It was closed with several people asking that Walter use
[Environment64] instead of LIBPATH64. Walter hasn't replied
so it's a bit in limbo.
Hmm, ok. Am I correct in understanding that, for the average
user, the
that'll be an inconsequential decision and *regardless* of how
sc.ini
works the only thing they'll (hopefully) need to worry about is
setting
their environment's %VCINSTALLDIR% and %WindowsSdkDir% vars?
Not quite. The tail of the path changes with VC versions. I've
modified the installer to detect VS and adjust sc.ini
accordingly:

This will make it pretty simple for those using the installer. I
think I'm going to ask Walter to ship an sc.ini more like this
sc.ini Rainer posted[1] and adjust the installer accordingly:
---
; environment for both 32/64 bit
[Environment]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib"
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\..\src\phobos"
"-I%@P%\..\..\src\druntime\import"
LINKCMD=%@P%\link.exe
[Environment64]
; VS2008 and VS2012
LINKCMD64=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\amd64\link.exe
; VS2012
; LINKCMD64=%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64\link.exe
; needed with /DEBUG to find mspdb*.dll
PATH=%PATH%;%VCINSTALLDIR%\bin\x86_amd64;%VCINSTALLDIR%\..\Common7\IDE
; needed to avoid COMDAT folding (bugzilla 10664)
DFLAGS=%DFLAGS% -L/OPT:NOICF
LIB="%@P%\..\lib64"
;;;; search path for C Runtime libraries
; the following lib path works with VS2008, VS2010 and VS2012
LIB=%LIB%;"%VCINSTALLDIR%\lib\amd64"
;;;; search path for Platform libraries
; the following lib path works with Windows SDK 6.x and 7.x
LIB=%LIB%;%WindowsSdkDir%\Lib\x64
; the following lib path works with Windows SDK 8.0
LIB=%LIB%;%WindowsSdkDir%\Lib\win8\um\x64

That sc.ini is much more helpful to people editing by hand (as
well as takes care of some bugs I wasn't aware of).
