[Quickfix-developers] 64-bit JNI

[Thomas W. <tw...@fo...>]

Hey folks,

I didn't see anything on this topic in the archives - apologies if it's
been covered before.

I'm running RHEL4.0 on a dual Opteron box.  I tried building Quickfix
along with the new 64-bit JDK from Sun.
Although this may be stating the obvious, trying to use the Java
wrappers in 64-bit mode will probably not work.   A quick guess is that
some of the pointer passing in the JNI glue layer will need changing
before 64-bit JNI will work.    The 64-bit version of the core lib,
however, passed all of the acceptance tests with flying colors.

For anyone who is going to use Java (like me), I suggest sticking with
the 32-bit JDK and compiling the CPP code in 32-bit mode.   This was not
too hard, and RHEL had 32-bit versions of all the libs I needed, except
MySQL client, but that was easy enough to get from the MySQL web site.
