New description:
A related issue to mention first: A lot of compilers don't support 64-bit
windows. So all builds on Win64 that use mingw or gcc are actually
building 32-bit binarys. I think this explains, in part, why there are so
few Win64 reports coming through on smolder. At the moment the only good,
free 64-bit compiler for Windows that I could find is the Microsoft SDK,
v14. I haven't looked into the intel compiler yet, so that may be a
possibility.
Some issues:
- With SDK 14, configure fails in detecting the compiler. To get around
that we need to add "--linkflags='bufferoverflowU.lib'" to configure to
make sure we link with the buffer overflow prevention libraries.
- Build fails because sal.h cannot be found. Apparently this library is
included in earlier MSVC releases, but it does no appear to be in v14. I
don't know when it was removed.
Build fails otherwise for a variety of reasons that I can't debug tonight.
I'm including the output of configure and make.
