Dave,

 

This could have to do with your Visual Studio settings.  It could be that everything in EPICS base was built for 64-bit, but you are linking with some 32-bit Windows DLLs because you don’t have Visual Studio set up correctly for the 64-bit build build.

 

Here is how I do it on my Windows machine when I want to build for both 32-bit and 64-bit on the same machine.

 

I have 2 shortcuts on the desktop, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit.

 

The Properties/Shortcut/Target of the 32-bit shortcut is:

 

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K C:\EPICS\setup_epics_vs2010_win32.bat

 

The Properties/Shortcut/Target of the 64-bit shortcut is:

 

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /K C:\EPICS\setup_epics_vs2010_win64.bat

 

This is the contents of the 32-bit batch file, C:\EPICS\setup_epics_vs2010_win32.bat:

 

set EPICS_HOST_ARCH=win32-x86

set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\re2c;C:\Perl64\bin;H:\epics\base\bin\win32-x86;%PATH%

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86

 

 

This is the contents of the 64-bit batch file, C:\EPICS\setup_epics_vs2010_win64.bat:

 

set EPICS_HOST_ARCH=windows-x64

set PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\re2c;C:\Perl64\bin;H:\epics\base\bin\win32-x86;%PATH%

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86_amd64

 

Note that the 32-bit and 64-bit batch files differ in the argument passed to vcvarsall.bat.  It is “x86” for 32-bit and “x86_amd64” for 64-bit.

Hello…

 

I’m trying to build EPICS baseR3.14.12.4 on a windows64 machine, and I’ve run into the following issue:

I have EPICS_HOST_ARCH set to windows-x64.

 

Any thoughts on what I may be doing wrong?  Thanks…
