Re^2: 64bit compiler from MS

With the Platform SDK, I run:

C:\_64\Platform_SDK\SetEnv.cmd /XP64 /RETAIL
[download]

I forget what, if anything, is achieved by those switches ... and I also don't know if that applies in any way to your Windows SDK.

(I see you've fixed the bufferoverflowu.lib issue in the approved manner :-)

Cheers,
Rob

With the Platform SDK, I run [...] /XP64 /RETAIL I think you mean /xp /x64 /retail It defaults to /win7 /x64 /debug (for me). /win7 should be fine since it's for local use only, but, but /retail is a good idea. (All options are listed by `setenv /?` from the aforementioned console.) (I see you've fixed the bufferoverflowu.lib issue in the approved manner :-) I hesitated, but creating a module that uses ExtUtils::FakeConfig to filter out the value felt like overkill :)	[reply] [d/l]

/XP64 is a valid switch for the Platform SDK: `/XP64 - target Windows XP 64` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
