How to build 64-bit executables with msvc?
user name
2007-10-04 12:23:41
I am running 32bit windows XP. I would like to use bbv2 (from 1.34.1) to build 64bit exectuables. I read some threads on this list from January and July, but I remain unclear on the exact command-line invocation/user-config.jam that will work. One attempt:

### user-config.jam

import toolset : using ;
using msvc ;

### invocation
 bjam  address-model=64 regex

### result
compile-c-c++ bin.v2libsregexbuildmsvc-8.0debugaddress-model-64threading-multic_regex_traits.obj
'cl'; is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

---

I also tried adding:
 using msvc : 8.0amd : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\amd64\cl.exe" ;

to my user config and then invoking as:
bjam --toolset=msvc-8.0amd address-model=64 regex

In this case, things seem to start out ok, but instead of compilation, I got a series of dialog boxes indicating that an attempt was being made to directly execute rsp files. Presumably vcvarsall.bat is not being invoked. Finally, I tried adding:

&nbsp;msvc.configure 8.0 : "<command>c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\amd64\cl&quot; "&lt;setup>;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\vcvarsall.bat" ;

to my user-config.jam (based on a message from Dave A. from July). This only results in:
C:homeuser-config.jam:34: in modules.load
rule msvc.configure unknown in module user-config.

Could someone please tell me exactly what I must do to succeed in this endeavor?

Thanks,
Mat

I believe you have to explicitly configure msvc, providing
the path of the regular
32-bit compiler, like this:

	using msvc : 8.0 : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\cl.exe" ;

and then, you should say:

	bjam address-model=64

or

	bjam address-model=64 architecture=opteron

I've just some fruitfull off-list discussion with Ilya
Sokolov, who
explained quite some details about msvc 64-bit support, but
haven't yet converted
that to docs.

Thanks for the reply. I followed your suggestion. Unfortunately, it seems to lead to the same outcome (dialog boxes, failure to call vcvarsall?) described in one of my experiments above:

Okay, please try this:

	using msvc : 8.0 : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\cl.exe" 
		: <setup>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 8\VC\BIN\vcvarsall.bat" 
		;

make sure that paths are correct -- I'm not sure I got the
path to the script right. If that works,
we can try figuring why original attempts failed.

Still doesn't work (when paths are adjusted. (For XP 32 bit: there is no (x86) in the path). Also,vcvarsall.bat lives one directory higher.

As an experiment I also tested in a "Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt&quot; window. Presumably this is a command window in which vcvarsall.bat has been pre-executed. In this case, I seem to get a little bit further. Now I am seeing a lot of these messages:

cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '/favor:blend';, and an occasional: cl : Command line warning D9025 : overriding '/GR&#39; with '/GR-&#39;
but at least it's compiling now. This kind of makes me wonder about the settings. Thanks for the help so far.Let me know if  you have further advice, or if there are further tests that I might carry out that would assist you in getting this automated.

I use
   using msvc : all ;

in user-config.jam, and invoking
    bjam msvc-8.0 address-model=64 regex

works as expected on my machine.

Perhaps it was working on your machine because you are running a 64bit os? Is cross-compiling from win32 to build a 64bit target supported? Tested?

No, I use Windows XP 32bit, and cross-compiling to 64-bit
works fine for me.

  Since I have several versions of msvc, I use
    using msvc : all ;

  Other than this, there is nothing else in
user-config.jam.

  I am using VC8 without the service pack, Windows XP SP2
32bit.

  I am using the SVN version. However, I think it has worked
for a
while now, even with BB shipped with 1.34.1.

  Below is a part of output after running

  I think something is wrong with your setup or
installation, as I
don't get errors for using /favor:blend.

Thanks for taking the time to post your configuration info for me. I am now getting the same results as you are. Summary, for others who may face similar error messages in the future:
The user-config and command that I tried in the beginning of this thread (essentially the same as the one that you are using), should work fine. That is, I have now confirmed on my primary 32 bit XP machine that:
 
### user-config.jam

import toolset : using ;
using msvc ;

### invocation
 bjam  address-model=64 regex
&nbsp;
seems to work under cross compilation. I was using a travel laptop when I originally posted. The fact that I was gettting:

compile-c-c++ bin.v2libsregexbuildmsvc-8.0debugaddress-model-64threading-multic_regex_traits.obj
'cl&#39; is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
 
was symptomatic of the fact that the 64-bit compilation tools had not been installed on that machine. Unfortunately, after reading through previous posts on this list, I started editing my user-config.jam file. My edits there created further problems, as did the other suggested edits in this thread. When my user-config.jam was restored to contain the plain "using msvc", all was well on my properly configured machine. But on the same (functioning) machine, all of the user-confg edits suggested above cause compilation to fail.

Thanks to all for the help in this thread,
Mat
