Category: 51. Portability Support Group: None >Status: Open Resolution: Fixed Priority: 7 Private: No Submitted By: John Stone (jestone) Assigned to: Jeffrey Hobbs (hobbs) Summary: Support for builds on x64 (64-bit) Windows Initial Comment: We use Tcl as an embedded interpreter within a larger scientific visualization application, and we need support for the 64-bit Windows platforms. The old VC6 based makefiles won't work with Visual Studio 2005. Beyond that, there are a number of portability issues in the source code itself that need to be addressed. Some others have also asked about this on the tcl-win list, but I haven't seen any response from the core Tcl devlopers in the last six months. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: John Stone (jestone) Date: 2007-02-09 22:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48806 Originator: YES Jeff, Thanks. I'll take a look at the latest. Is this in CVS, or are recent snapshots ok to test with? Cheers, John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeffrey Hobbs (hobbs) Date: 2007-02-09 22:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=72656 Originator: NO I believe these are addressed now. I'm not sure that mingw properly supports x64 builds (not officially), so MSVC is what should be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Stone (jestone) Date: 2006-04-03 01:43 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48806 Ok, after updating to the latest CVS, the escape character issues are solved, but I still get build failures due to mismatched types when building an x64 Tcl library/executable with the cygwin tools. I've attached the configure/make log to show the errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeffrey Hobbs (hobbs) Date: 2006-03-29 23:07 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=72656 ack - you caught me. I'd made the ".\" fixes in 8.4, but not the head. Please try again (once head propagates to anoncvs). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Stone (jestone) Date: 2006-03-29 19:50 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48806 I've just attached the output from 'make -f makefile.vc' on x64 as well for reference, it fails with mismatched type errors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: John Stone (jestone) Date: 2006-03-29 19:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=48806 Here's the output from a fresh 'cvs update -PAd' via cygwin, on x64. It still has issues with the escape character sequenc e that configure generates in the compile line: -I".\" I thought that had been fixed already, but after doing the CVS update, the problem still occurs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jeffrey Hobbs (hobbs) Date: 2006-03-29 04:35 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=72656 Tcl builds and runs fine on Win-x64 from the cygwin or makefile.vc files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=360894&aid=1436999&group_id=10894 |
