[Wrapper-user] I've compiled the JSW 64 bit Windows binaries without Visual Studio

[Daniel M. <dan...@be...>]

I needed to move my Java applications using the JSW to a Xeon based 64
bit server running Windows Server 2003 RC2 Standard x64 Edition this
week. Much to my dismay, there is no 64 bit Windows distribution of the
JSW binaries. Also, I have no access to Visual Studio, which is required
out of the box to use the 64 bit build scripts included with the JSW
source package.

Since I really, really like using JSW, I hacked up the JSW build script,
batch files, and Windows 64bit makefiles. I was able to succesfully
build wrapper.dll and wrapper.exe on this architecture (with a few
warnings from cl.exe about unknown arguments) using the Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 R2 Platform SDK (which is available for free from MS
at

969-ACE8-E4C0C0716ADB&displaylang=3Den).

It seems to work just fine. The most important part of the modifications
was removing the unnecessary dependencies to basetsd.h in the Visual
Studio-generated .dep files.

If anyone is interested in a set of instructions for reproducing a
compilation under these circumstances, my modified makefiles/scripts, or
the compiled binaries themselves, just let me know via the list and I'll
work up some sort of distribution.
