[Mono-dev] Compiling 64-bit windows mono-2.0 library with Visual Studio

[Matt Guerrette]

Im trying to embed scripting in C++ using the mono jit runtime in libmono.
I wanted to build a 64 bit library of the mono runtime but that doesnt seem
possible on Windows. Does anyone know of a way to do so using Visual
Studio? The msvc project included in the mono github repo fails miserably.
