Hello,
I just discovered bibutils, and they seem immensemy usefull to me. Unfortunately I'm running 64 bit windows seven at work. I have found some windows binaries of the 3.4 version at : http://bibutils.refbase.org/
however they won't run on my 64 bit system.
Does anybody have 64bit windows binaries of the newest bibutils version ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Oliver
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Here is a proof of concpet patch that implements build through CMake: https://gist.github.com/wilx/c2d8f030bb06e8bec6687e8ada4a180e. This allows me to build bib2xml.exe with Visual Studio 2015. It seemed to work but I have not tested it heavily.

(in the Start menu, under the entry MSYS2 64-bit.)
To compile bibutils, run MSYS2 MINGW 64-bit. Once the bash command window is ready, run
pacman -Syu
in order to update the basic shell system. It is possible that the system requires you to close and reopen the shell. Do it and rerun pacman -Syu until the system says it is updated.
To compile 64-bit versions of bibutils, you only need to install two packages, gnu make and the gnu compilers. To do so, run
pacman -S make
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc
Close the shell and reopen it. Change to the bibutils directory sources and follow the instructions in readme.txt, that is, run
./configure
make
make install
That's it. The compilation gives some warnings, no errors, and the programs work fine in Windows 10.

Just wanted to echo this. I wanted to use refbase, but not having 64-bit binaries of bibutils is preventing me from forging ahead.
I don't currently have any way to make Windows binary...

They compiled fine for me under Windows with Git Bash and mingw by doing a regular ./configure && make.
If anyone needs them, they're at sfu.ca/~garnett/bibutils.zip -- no promises they'll work on others' Windowses.
I compiled bibutils for Windows 10 home 64 bit using msys2. This is how:
Download bibutils sources and unpack them preserving the directory structure.
Download msys2 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/ and run the installer.
(See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30069830/how-to-install-mingw-w64-and-msys2)
The installer creates three bash shells, called
MSYS2 MINGW 32-bit
MSYS2 MINGW 64-bit
MSYS2 MINGW
(in the Start menu, under the entry MSYS2 64-bit.)
To compile bibutils, run MSYS2 MINGW 64-bit. Once the bash command window is ready, run
pacman -Syu
in order to update the basic shell system. It is possible that the system requires you to close and reopen the shell. Do it and rerun pacman -Syu until the system says it is updated.
