I've used the Windows 7 SDK to compile MPIR in both 32- and 64-bit mode. I just used the batch file approach but I believe the SDK will add a 64-bit compiler to Visual Studio Express. IIRC, the 7.0 SDK corresponds to VS 2008 and the 7.1 SDK corresponds to VS 2010. casevh > I've attempted to build the MPIR project by importing the Visual Studio > 10 solution as provided in 2.4.0, but have run into difficulties that > didn't present themselves with Express Edition.
