Has anyone had any luck compiling this .NET binding for Mapnik?

Question

So I'm trying to build this library that is a .NET binding for Mapnik http://mapnik.org. I ran the "../ext/install.cmd" file successfully but I think that only builds the boost library for c++. When I run the visual studio solution for it afterwards it still has like 900 errors! Mostly in 1 class for text rendering.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mapniknet/

I would love to use this library if anyone can help me get the build to run succesfully.

My system: Win7 64bit

On systems older than Windows 7 patching can not be run if there are spaces in "Program Files" folder name. You can patch mapnik and ICU sources manually applying Mapnik.patch on MapNik folder and icu_vs2010.patch on icu one. If sources were changed previously they should be reverted before patching. After patching rerun install.cmd
