Got it working for Windows 8.1 64bit

[traderboy]

I'm only using this locally in development, not in production. I used the same procedure to get https://github.com/geo-data/node-mapserv working on Win8.1 64. There are likely better ways to do this.

1. Download node-mapserver
2. Install Visual Studio Express.
3. Install Mapserver 64 bit headers and libraries from http://archive.gisinternals.com/sdk/. I used http://archive.gisinternals.com/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1600-x64-gdal-1-11-1-mapserver-6-4-1-libs.zip. Unzip to a folder which will be specified in binding.gyp.
4. Use a modified binding.gyp (parts copied from the node-mapserv project). Pasted at bottom of post.
5. Open a VS x64 Cross Tools Command prompt. Make sure python can be found in your path.
6. cd to the node-mapserver folder and type "npm install ." Hopefully it compiles.
7. Make sure you have the correct GDAL/Mapserver binaries installed/unzipped (http://archive.gisinternals.com/sdk/Download.aspx?file=release-1600-x64-gdal-1-11-1-mapserver-6-4-1.zip), run the SDKShell.bat file to set the environment variables, then type "node examples\mapserv.js" and open browser to http://localhost:8080. I had to inline the PROJECTION on line 17 in the gmap75.map file since I got an error: proj error "Permission denied" for "init=epsg:42304". I used: "proj=lcc" "lat_1=49" "lat_0=49" "lon_0=-95" "k_0=1" "x_0=0" "y_0=0" "ellps=GRS80" "datum=NAD83" "units=m" "no_defs"

Here's the binding.gyp I used. Note the path to the unzipped Mapserver headers and libraries in the ms_buildkit and ms_root section under Variables must match your machine.
