Microsoft Visual C++ compilation for 64-bit Windows
----------------------------------------------------------------
Visual Studio 2005 includes 64-bit compilers, though they are not installed by
default; you need to select them during the installation. The compilers are
32-bit hosted and you do not need a 64-bit machine to use them, just to run the
created executables. Visual C++ Express Edition does not include 64-bit
compilers.
64-bit compilers are also available in various SDKs, for example the .NET
Framework SDK:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/programming/64bit/devtools/
Using project files:
FIXME: Currently only works with wxUSE_NO_MANIFEST set to 1. Also currently
you can't build both 32 and 64 bit versions of the same build at the
same time.
1. Open the VC++ 6 workspace file: build\msw\wx.dsw. Visual Studio will then
convert the projects to the current Visual C++ project format.
2. To add 64-bit targets, go to the 'Build' menu and choose 'Configuration
Manager...'. In the 'Active solution platform' drop down choose '<new>',
then you can choose either 'Itanium' or 'x64'.
For more detailed instructions see:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/9yb4317s(en-us,vs.80).aspx
3. To build, go to the 'Build' menu and choose 'Batch Build...'. Tick all the
all the 'x64|Debug' or all the 'Itanium|Debug' projects, and click 'Build'.
This will build a debug version of the static libs. The section above on
Visual C++ in general has more information about adjusting the settings to
build other configurations.
4. To compile one of the samples open one of the sample projects, such as
samples\minimal\minimal.dsw. Visual Studio will convert the project as in
step 1, then add a 64-bit target as in step 2, and build.
Using makefiles:
1. Open a 64-bit build command prompt, for either x64 or Itanium. Change
directory to build\msw. Then for x64 type (note upper case):
nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64
or for Itanium:
nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=IA64
This will build a debug version of wxWidgets DLLs. See "Configuring the
build" for instruction how to build other configurations such as a release
build or static libraries.
2. Change to the directory of one of the samples such as samples\minimal. Type
the same command used to build the main library, for example for x64:
nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64
Notes:
The versions of the VC++ 8 compiler included with some SDKs requires an
additional library to be linked or the following error is received.
LNK2001 unresolved external symbol __security_check_cookie
If you receive this error add bufferoverflowu.lib to link, e.g.:
nmake -f makefile.vc TARGET_CPU=AMD64 LDFLAGS=bufferoverflowu.lib
See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=894573 for more information.
