doc/README.win64
 
1
64-bit Windows on AMD64/Intel EM64T is somewhat supported in the 7.0
 
2
and later release.  A collector can be built with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005.
 
3
The resulting test programs have been known to work at least once.
 
4
More testing would clearly be helpful.
 
5
 
 
6
NT_X64_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE has been used in
 
7
this environment.  Copy this file to MAKEFILE, and then type "nmake"
 
8
in a Visual C++ command line window to build the static library
 
9
and the usual test programs.  To verify that the colllector is
 
10
at least somewhat functional, run gctest.exe.  This should create
 
11
gctest.exe.log after a few seconds.
 
12
 
 
13
This process is completely analogous to NT_STATIC_THREADS_MAKEFILE
 
14
for the 32-bit version.
 
15
 
 
16
A similar procedure using NT_X64_THREADS_MAKEFILE should be usable to
 
17
build the dynamic library.  Test_cpp.exe did not seem to run correctly this
 
18
way.  It seems that we're getting the wrong instances of operator new/delete
 
19
in some cases.  The C tests seemed OK.
 
20
 
 
21
Note that currently a few warnings are still generated by default,
 
22
and a number of others have been explicitly turned off in the makefile.
