1 64-bit Windows on AMD64/Intel EM64T (x64) is supported. A collector can be
2 built with Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 or with mingw-w64 gcc.
3 4 NT_MAKEFILE has been used in this environment. Type
5 "nmake -f NT_MAKEFILE cpu=AMD64 nodebug=1" in a Visual C++ command line
6 window to build the release variant of the dynamic library with threads
7 support.
8 To verify that the collector is at least somewhat functional,
9 type "nmake -f NT_MAKEFILE cpu=AMD64 check" to build and run the usual test
10 programs. This should create gctest.gc.log after a few seconds.
11 12 cpptest.exe might not run correctly in case of dynamic GC linking. (It seems
13 that we're getting wrong instances of operator new/delete in some cases.)
14 15 This process is completely analogous to NT_MAKEFILE usage
16 for the 32-bit library version.
17 18 A similar procedure using NT_MAKEFILE is applicable to build the static
19 library - just pass "enable_static=1" as an extra argument to nmake.
20 If needed, it is also possible to build the library without threads
21 support - this could be done by passing "disable_threads=1" argument to nmake.
22 23 Note that some warnings have been explicitly turned off in the makefile.
24 25 VC++ note: to suppress warnings -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE is used.
