Going 32 bit nowadays is a no go. Full stop. Wish you luck.

So, just how are you folks actually making that work? I imagine the build process should be something roughly along these lines: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Bin\SetEnv.Cmd" /Debug /x64 /win7 ./configure --enable-symbols --with-tcl=C:/P/Tcl85/lib --prefix=C:/web/nsd499-dtk nmake -f Makefile all But Naviserver's "configure" is of course a Bourne shell script and cannot run from the Windows command prompt. So what should I do instead? Install Msys just to run configure? Or perhaps skip configure and just pass various options to nmake? Is the Makefile that ships with Naviserver even known to work on Windows with nmake and the MS SDK compiler? I do NOT have 64-bit zlib installed yet. Hopefully I can build without it, and just turn the zlib features in Naviserver? Btw, I have ActiveTcl (which is threaded) installed in C:\P\Tcl85\, so I figured I'd try linking against that first before compiling my own Tcl. The stock Tcl win/README file says that they build with "Visual C++ 6.0 and the TEA Makefile", but VC++ 6.0 is 32-bit only, so the ActiveState folks must be doing something slightly different for their 64-bit builds. Anybody know offhand what they really use or where their 64-bit Windows build scripts are located? -- Andrew Piskorski <a...@piskorski.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
