Initially (2009) I was able to compile on Windows with
Visual Studio 2008 Express.
Also, refer to this page for more infos:
http://www.dias.unina.it/demarco/Work/JSBSim_Matlab/

The bundle that you downloaded was prepared by Brian Mills and
contains probably the VS project files.
Note that the Simulink part of the final Matlab-JSBSim version was
mainly developed by Brian. I gave him the initial idea and supported
him during the development process.

Yes Brian worked mainly on 64-bit machines. I remember I gave him
the binaries also for 32-bit but don't know if they are in the bundle.

Probably yes.

I remember Brian was trying to get the project working on Mac OS X.

It should be possible with the provided GUI.
