as the unified installer has options for 64 and 32 bit installs. I assume the 64 bit install will not run on a 32 bit machine or a 32 bit OS install. Does which install is chosen ONLY effect the actual running of the tools themselves on the HOST machine or does it have any influence on what the tools build and link - ie: what compile targets are built and what libraries are present and/or linked with? Or is what target is built 100% selected by the build scripts coded to use the tools? Related, Will both versions run underneath 32 bit shells or interpreters like ant, make, or ruby that may be 32 bit executables themselves yet running on a 64 bit OS? If there is a difference in the output targets, can one install BOTH versions in the same install directory (ie: can then unzip on either a 32 or 64 bit machine and the proper libraries/dlls for runtime are lanuched by the master .exe or does one have two installs and select which one to use by setting the path appropriately? Hope this isn't too messy a set of questions :) I just didn't see any explicit mention of it. Thanks !! PK |
