at 
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/FileGDB

In general, as a person compiling GDAL, you should bookmark the 
priceless "BuildHints" wiki page, see the "External Library" section 
where various driver compile howtos are listed, at
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/BuildHints

(you can see how for users compiling drivers that a wiki is a lifeline, 
recording build steps that may be 5 years old and 'stale', yet 
containing valuable information to the user)

Please consider recording your steps as well, for other users, as you 
travel down this path.

Thanks!

-jeff
