I guess Chris has prodded me enough times now that I actually have to make good on my promise. Also, Tom’s work on the FC4 version got me motivated.

I’ve place a very draft version of some some instructions for downloading and building MapGuide Open Source from the SVN code repository here:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Building_MapGuide_on_Windows

It worked for me (to the best of my recollection) and it may work for you also. If you try it and run into problems, spot something that is missing, or find something unclear, please hack up the wiki so that those following in your footsteps don’t hit the same issues.
