Hello,
I'm very well satisfied with the DMD 32bit compiler and the
OptLink linker on Windows. I even made an incremental builder to
it, and I can see the running program in 1 second.
Lately I sadly noticed, that the OptLink works only for 32bit
target, and I need to go to 64bit if I want to have access to the
SIMD instructions on vector operations.
So this is what I've tried so far:
- Installed visual C++ 2010.
- Installed Windows SDK 7.1 (don't know why, 'though)
-> Error: dmd cant find "\bin\link.exe"
- Added environment variable: set VCINSTALLDIR=c:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC
-> Error: Can't load mspdb100.dll
- Added set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE
-> Error: LNK1104: cannot open file 'libcmt.lib'
- copied it to c:\D\dmd2\windows\lib64 (yes, I really desperately
want it to work lol)
-> Error: LNK1104: OLDNAMES.lib, shell32.lib
- copied these too
And finally got the error:
-> libcmt.lib(fdopen.obj) : fatal error LNK1112: module machine
type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'
So I've searched through the whole C drive and this 32bit one was
the only libcmt.lib.
The linker is located at: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin\link.exe"
There is no amd64 folder near to it at all.
Obviously I'm doing something wrong because a trivial task like
changing target to 64bit can't be so complicated. Please help and
tell me how to do it properly!
Thanks in advance!
