RE: building 64-bit base on windows

["Mark Rivers" <rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>]

Hi Matthew,
 
I never tried building windows-x64 on 3.14.11.  But it definitely works on 3.13.12.1.  I build it both "natively" on a Windows 7 64-bit machine with EPICS_HOST_ARCH=windows-x64, and also cross-compiling for windows-x64 from an XP 32-bit machine with EPICS_HOST_ARCH=win32-x86.  I am using Visual Studio 2008.

Subject: building 64-bit base on windows



Hi,

I'm attempting to build a 64-bit version of base 3.14.11 on Windows Server 2008. From reading tech-talk, I've not come across this specific problem I have. In the 3.14.12 release notes I saw that windows-x64 support was added for that release, but there are x64 config files in the 3.14.11 release. Is it the case that the 3.14.11 support was incomplete and that I need to move to 3.14.12?

I managed to build the win32-x86 version with no issues, but the windows-x64 version fails the first time the linker is called (error pasted below).

We're using Visual Studio 2010, with GnuWin32 make 3.81 and ActiveState Perl 64-bit 5.12.4. To set up the VS environment I'm calling "vcvarsall.bat" passing "amd64" as an argument.

Here's where the linker fails, after successfully compiling libCom...


link /nologo /subsystem:windows /dll /MANIFEST /LTCG /incremental:no /opt:ref /r
elease /version:3.14     /implib:Com.lib /out:Com.dll
LINK : warning LNK4001: no object files specified; libraries used
LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X64
LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DllMainCRTStartup

make[1]: *** [libCom.install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `D:/epics/base/src'
make: *** [src.install] Error 2


There are no object files in the argument list of the linker. There's also an error which seems to indicate it can't find the C runtime libraries.

Any ideas? I've pasted my environment below, in case that's helpful...

Cheers,
Matthew
