All,
I have just checked in some changes that will allow the building of Win32::GUI
with 64 bit perl. The resulting dll's are all 64 bit meaning they run native on
64 bit machines with all the advantages (access to more memory and increased
performance). At this stage, the changes should be considered the first draft
but so far I haven't found any issues in testing. Some of the modules don't
compile with mingw as they rely on MS frameworks such as Win32::GUI::Grid.
I would be grateful for any reports of issues/problems. These changes have been
tested with the 64bit version of mingw not with the 64 bit version of the
Microsoft compiler, but that should also work. The changes should also be
compatible with any 32 bit compiler.
Strawberry perl has started to ship a version with a version of 64 bit mingw
built in:
http://strawberryperl.com/download/strawberry-perl-5.12.0-RC0.0-64bit-beta-1.msi
or:http://strawberryperl.com/download/strawberry-perl-5.12.0-RC0.0-64bit-beta-1.zip
Once downloaded and installed (on a 64bit machine!) it's just a case of getting
the source from sourceforge and running Makefile.PL. If you have a problem
getting the source, drop me a mail off list and I'll email it to you.
Cheers,
jez.
