HERCULES FOR WIN64 README FILE
There are two 64-bit architectures supported by 64-bit Windows:
- x64 also known as x86_64 (for AMD64 and Intel EM64T processors)
- ia64 (for Intel Itanium processors)
This document covers only the x64 architecture.
HOW TO COMPILE HERCULES FOR AMD64
1. Install Visual Studio 2008 (VS9) Standard or Professional Edition
A 90-day evaluation edition can be downloaded from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/bb633753.aspx
2. On a 32-bit Windows system, go to the start menu and choose
"All Programs" - "Microsoft Visual Studio 2008" - "Visual Studio Tools"
- "Visual Studio 2008 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt"
3. At the command prompt, enter the command:
SET CPU=AMD64
4. Because the build procedure does not yet support the 64-bit versions
of the compression and PCRE libraries, enter the following commands:
SET ZLIB_DIR=NONE
SET BZIP2_DIR=NONE
SET PCRE_DIR=NONE
5. nmake clean
nmake
6. The binaries will be installed into subfolder "msvc.AMD64.bin"
If you compiled on a 32-bit Windows system, copy this folder
to your target 64-bit Windows machine.
7. If you copy the binaries to a machine which does not have Visual
Studio 2008 (VS9) installed, then you must also install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64)
on the target machine. This package can be downloaded from
