Thread: [WiX-users] Re compiling WiX C++ libs for 64-bit

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I have a C++ WiX custom action which happens to be a shim to a .NET assembly.
I am now trying to produce a 64-bit version of the installation kit.

Questions:

1. Do I have to recompile my shim (i.e. C++ custom action) to 64-bit?
2. If so, here is the problem:
  - existing WiX C++ libraries (wcautil.lib and dutil.lib) are 32-bit.
  - i tried linking against them while doing the 64-bit compile but a number
of symbols is not found.
  - trying to solve the problem i ventured down the path of recompiling
these libs on to 64-bit platform, but hit a roadblock as i do not know how
to pass the required compiler #define to the VisualCPP.ClTask in Nant.

  Questions:

  1. How do i pass /D _X64_ via nant script? Based on the log output, the
task that gets executed is VisualCpp.Tasks.ClTask.ExecuteTask. now the nant
script only has a call to "makeNativeLib". I am quite puzzled about this
target. Where is this coming from?
And more importantly how do I pass ClTask.options values through it?
Obviously a bunch of "standard" defines are already present (see the log)
but i am not sure how i can add my defines to it...

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks.
